    Load Moment Indicator System......LSI-Robway?

    $12K for an LSI system seems pretty high. I would shop around a bit. A complete LSI system with load charts is $7936 here: http://bodetechnicalservices.com/trimble-lsi-gs-wireless-crane-system/

    Wired A2B to wireless

    To answer your question. It depends on if have and/or want to keep length indication. The cable does transmit the A2B signal but often also measures the boom length and angle. If you dont want/need either of those then you can do just a stand alone wireless A2B switch. Some options here...

    Just a thought about pricing parts

    Hmm that seems odd to us. We sell hundreds of thousands of dollars of crane parts every year and have never come across a manufacturer who does not want to sell parts. Its true that the serial number is usually needed because parts vary over the years and only with the serial number can you be...

    Krupp cranes

    In our experience the Krupps have been a really solid machine. However I would make sure the EKS system, especially if its one of the older EKS83 systems, is solid. We have seen a pretty decent upswing in repairs of those LMI systems and some parts can be really hard to find anymore. Take a...

    LSI Crane Instrumentation

    LSI is definitely great for after market and on smaller cranes like boom trucks. Rugged and really simple install. May be tougher on some larger machines that have the PAT-Hirschmann systems on them. But then again we've retrofitted a number of older cranes, especially some of the Krupp KMKs...

    who makes a good wireless a2b

    Agree with Kat09 LSI is definitely the way to go for ease and rugged construction. More info here http://www.lsiwireless.com/product/anti-two-block-display/ PAT - Hirschmann is OK, but you have to have a PRS40 or PRS80 in cab unit with it and that gets expensive.

    Grove RT63S rough terrain crane wiring diagram?

    Agree with Kneptune on the swivel ring, probably ok unless you have some reason (ie damage) to think otherwise. Depending on what schematics you need we may have them or can help out. Check these troubleshooting manuals for schematics to start...
