Kit Load Cells That Go Directly from Box to Trench
When a retaining wall monitoring job lands on your desk, you don't want to spend hours matching load cells with mounting plates and cables. That's why so many field teams keep a kit load cell set handy. Kingmach offers these bundled load cell kits not as an afterthought, but as a practical answer to common site logistics. Everything arrives in one crate — the sensor, mounting hardware, and the right cable length — so you can bolt it on, wire it up, and get readings before lunch. We've seen projects where missing a single bolt delayed installation for three days. That's the kind of headache these kits are designed to prevent. They also fit into larger monitoring plans: bridge tie-back loads, tunnel convergence props, or temporary excavation bracing. When you don't have time to source parts from multiple catalogs, a kit simplifies the whole process. And if your project needs a custom range or a different connector, we can swap components before shipping.
Technical Detail
The kit load cell assemblies from Kingmach come with the essentials field crews actually need. The sensors themselves use bonded foil strain gauges, sealed inside stainless steel bodies rated IP67 or IP68 depending on the model. Standard output is 2 mV/V, which works with most dataloggers from Campbell Scientific, Geokon, and similar brands. If your system prefers RS-485 or 4-20 mA, that's a common customization — just ask. Each kit ships with a calibration sheet traceable to national standards. Mounting plates are included, plus a strain relief cable whip long enough to reach the nearest terminal box. For temporary bracing on deep excavations, the quick-install design saves hours compared to assembling components from different suppliers. And when the project budget calls for mid-range pricing without cutting corners on long-term drift, these kits fill that gap well. Kingmach's global distribution network and technical support team can advise on proper sizing, even for unusual structural schemes. Custom cable lengths, alternative thread forms, or special mounting brackets are all in scope.

We cover a range from small to large, typically from 100 kN to 5,000 kN, but bespoke ranges are possible. Tell us your expected maximum load, and we'll recommend a sensor with enough overhead to avoid overstrain.
Yes, the standard analog output can connect to most wireless nodes. If you need digital output like RS-485, we can build that into the sensor. Just specify it when ordering.
Mounting plates in the kit are machined to fit commonly used strut end plates. Bolt the cell in line with the strut axis, and make sure the load is centered. The kit includes shims to help with alignment on uneven surfaces.
Under stable temperature, drift is typically less than 0.5% full scale per year. We recommend annual recalibration for critical applications, but for short-term monitoring, the initial factory calibration usually holds fine.
Of course. We often package multiple cells with a junction box and a common connector for multi-point tests. Just let us know how many channels you need.
