Quick-Check Tension Meter

View Specifications

The Dillon Quick-Check tension meter is the premier innovation in the cable tensioning industry. Nothing comes close to the absolute simplicity of design and accuracy. It is ideal for cable guardrails, guy lines and overhead wires. The digital load cell is rugged, highly repeatable and accurate.

The Dillon Quick-Check tension meter can be placed on a cable, measure its tension, and removed in under five seconds. There are no complex lookup tables or conversion charts – saving time and money. The Quick-Check tension meter can be employed in many industries requiring proper and provable tensioning. Typical applications include:

  • Cell towers
  • Stack guy wires
  • Pre-tensioned cable barriers
  • Bridges
  • Elevators
  • Winch rope
  • Overhead electric transit wires
  • Fall arrest systems
  • Aircraft arresting cables
  • Utilities

The operator can quickly select from 20 pre-calibrated wire sizes and types stored in Quick-Check’s memory. The Quick-Check tensioning mode graphically displays the current and target tension control limits for extremely quick setting of line tension. Even the infrequent battery changes are quick.
