Product Overview

The Portable Group Cattle Scale combines a livestock weighing platform, protective pen sides, entry and exit gates, load cells, and a digital indicator in a movable assembly. It supports batch weighing where a fixed scale is impractical, including cattle farms, collection yards, and agricultural project sites. The configuration can also be adapted for group weighing in commercial pig farm operations.

Key Features

• Enclosed weighing area helps guide and contain animals during each weighing cycle.
• Textured or rubberized deck options provide secure footing and simplify routine cleaning.
• Steel frame and pen structure are designed for repeated livestock handling and relocation.
• Digital indication supports clear reading of group weight; recording and printing options are available upon request.
• Portable construction allows the scale to serve multiple weighing locations, subject to site access and ground conditions.

Structural Components

The typical assembly includes a load-bearing base frame, weighing deck, side panels, entry and exit gates, load cells, junction box, cables, and weight indicator. Transport restraints, protective instrument housing, and power supply options can be specified according to project requirements.

Working Principle

Animals enter the enclosed platform through the entry gate. Once the group is contained and movement settles, the load cells convert the applied load into an electrical signal. The indicator displays the group weight. After the reading is recorded, the exit gate opens for the next batch. Transport restraints should be released before weighing and secured again before relocation where fitted.

Technical Specifications

Applications

Suitable for cattle farms, livestock collection and dispatch yards, breeding operations, and agricultural weighing projects. With appropriate platform dimensions and gate arrangements, it can also support batch weighing in pig farm construction and other livestock equipment projects.

Customization Options

Available options may include platform size, pen height, gate layout, deck surface, corrosion protection, indicator location, power supply, and data recording. Interfaces with adjacent handling pens or a steel structure building should be reviewed during project design.

Installation & Maintenance

Position the scale on a firm, stable surface with clear animal entry and exit paths. Set up the platform and gates, connect the indicator, and complete calibration and commissioning before use. Check transport restraints and load-cell clearances after every move. Regularly remove manure and debris, inspect cables and gate hardware, and verify weighing performance using the applicable local procedure.

Product FAQ

Can the scale weigh several cattle at once?
Yes. The platform and capacity should be selected for the intended group size and animal weight.

Can it be used for pigs?
Yes, when the pen dimensions, deck, and gates are configured for safe pig handling.

Is it approved for commercial transactions?
Approval depends on the supplied configuration and the destination market. Specify local certification requirements before ordering.
