Mobile Calf Pen Scale for Livestock Weighing

Product Showcase Content
Product Name MOBILE CALF PEN SCALE
Product Image Mobile Calf Pen Scale for Livestock Weighing
Product Overview The Mobile Calf Pen Scale is designed for weighing calves and other suitable livestock on dairy farms, beef cattle farms, breeding operations and veterinary facilities. The integrated weighing platform and enclosed pen help keep the animal correctly positioned while body weight is measured.

The standard configuration provides a 1-ton weighing capacity, reinforced square-tube enclosure, selectable digital indicator and four-wheel mobile structure. A side-mounted control lever allows the operator to open or close the gate without standing directly in front of the animal, supporting convenient routine weighing and handling.

Key Features
  • 1-Ton Capacity: Provides sufficient capacity for calves and other suitable livestock within the rated load.
  • Enclosed Weighing Pen: Reinforced side rails help keep the animal safely positioned on the weighing platform.
  • Animal Anti-Motion Weighing: Optional livestock indicator can stabilize fluctuating readings caused by normal animal movement.
  • Side Gate Control: A mechanical control lever allows the operator to open or close the gate from the side of the scale.
  • Reinforced Steel Structure: The enclosure uses 40 × 40 mm square tubing with approximately 1.5 mm wall thickness.
  • Durable Surface Treatment: Shot blasting and powder coating improve resistance to corrosion, rust and routine scratches.
  • Stable Load Sensing: Electronic load cells are selected for impact resistance, stability and livestock weighing applications.
  • Four-Wheel Mobility: Two fixed wheels and two swivel wheels allow convenient movement between cattle pens and service areas.
  • Customizable Configuration: Scale dimensions and weighing indicators can be selected according to cattle size and farm requirements.
Working Principle The calf is guided onto the weighing platform and contained within the surrounding pen. Load cells beneath the platform convert the applied animal weight into electrical signals, which are processed by the digital weighing indicator and displayed as body weight.

When an animal moves during weighing, the livestock anti-motion function can help stabilize the fluctuating signal and provide a practical weight reading. After weighing, the operator uses the side control lever to open the gate and release the animal from the pen.

  • Zero the indicator before each weighing session.
  • Guide calves calmly into the weighing pen and secure the gate before recording weight.
  • Use the side control lever carefully and verify that the gate closes securely.
  • Remove manure, bedding, mud and feed residues from the platform regularly.
  • Inspect wheels, gate hinges, control linkage, enclosure tubes and structural welds periodically.
  • Protect the weighing indicator, load-cell cables and electrical connections from direct high-pressure washing.
  • Check calibration periodically using known reference weights.
  • Do not exceed the rated 1-ton weighing capacity.
Product FAQ

Q: What is the maximum weighing capacity?
A: The standard calf scale has a rated capacity of 1 ton.

Q: What is the standard size?
A: The standard configuration is approximately 0.52 × 1.6 × 1.0 m, and customized dimensions are available.

Q: What type of enclosure is used?
A: The pen is constructed from 40 × 40 mm square tubing with approximately 1.5 mm wall thickness.

Q: Can it weigh a moving calf?
