What do we do?
A comprehensive service offering peace of mind for live events.
Load monitoring
By installing one of our load cells on every point of your rig you can continually monitor the weights as loads are increased or changed.
Our systems can come pre prepped and labelled so they are ready to go out of the box.
Cell setting can be changed to allow for dynamic load monitoring and to ensure you catch the relevant peak load data.
For shorted durations, use our wireless cell options, which can be installed in seconds. Or for longer durations our wired Motion Labs cells will provide the best long term solution.
Weight Report service
Independent, insurance backed report on the weight of your flown system.
In recent years, rigging incidents have become more frequent. One way to help protect yourself and your client or artist is to use our independent service.
The detail in our report is industry leading and records all relevant Load Cell serial number's to retrospectively prove calibration, point references and recorded weights. Most importantly a full itemised description of each independent structure allows for a rebuild and retest of the declared weights. Accurate weights help to prove your diligence and using a third party upholds the integrity of the process.
Equipment hire
Dry Hire, or installed systems for one off events and touring productions.
Our company has a combined 20 years experience in the live touring sector, so we design our cases and systems to make them road ready.
All of our equipment comes in bespoke cases appropriate for the application. Systems from 1 to 8 cells are available in Peli cases, suitable for courier transport.
Larger systems up to 250 cells come in Flight Cases suitable for touring applications.

What we do
Testimonials
We work with a wide range of professionals from the entertainment industry. Most of whom we work with on a repeat and regular basis.
Robert 'Hydro' Mullins
Production Manager
LCR provides the most comprehensive weight report available.
We head off on tour knowing our static and dynamic weights are accurate and that we have the back up of LCR should any weights need to be proven to third party's during the tour.
Using LCR protects everyone involved, why would you not use them?
Jake
Berry
Production Manager
I have used Load Cell Rental's weight report service to establish exact weights for elements of my tours rig.
Relying on calculations is no longer the best we can do.
Third party weight reports should become the norm and are best practice when it comes to accuracy.
Brian Levine
President, Projects TAIT
"LCR provides an incredibly valuable service to Productions, especially during the rehearsal periods where the Production is dealing with real world challenges of gear coming together for the first time and tweaks to the as-built.
LCR is able to focus, keep up, and provide a critical service to ensure loads are accurate and properly documented."
Bill Heinzlmeir
Head Rigger
“Load Cell Rental is the best company for load celling your show.
They come in and take over installing the cells, monitoring and recording the rig weights, all things that you don’t have time for at rehearsals.
The documentation is amazingly detailed. When you hand that over to an engineering team for an upcoming show it matters.
I would not do a tour without them”
