Rugged Controls, LLC. products

Engineered to perform in the harshest outdoor marine environments, the RPC-80x Rugged Programmable Controller offers a ruggedized compact HMI combined with today’s latest processing technology. Noted for years of performance in extreme environments where viewability is critical, the RPC-80x RPC is set apart from other panel meters, HMIs and analog gauges, not only by its robust durability but its advanced control and datalogging capabilities.  Ideally suited for harsh applications from simple to advanced automatic control, versions of the controller are available preconfigured for common monitoring applications. Five fully-sealed pushbuttons within a heavy-duty 316 stainless steel front panel access an easy-to-follow English language menu for field calibration changes, I/O channel configuration, alarm settings, network settings, and screen layout - all intuitive and right at your fingertips.

We are proud to present our latest technology, designed to accommodate all types of cranes working in the construction, material handling, and offshore industry. The RPC-80x Crane SLI monitors key operational and safety parameters, provides alarms and shuts down the hoist at overload or unsafe conditions while recording cridical lift data. Featuring a bright electroluminescent (EL) display, the RPC-80x Crane Safe Load Indicator (SLI) provides viewability in all daylight or nighttime operations and unmatched ease of use. The RPC-80x construction defeats competing indicators with a stainless steel front panel, sealed tactile pushbuttons, and an IP67 rating. Delivered as a complete system with sensors to monitor load, angle, hook height, wind speed and more, or delivered as an OEM display part for a crane/hoist manufacturer, the RPC-80x is economical and robust solution for crane load monitoring applications.

Rugged Controls has partnered with Skookum Gold Standard Forgings to provide the highest quality, made in USA load shackles. Designed for marine, heavy lifting and extreme applications, the Smart Shackle range of load shackles feature an innovative 17-4 stainless steel pin, manufactured complete with anti-rotation plate and an optional loading centering bobbin. Customers who require instrumented shackles for line tension, heavy lifting,  construction and other monitoring applications can select from our list of stock and quick ship sensors. We stock 5/8” to 3” (3.5T to 117T capacity) Smart Shackles in cabled and wireless versions.
