You probably want one in the 1000 to 3000 lbs capacity range. I have one of the electronic ones, purchased for a different need. I have used it to measure running rigging stress among other things. The electronic ones are interesting: a machined but solid aluminum frame has shackled attached to each end, and an electronic strain gage measures the distortion in the frame.
