Arborist Load Cell - Impact Block

The safest choice for the working Arborist. Manufactured in partnership with DMM, the Impact Block has been designed to deliver the best performance in terms of alignment, resistance and appeal. The aesthetic curves of the Impact Block combines beauty, strength and durability to ensure a rope friendly surface.

Coupled with wireless dynamic load monitoring electronics and strain gauge technology from Straightpoint and providing real time data to either handheld controller or logging via Straightpoints INSIGHT software to tablet or laptop, it is easy to see why this is one of the most sought after products in the industry.

During development, the Straightpoint Impact Block has gone through a thorough dynamic and static validation testing regime. The end result is a highly functional product with an impressive strength to weight ratio.
