Dillon EDxtreme Digital Dynamometer

Product Overview: Dillon EDxtreme Digital Dynamometer

Dillon EDxtreme Digital Dynamometer, also known as the Dillon Load Cell.

Dillon EDxtreme Digital Dynamometer is a key tool in the public utility and tower erection industry.  Crews operate around high-tension cables, heavy loads, and elevated structures. The smallest error can lead to costly damage or serious injury.

That’s why you need equipment you can trust. Every time.

The Dillon EDXtreme Digital Dynamometer delivers the confidence contractors need on the job. Built for real-world punishment and engineered for exact measurement, it’s the go-to tool when the stakes are high.

Serious Strength. Proven Accuracy.

The EDXtreme isn’t just a digital scale—it’s a rugged, high-performance dynamometer designed for critical load monitoring.

• 5:1 safety factor* across all capacities

• Accuracy within 0.1% of full scale*

• Enhanced resolution mode: 1 part in 5000

• Weather-rated: NEMA 4X / IP55 for job site durability

From lifting pole sections to tensioning conductor lines, the EDXtreme handles the pressure.

Engineered for Tough Utility Environments

Tower sites and transmission corridors are rough on equipment. That’s why Dillon builds the EDXtreme to last.

• Heavy-duty models use aircraft-grade, powder-coated alloy steel

• Lighter capacities feature powder-coated aircraft aluminum

• Retained hardware keeps centering spacers in place—no more fumbling during high-load rigging

Built-in Intelligence. Field-Ready Control.

The EDXtreme adapts to your job—not the other way around. Its advanced features support complex rigging scenarios, system monitoring, and evolving load requirements.

• SOFTKEY interface simplifies setup—no complicated menus

• Custom unit support (lbf, kgf, Newtons, or user-defined)

• Backlit wide-angle LCD ensures clear readings in low light or full sun

• Runs on standard C-cell batteries with quick, tool-free access

Scalable, Upgradable, and Always Ready

Start with a basic model. As your projects grow, upgrade the same unit in the field.

• Remote monitoring (wired or 2.4GHz wireless)

• Multi-point load tracking from a single location

• Standard RS-232 output for data logging, analysis, or printing

Monitor stress points in real time, whether you’re balancing a multi-leg lift or tensioning guy wires across a long span.

Go Remote. Stay in Control.

Need to stay on the ground? Working across a large site? The optional Dillon Remote Communicator gives you full remote control and monitoring capabilities of up to 600 ft.

• Monitor multiple EDXtreme units at once

• Live load readings from every point in a multi-link array

• Total load calculations and individual readouts

• Spread-spectrum 2.4GHz wireless tech ensures strong, interference-resistant communication

You get safer operation, reduced climb time, and faster decision-making.
