Livestock Scale Weigh Bars

Product Showcase Content
Product Name Livestock Scale Weigh Bars
Product Image livestock scale weigh bars for farm platforms
Product Overview Livestock scale weigh bars are paired load-bearing assemblies installed beneath a weighing platform, pig crate or livestock handling structure. They convert the load applied by an animal and the equipment above it into an electrical signal for a compatible weight indicator. Their compact layout helps farms add weighing capability to suitable existing structures or incorporate it into new pig farm construction projects.
Key Features
  • Paired-bar configuration supports platforms and crates at two mounting positions.
  • Suitable for routine animal weighing, growth monitoring and handling-yard operations.
  • Protective steel housing and cable routing options can be specified for demanding farm conditions.
  • Designed for integration with compatible indicators and livestock scale equipment.
  • Bar length, mounting arrangement and capacity can be matched to the supported structure.
Structural Components A typical system includes two steel weigh-bar housings, internal load-sensing elements, upper and lower mounting points, protected signal cables and connections to a compatible indicator. The final component arrangement depends on the selected platform or crate design.
Working Principle Weight from the crate or platform passes through the two bars to their load-sensing elements. The resulting electrical signals are processed by the indicator to display weight. Correct alignment, stable support and calibration of the complete installation are essential for reliable readings.
Technical Specifications
  • Configuration: paired weigh bars
  • Rated capacity: according to project requirements
  • Bar length and mounting dimensions: customizable
  • Housing finish and corrosion protection: available upon request
  • Cable length, connector and indicator compatibility: to be confirmed before ordering
  • Environmental protection and operating conditions: designed according to local climate and farm conditions
Applications Commercial pig farm weighing crates, hog handling stations, livestock platforms, cattle handling equipment and selected feed or material weighing structures. The supporting frame and bar capacity must be checked for each application.
Customization Options SHEWUYOU can discuss bar length, load capacity, mounting-hole layout, cable routing, connector type and indicator integration according to project requirements. Share the crate or platform dimensions, empty equipment weight, maximum live load and installation drawings for selection.
Installation & Maintenance Install the bars beneath a rigid crate or platform on a level, stable base. Position and fasten them according to the approved mounting drawing, allowing the structure to transfer its load through the bars without unintended contact or binding. Protect cables from animals, washdown traffic and sharp steel edges. After installation, connect the indicator and calibrate the complete scale; inspect fasteners, cables and mounting points regularly.
Product FAQ

Can the bars be fitted beneath an existing pig crate?
Often, provided its frame, mounting points and foundation are suitable. Dimensions and load paths should be reviewed before selection.

Is a weight indicator included?
The supply configuration is available upon request. Confirm the indicator, cables and connectors required for your project.

How is the correct capacity selected?
Consider the combined weight of the empty structure, animals and any expected dynamic loading. Final capacity should be confirmed against the proposed installation.
