The Crosby Straightpoint COLT is a lightweight wire rope tension meter, for fast and accurate measurement of tensions up to 11,000lb or 5000 kg and up to 1” or 25mm diameter. Manufactured using an integral, high accuracy, Bluetooth module, the COLT transmits load data wirelessly to any smart device running our free Android or iOS app. Constructed from aerospace grade aluminium, the COLT digital tensiometer is lightweight and easy to handle. Its main operational application is to be attached to wires/cables that are already under tension. Once in place, it allows the operator to quickly check tension on cables or wire ropes set at any angle. A built-in magnetic smart device holder allows the COLT to be used as a traditional tension meter with on board display, or the smartphone can be handheld or mounted elsewhere. Supplied in a purpose made carry case, the COLT is portable and utilises standard alkaline batteries, making it perfect to carry out on-site cable tension testing anywhere in the world. An optional calibration verification tool (CVT) allows the operator to self-check and verify calibration accuracy, in the field, if required. Wire Rope Mode:  Records GPS coordinates;  Logs the local temperature and wind speed from the local NOAA;  Multi anchor data logging with camera mode for a photo on your report. Elevator Mode:  Car weighing – measure tension on each cable and automatically calculate car weight;  Car balancing – measure and calculate the balance of load across up to 10 cables.
