Force Logic UK

What Force Logic UK does

Force Logic UK Ltd is a privately held UK precision manufacturer of load cells, load pins, and load measurement systems, founded in 2008 and operating from a single headquarters in Hook, Hampshire. The company's products are based on strain gauge technology, in which bonded strain gauges on spring elements convert mechanical force into measurable electrical signals. Its catalog spans tension link and shackle load cells under the LOAD-MASTER family (capacities from 1 tonne to 300 tonne), compression and S-beam load cells rated from 25 kg to over 1000 tonnes, custom-designed load pins that replace existing clevis pins on chain hoists, and a supporting instrumentation line that includes panel meters, indicators, wireless transmitters, amplifiers, and weigh modules. All manufacturing is performed in the UK within the scope of ISO 9001:2015 quality accreditation, and the company offers UKAS-traceable calibration referenced to ISO 17025 standards.

The company sells to industrial B2B customers across lifting and material handling, industrial weighing, testing and research, energy and power generation, automotive and aerospace, and construction. Revenue is generated through three streams: one-time product sales of standard and custom OEM load cells, usage-based equipment hire of LOAD-MASTER wireless load cells (1-100 tonne), and recurring UKAS-traceable calibration services. Go-to-market is sales-led and quote-based, with website-driven inquiries, direct phone and email contact, and presence at industry events and on LinkedIn, Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. The company claims a global customer base despite operating from a single UK site and having 1-10 employees, with no disclosed international offices, distributor network, or institutional investment.

Core offering

Force Logic UK is a UK-based precision manufacturer of load cells and load measurement systems, supplying load cells, load cell instrumentation, and custom-designed force measurement solutions to industrial customers worldwide. The company also offers hire of LOAD-MASTER wireless load cells (1–100 tonne) and UKAS-traceable calibration services. All products are manufactured in the UK within the scope of ISO 9001:2015 accreditation, with capacities spanning 1kg to over 1000 tonnes.

Product overview

Force Logic UK is a UK-based precision manufacturer of load cells and load measurement systems. Their product portfolio consists of two main categories: load measurement hardware (tension links, compression cells, S-beam cells, load pins) and load cell instrumentation (indicators, amplifiers, wireless transmitters). The LOAD-MASTER product family includes tension link load cells (LITE: 1-4.75 tonne, LM: 5-300 tonne, SLP shackles: 3.25-100 tonne) for hoist and crane applications. Load cell products span compression cells (DTC: 2-50 tonne, CDC: 0.5-10 tonne, CCL: 50-500 kN column type) and universal S-beam cells (FSB: 25kg-5000kg). Supporting instrumentation includes panel meters (H100, JNR, EXL, INT), displays (FUSION), amplifiers (A50, TLB), wireless transmitter (FMTX), and weigh modules (WMR). All products are manufactured in the UK within the scope of ISO 9001:2015 accreditation. The company also offers hire services for LOAD-MASTER wireless load cells (1-100 tonne) and calibration services with UKAS traceability.
