Broadweigh releases new safety tool for riggers and technicians

Broadweigh has launched the Wireless Hand-Held Display Standard (BW-HK-S), a new tool for riggers and technicians working in the world of live production. Fully compatible with Broadweigh’s wireless ecosystem, the BW-HK-S delivers instant, on-the-ground access to real-time load and environmental data - keeping crews connected to what matters most, when it matters most.

Designed with the challenges of arenas, festivals, and theatres in mind, the device can receive live data from up to twelve wireless load cells or anemometers at once. Housed in a rugged IP67-rated enclosure with a high-grip finish, it’s ready for the toughest working conditions.

Designed specifically for live production environments, the BW-HK-S features an integrated multi-sensory warning system. A flashing screen grabs attention when load thresholds are reached, a built-in alarm ensures warnings are heard even in noisy environments, and a vibration alert offers silent notification for operators working away from the display. With an extended wireless range of up to 800 metres and remote firmware updates, the unit is adaptable across a wide range of productions.

Whether handheld or mounted for permanent monitoring at a rigging control point, the BW-HK-S slots seamlessly into any Broadweigh setup. Its customisable interface keeps critical data front and centre, while hidden menus unlock advanced functionality when needed.

“The BW-HK-S isn’t just an upgrade - it’s a step-change in how teams manage safety and efficiency during live events”, says Matthew Youngs, Sales Manager at Broadweigh. “From rigging and lighting to sound and stage management, everyone benefits from having real-time data at their fingertips. It’s built for the pace and pressure of the job.”
