Product Overview The Dial Type Hanging Poultry Scale provides a straightforward way to check individual bird weights during routine flock sampling. A bird weighing sling or other suitable holder is suspended from the lower hook, while the upper hanging point supports the scale. Its mechanical dial gives an immediate reading without batteries or a data connection. The portable format suits weighing stations in broiler, layer, and breeder houses.
Key Features
  • Easy-to-read analogue dial for manual spot checks.
  • Mechanical operation with no external power requirement.
  • Compact hanging arrangement that occupies little floor space.
  • Zero or tare adjustment, where specified, to account for the weighing sling.
  • Portable for use at multiple sampling points across a poultry farm.
Structural Components The typical assembly comprises a protective scale housing, graduated dial, pointer, internal mechanical weighing element, upper hanging point, and lower load hook. A suitable poultry sling or holder can be selected for the intended bird size and handling procedure. Housing, hook, and cover materials depend on the confirmed configuration.
Working Principle / Structural Principle The bird and holder apply a vertical load to the lower hook. The internal mechanical element transfers this load to the pointer, which indicates weight on the calibrated dial. Set the pointer to zero with the empty holder attached, if the selected model provides a suitable tare range. Wait until the bird is steady before recording the reading.
Technical Specifications
  • Scale type: Mechanical hanging scale with analogue dial.
  • Weighing capacity and graduation: Available upon request; select according to bird weight and required reading interval.
  • Dial units: According to project requirements.
  • Housing and hook materials: According to the confirmed model and farm conditions.
  • Zero or tare range, accuracy, and dimensions: To be confirmed in the approved product specification.
  • Bird holder: Sling or compatible weighing accessory, subject to configuration.
Applications Manual weight sampling of broilers, pullets, layers, and breeder birds; checking flock growth against target weights; and weighing individual birds during farm inspections. It can serve as a portable tool within livestock equipment packages for commercial poultry houses and agricultural projects. It does not automatically collect or transmit flock data.
Customization Options Capacity, dial units, graduation, hook arrangement, and compatible bird holder can be discussed according to project requirements. For a new poultry house or steel structure building, the suspension location and operating height can be planned around the sampling workflow. Final options are subject to model availability and technical confirmation.
Installation & Maintenance Hang the scale vertically from a secure, load-rated support with enough clearance for the bird and holder. Do not attach it to an unverified poultry house fitting or lightweight building member. Check the zero position before each weighing session, avoid shock loading or loads above the rated capacity, and clean and dry the exterior after use. Inspect the hooks and arrange calibration checks according to the farm's weighing procedure.
Project Cases Typical project configurations include a portable sampling station in a broiler house and a dedicated manual weighing point for breeder flock checks. The scale capacity, bird holder, suspension support, and sampling procedure should be selected for each site. Project-specific references are available upon request.
Product FAQ

Does the scale need electricity?
No. The analogue weighing mechanism operates mechanically.

Can the weight of a bird sling be excluded?
A model with adequate zero or tare adjustment can account for the empty holder. Confirm the holder weight and adjustment range before ordering.

Can readings be exported?
No. This dial model is intended for visual reading and manual recording. Ask about a digital poultry scale if electronic records are required.

Which capacity should we choose?
Provide the bird type, expected maximum weight, holder weight, and desired graduation so the appropriate configuration can be confirmed.
