Product Overview The 5-Calf Transport Box with Integrated Scales combines newborn calf transportation and group weighing in one heavy-duty livestock handling unit.

Designed for commercial dairy farms and calf-rearing centers, the stainless steel box can accommodate up to five newborn calves and can be handled by a wheel loader or forklift. An integrated weighing system allows operators to monitor livestock weight without transferring calves to a separate scale.

A wide sliding access door, perforated side panels and a stable anti-slip floor support efficient loading, animal observation and routine sanitation. The integrated digital weighing terminal provides convenient weight monitoring and data transfer for structured calf-management programs.
Key Features
  • Combines calf transportation and weighing in a single handling unit.
  • Designed for transporting up to five newborn calves depending on animal size.
  • Heavy-duty stainless steel construction for humid and corrosive livestock environments.
  • Integrated stainless steel weighing beams support on-farm weight monitoring.
  • Reference weighing capacity up to 2,500 kg.
  • LCD weighing terminal provides clear digital weight readings.
  • USB interface supports convenient transfer of recorded weighing data.
  • Automatic taring simplifies repeated weighing procedures.
  • Wide sliding door enables convenient, near-ground calf loading and unloading.
  • Perforated sidewalls maintain visibility and ventilation during transport.
  • Fork pockets or combined loader suspension and fork interfaces are available.
  • Removable sliding door and drainage-friendly construction simplify cleaning.
Structural Components
  • Stainless Steel Transport Box: Provides a durable enclosed structure for group calf handling and transportation.
  • Perforated Side Panels: Maintain airflow and allow operators to observe calves during transport.
  • Large Sliding Door: Provides wide access for loading and unloading animals.
  • Door Locking Pins: Secure the sliding door in open or closed position.
  • Integrated Weighing Beams: Stainless steel load-bearing components measure the combined transport-box load.
  • LCD Weight Indicator: Displays weighing information at operator eye level.
  • Stainless Steel Display Bracket: Protects and supports the weighing terminal on the box.
  • USB Interface: Supports transfer of weighing records to external data-management systems.
  • Loader / Forklift Interface: Allows handling with compatible wheel loaders or forklifts.
  • Anti-Slip Floor: Provides stable footing for young calves; floor configuration can be selected according to project requirements.
  • Drainage Openings: Help remove wash water during routine cleaning.
Working Principle The transport box is positioned close to the maternity area, calf pen or individual calf hutches. The large sliding door is opened and calves are guided or carefully transferred into the box through the low loading entrance.

Integrated weighing beams continuously support the box and livestock load. The digital weighing terminal converts the load-cell signal into a readable weight value, while automatic taring allows the operator to compensate for the empty box and other predefined loads.

After loading, the sliding door is secured and the box is lifted using a compatible wheel loader or forklift interface. The calves can then be transported to the calf-rearing area without an additional transfer to a separate trolley or weighing platform.

At the destination, the loader can position the transport box at a suitable unloading height before the sliding door is opened.

Installation & Maintenance
  • Confirm compatibility between the transport-box attachment and the farm's wheel loader or forklift before operation.
  • Verify that fork pockets, suspension points and locking components are fully engaged before lifting.
  • Check the weighing system and perform calibration according to the indicator manufacturer's instructions.
  • Use the tare function before routine calf weighing when required.
  • Inspect the sliding door and locking pins before every transport cycle.
  • Keep weighing beams, cables and electronic connections protected from impact and excessive contamination.
  • Remove manure, bedding and other organic material after each transport cycle where practical.
  • Wash and disinfect the stainless steel box according to the farm biosecurity program.
  • Ensure drainage openings remain clear during cleaning.
  • Inspect anti-slip flooring or rubber matting regularly for wear and damage.
  • Protect the digital display and USB connection during high-pressure washing.
  • Recalibrate the weighing system periodically or whenever measurement accuracy is in doubt.
