Max Rope Diameter: 3/4" (20 mm)
The safest choice for the working Arborist. Manufactured in partnership with DMM, the WIB Wireless Impact Block has been designed to deliver the best performance in terms of alignment, resistance, and appeal. The aesthetic curves of the Impact Block combine 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 a handheld controller or logging via our INSIGHT software to tablet or laptop, it is easy to see why this is one of the most sought after products in the industry.
Two versions of the WIB are available:
- 2.4GHz Wireless version providing high-speed sampling of 50 Hz (up to 200Hz) for dynamic load monitoring applications and industry-leading wireless range of 1000 m or 3280 ft designed for connection to the SW-HHP Hand-Held Indicator or IMPACT software.
- Bluetooth output version designed for connection to any smartphone or tablet running our free HHP app on iOS or Android sampling at 3 Hz with transmission ranges of 100m or 328ft.
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.
