Hydraulic Load Cells

Reliable High-Tonnage Hydraulic Load Cells.

Buffalo Hydraulic offers a variety of accurate and reliable hydraulic load cells for use in measuring compressive forces, tension loads, and weighing applications. With compact dimensions, direct & remote mounted pressure gauges, and written certification options traceable to The Bureau of Weights & Measures, proving force and overall weight is very specific.  Using the highest quality pressure monitoring components, all load cells are manufactured to the most stringent industry standards. Our load cells can aid in measuring both static and tension loads to within (+/-) 1% accuracy of full scale from 1 – 1,500 tons capacity while providing measurements through analog and digital means.

In proving the weight of LC-39A & LC-39B at NASA’s Kennedy Space Center, our custom-designed weighing system was selected to prove and maintain a vertical lifting tolerance within 0.035″ over 21 points of lift.  Through both projects, the custom Buffalo Hydraulic weighing system maintained and digitally proved a lifting tolerance over all 21 jacking points of not more than 0.020″ while proving respective weights of 5,280,000 lbs. (LC-39A) and 5,340,000 lbs. (LC-39B).

Upon review, the mechanical engineering team at Guinness World Records has recognized this as “The Heaviest Object Ever Weighed”.
