MTNW recently completed an evaluation of tensiometer suppliers and was particularly impressed with a rugged, well-designed running line tensiometer (RLT) that features an alloy-steel frame with marine grade coating and high quality stainless steel fixtures. Force and count sensors are located in a removable center sheave, allowing for easy installation without the need to cut or modify the winch lines. If future needs change these RLT’s can be just as easily removed for use in other applications.
In addition to our flagship tensiometer line MTNW has recently added a new more cost effective option to our catalog, the Solid Side Plate Tensiometers. While retaining the durable construction and accuracy of our existing models we have streamlined the design of the new units to reduce production costs, and passed on these savings to our customers.
