BroadWeigh appoints Paradigm as US technical partner for wireless load monitoring technology

UK instrumentation specialist Mantracourt Electronics has announced the appointment of Paradigm Rigging as Technical Partner for the supply of its BroadWeigh™ wireless load monitoring equipment to the Canadian and United States entertainment sector.

 

The BroadWeigh portable wireless system offers real-time, simple, effective and accurate load monitoring for rigging professionals, safety officials and site managers, enabling them to monitor and log the precise loads on any given rigging point.

Central to the design of the BroadWeigh system are wireless shackles equipped with a high accuracy load pin that reports data remotely to a computer or a handheld display.  The system is able to monitor multiple load cells and can trigger an alarm should a load exceed a preset parameter.

“We are very pleased to be appointed as a distributor for the BroadWeigh™ equipment,” said Michael Sorowka, CEO of Paradigm Rigging Inc. “The BroadWeigh™ technology addresses a very important requirement throughout the entertainment and exhibition industry. BroadWeigh is a very well thought out and effective system and we can see a lot of potential for this equipment.”

The BroadWeigh system is regarded worldwide as a powerful and cost effective solution for entertainment venues, touring companies and production suppliers, to provide essential measurements of force information, helping operatives eliminate overload risks. The system has been developed in conjunction with entertainment industry professionals for real world work environments.

“We are pleased to be working with Paradigm Rigging and we look forward to a long and successful relationship,” said Jonathan Purdue, Sales Manager at Mantracourt. “Their experience of the industry puts them in a good position to advise potential customers on how best to use the BroadWeigh systems and to provide product training and technical support where necessary.”

The ease of use of the BroadWeigh system, the speed at which it can be deployed and its cost effective pricing structure, has enabled it to be adopted by many of the world’s leading tour, stage and event managers.
