Abstract
A ruggedized packaging assembly for a linearly extending crane component measurement device includes an outer sleeve, an inner member slidably disposed in the outer sleeve, a target coupled to at least one of the outer sleeve and the inner sleeve, and a non-contact measurement instrument. Either the outer sleeve or the inner member is coupled to a linearly extending component, and the other part is coupled to a component from which a distance is being measured.
