TIL that new wireless load indicator on the Grove we rented for the Denver job is way more accurate than I thought it would be.
I was sure it would glitch with all the steel around, but after watching it hold steady for a 12-ton pick over 150 feet, I'm starting to think my old wired rig might be the one getting replaced. Has anyone else made the switch and had a good experience with a specific brand?

Switched our whole crew over to the wireless Pro-Lift indicators last year. Had the same worry about signal drop in a cluttered yard. Watched one sit on a beam for three days in the rain during a bridge job, never lost the reading once. My guys won't even touch the old wired ones now. The battery life is what really sold me.

We had that exact fear with signal loss on our last site. Our yard was packed with metal containers and gear, the kind of place that usually kills a wireless connection. Put a sensor on the crane hook for a week of steel work, and it never missed a beat. That kind of reliability changes how you plan the whole job.
