Product Overview

The Portable Mechanical Market Hog Scale provides a practical station for checking individual pig weights in commercial grow-finish operations. A contained weighing area helps guide the animal onto the platform, while a mechanical indicator allows staff to read the weight without an electronic display. A movable configuration enables one scale to serve multiple pens or barn areas.

For pig farm construction and retrofit projects, the scale can be specified around the handling route, available floor space and target animal size. It can be incorporated into livestock equipment layouts alongside pen gates, sorting alleys and loading areas in concrete or steel structure buildings.

Key Features

• Mechanical weight indication for routine checks without a powered display.
• Enclosed platform to support controlled entry, weighing and exit.
• Portable frame option for moving the scale between weighing locations.
• Durable metal construction suited to repeated use in livestock facilities.
• Accessible weighing area and indicator for straightforward daily operation.
• Dimensions, finish and handling details can be reviewed against the farm layout.

Structural Components

• Weighing platform: Supports the pig during measurement.
• Side enclosure and gates: Define the animal passage and assist handling.
• Mechanical weighing assembly: Transfers platform load to the readable indicator.
• Frame and mobility components: Support placement and relocation according to the selected configuration.

Working Principle

The pig enters the enclosure and stands on the weighing platform. Its load is transmitted through the mechanical weighing assembly to the indicator. After the reading stabilizes, the operator records the weight and releases the animal through the handling route. The scale should be set on a firm, level surface and checked before each weighing session.

Technical Specifications

• Weighing method: Mechanical indication
• Animal category: Finishing and market pigs, subject to the selected capacity
• Rated capacity and graduation: Available upon request
• Overall and internal dimensions: According to project requirements
• Frame material and surface finish: Customizable
• Gate and wheel configuration: Available upon request

Applications

Suitable for routine growth monitoring, selecting pigs for market, checking weight groups before transfer and supporting farm records. The portable format is useful where several rooms share one weighing station or where fixed installation is impractical.

Customization Options

Capacity, enclosure dimensions, gate arrangement, mobility components and protective finish can be discussed for the intended herd and handling system. Layout and material choices are designed according to local climate and farm conditions.

Installation & Maintenance

Position the scale on stable, level flooring with clear entry and exit space. Confirm that the platform moves freely, the indicator returns to zero and gates operate safely before use. When relocating the unit, secure movable parts and follow the supplied handling instructions.

Remove manure and debris after use, inspect the frame and moving parts, and verify readings at intervals using an appropriate known load. Follow the approved cleaning and calibration instructions for the delivered model.

Product FAQ

Does the scale require electrical power?
The mechanical indicator does not require a powered display. Confirm the final configuration when ordering.

Can one scale serve multiple barns?
A portable configuration can be moved between suitable weighing locations, provided each position has firm, level flooring and safe animal access.

How is the correct capacity selected?
Select capacity and enclosure size according to the expected pig weight, animal dimensions and the farm's handling procedure.
