Product Overview

The Heavy-Duty Single Cattle Platform Scale is intended for weighing one animal at a time within a controlled handling route. A reinforced steel platform transfers the animal's weight to load cells connected to a digital indicator. The scale can be integrated with a cattle pen, race or chute according to the facility layout.

It supports routine weight checks for herd management, veterinary assessment and livestock movement. Platform dimensions, access arrangements and the indicator package can be planned for new livestock facilities or suitable retrofit projects.

Key Features

• Heavy-duty steel frame designed to support a stable single-animal weighing platform.
• Textured steel deck option to provide secure footing during animal entry and exit.
• Electronic load-cell weighing with a digital indicator for straightforward weight reading.
• Optional side rails, kick plates and swing or sliding gates to guide animal movement.
• Configurable platform and gate layout for cattle handling routes and existing facilities.
• Accessible deck and weighing components to support routine cleaning, inspection and service.

Structural Components

• Weighing deck: Steel platform with a surface selected for the handling environment.
• Support frame: Structural steel members beneath the deck.
• Load cells and supports: Electronic weighing elements positioned beneath the platform.
• Junction box and cable: Connections between the load cells and indicator.
• Animal-control equipment: Side rails, gates and kick plates where specified.
• Indicator: Digital weight display selected according to project requirements.

Working Principle

The animal enters the platform and stands within the weighing area. Its weight passes through the deck and support frame to the load cells. The load-cell signals are combined and sent to the indicator, which displays the measured weight after the reading stabilizes. Gates and rails, when included, help keep the animal positioned on the platform during weighing.

Technical Specifications

Final capacity, dimensions, accuracy, protection rating and any trade-use certification must be confirmed for the supplied configuration and destination market.

Applications

• Individual cattle weight monitoring at beef and dairy farms.
• Weighing points alongside livestock races, pens and handling chutes.
• Animal health checks, growth monitoring and movement preparation.
• Livestock equipment packages for agricultural construction projects.
• Suitable mixed-livestock facilities, including commercial pig farm applications when platform and animal-control dimensions are specified for the intended animals.

Customization Options

Available options may include platform size, deck surface, protective finish, gate type, side-rail arrangement, indicator position and interface with an existing handling route. Requirements for a steel structure building, washdown practices and local climate should be provided during project planning.

Installation & Maintenance

Place the scale on a firm, level support area with clear entry and exit paths. Allow space around the deck so it can move freely without touching adjacent flooring, rails or concrete. Route and protect the signal cable, connect the indicator, then complete setup and calibration before use. Check gate operation, remove manure and debris from around the platform, and inspect cables, supports and weighing performance regularly.

Product FAQ

Can the scale be installed in an existing cattle handling area?
Yes, subject to a site review of available space, floor condition, animal flow and the proposed gate arrangement.

Are gates included with every platform?
The platform and animal-control equipment should be specified together. Gates, rails and kick plates are selected according to project requirements.

Can it be used for commercial transactions?
Trade use depends on the certification of the complete supplied weighing system and the rules of the destination market. Confirm this requirement before ordering.
