Product Overview

The Mobile Pig Crate Weighing Platform Scale provides a practical way to check the combined weight of a transport crate and its piglets. Operators position the scale on a suitable level surface, move or place the crate onto the deck, and subtract the empty crate weight to obtain the livestock weight. The portable format suits commercial pig farms that need weighing at different barns or handling points.

Key Features

• Low-profile platform supports convenient loading of suitable pig transport crates.
• Non-slip deck helps keep crates stable during weighing.
• Mobile construction allows the unit to be repositioned as farm workflows change.
• Digital indication and tare function support clear net-weight readings.
• Optional access ramps can be specified for wheeled crates and trolleys.
• Accessible platform surfaces simplify routine cleaning in livestock facilities.

Structural Components

A typical configuration includes a reinforced weighing deck, supporting frame, load cells, protected signal cabling and a digital weighing indicator. Handles, transport wheels and loading ramps can be selected according to the crate type and movement route. Final material and component choices are confirmed for each project.

Working Principle

When the crate rests fully on the platform, load cells convert the applied load into electrical signals. The indicator processes these signals and displays the weight. After the empty crate is tared, the displayed result represents the net load, subject to the selected weighing procedure and indicator configuration.

Technical Specifications

Applications

Suitable for piglet crate weight checks, transfer records, batch monitoring and dispatch preparation. With an appropriate platform size and capacity, the same livestock equipment can also serve selected farm crate or trolley weighing tasks. The scale can be incorporated into new pig farm construction projects or used within existing steel structure buildings.

Customization Options

Deck size, rated capacity, indicator functions, power arrangement, ramp layout and frame material can be reviewed against the farm's crate dimensions, aisle width, cleaning practices and operating conditions. Configuration is designed according to local climate and farm conditions.

Installation & Maintenance

Place the scale on a firm, level surface with enough clearance for the crate and operator. Connect and position the indicator according to the supplied instructions, then check zero and perform the required calibration before use. Keep the deck free of accumulated debris, inspect cables and load-cell areas, and verify weighing performance at the intervals required by the farm's quality procedures.

Product FAQ

Can the scale display the weight of the piglets without the crate?
Yes. Weigh or enter the empty crate weight using the configured tare function before recording the net load.

Can a wheeled crate be moved onto the platform?
An access ramp may be specified if the crate, wheel arrangement and selected platform capacity are compatible.

Is a fixed foundation required?
A typical mobile platform is placed on a suitable level surface. The final installation method depends on the selected model and site conditions.
