The Quick-Check Red Cable Tension Meter measures line tension in guy wires, zip lines, guardrail cable, guyed mast towers and overhead lines. It installs, measures and removes in seconds. The Quick-Check features a precision loadcell for highly accurate measurements that do not require lookup or correction tables.
The Quick-Check Red can be placed on a cable, measure its tension, and removed in under three seconds! There are no complex lookup tables, no conversion charts. The operator can quickly select from 20 different wire sizes and types stored in the Quick-Check's memory. The Check-Tensioning mode graphically displays the current and target tensions for extremely quick setting of line tension. Even the infrequent battery changes are quick.
The Quick-Check Red is used in many industries to ensure proper line tension. Common applications include tower and stack guy wires, zip lines, pretensioned cable barriers, bridges, elevators, winch rope, overhead electric transit wires, fall arrest systems, aircraft cables and utilities.
- Includes NIST-Traceable Calibration Certificate
- 2 Year Warranty
- Stores calibrations for up to 20 unique wire sizes and types up to 1 inch max. (25 mm)
- CE Certified
- Portable and rugged – designed for outdoor use
- Telescoping handle engages meter quickly with minimal effort
- Uses stanadrd AA Batteries for up to 120 hours of use
- User-selected units of measure of Lbf, Kgf or Newtons
Calibrate each cable diameter installed with the most appropriate sheaves. If two cable types are used of the same diameter (e.g. ½” 7x7 and ½” 6x19), calibrate each type independently if accuracy is critical.
Recalibration: At user discretion. Commonly 24 months but should be more frequently with heavy use. Factory recalibration conducted typically in 2-4 days.
Custom Calibration Available
The Quick-Check can be calibrated with a customer supplied sample if none of the factory calibrated materials are suitable. In this case a 10 ft. sample must be supplied (non-returnable).

Calibration load may be changed if desired. Higher calibration loads are limited by max. capacity of the sling. If the desired wire size/type does not appear, customer may supply 10 ft. sample of wire to determine if a custom calibration sling can be created (non-returnable). Consult factory for details.
