Product Overview

The Mobile Calf Pen Scale brings individual weighing closer to the animals. An enclosed weighing area helps keep a calf positioned on the platform while the indicator records its weight. The wheeled structure can be moved between calf pens, housing rows, and designated handling points, reducing the need to lead young animals to a fixed weighing station.

For livestock equipment projects, the scale can be specified alongside pen gates, handling passages, and steel structure building layouts. The final arrangement should match the available aisle width, floor conditions, animal size, and cleaning routine.

Key Features

• Mobile configuration for weighing calves in multiple farm locations.
• Enclosed pen and stable platform to support controlled, individual weighing.
• Digital weight indication for growth monitoring, selection, and transfer records.
• Wheeled frame and handling grips for convenient movement between work areas.
• Accessible platform and surfaces designed for routine inspection and cleaning.

Structural Components

A typical assembly comprises a weighing platform, side panels or rails, animal entry and exit restraints, a supporting frame, wheels and handles, load cells, a digital indicator, and protected electrical connections. Gate layout, panel design, and materials are selected according to project requirements.

Working Principle

The calf enters the pen and stands on the supported platform. Load cells convert the applied load into an electrical signal, which the indicator processes and displays as weight. The operator records the reading, opens the exit, and moves the scale to the next weighing location as needed. Animal-motion filtering and hold functions are available upon request, subject to the selected indicator.

Technical Specifications

Applications

Use the scale for calf growth checks, health and feeding assessments, pen transfers, breeding records, and weighing before sale. It is suited to dairy farms, beef calf operations, veterinary handling areas, and agricultural projects that require a movable individual-animal weighing point. Separate configurations may be considered for other appropriately sized livestock.

Customization Options

Pen size, gate direction, frame material, wheel configuration, indicator functions, and power options can be reviewed against the project layout. For integrated farm construction, the scale can be planned around existing passages and pen access. Final details are designed according to local climate and farm conditions.

Installation & Maintenance

Place the scale on a firm, level surface with enough clearance for safe animal entry and operator access. Before use, check that the platform moves freely, the indicator is zeroed, and the gates and wheels are secure. Remove bedding and manure after weighing, keep connectors protected during washing, and inspect the load cells, cables, fasteners, and calibration at the intervals specified for the supplied equipment.

Product FAQ

Can the scale be used at different calf pens?
Yes. Its mobile layout is intended for movement between suitable weighing locations, provided the route and floor conditions match the selected wheel configuration.

Can it connect to farm record systems?
Data output and integration options depend on the selected indicator and are available upon request.

Can the pen be sized for a particular farm?
Yes. Pen dimensions and access arrangements can be specified according to the calf size and site layout.
