Four-Door Sheep Sorting Scale

• 500 kg Capacity: Suitable for finishing sheep, breeding sheep and other small livestock within the rated load.
• Four-Door Sorting Design: Multiple gates allow animals to be directed toward different handling or grouping areas after weighing.
• Track-Mounted Sliding Gates: Sliding movement reduces the clearance required compared with conventional swing gates.
• Compact Cage Size: Standard dimensions of approximately 0.6 × 1.2 × 1 m suit small and medium sheep farms.
• Reinforced Square-Tube Fence: 30 × 30 mm carbon-steel tubing with approximately 1.5 mm wall thickness provides a strong livestock enclosure.
• Shot-Blasted & Powder-Coated Finish: Improves resistance to corrosion, rust and surface scratching.
• Mobile Wheel System: Two directional wheels and two swivel wheels make relocation between weighing areas easier.
• Hand-Cranked Wheel Lift: Wheels can be raised or lowered to switch between mobile and stable weighing configurations.
• Customizable Configuration: Cage dimensions and weighing configuration can be adapted to farm layout and livestock requirements.

• Position the scale on a firm, flat and level surface before weighing.
• Lower the mobile wheel mechanism so the scale is supported securely during weighing.
• Check that all sliding gates move smoothly along their guide tracks before use.
• Confirm that the weighing indicator displays zero before each animal enters the cage.
• Guide sheep calmly into the weighing area to reduce stress and excessive movement.
• Keep the animal fully inside the cage until a stable weight reading is obtained.
• Open the required sorting gate only after weighing is complete.
• Remove manure, mud, wool and feed residue from the platform and gate tracks regularly.
• Inspect guide rollers, sliding gates, wheel mechanisms, fasteners and structural welds periodically.
• Protect weighing electronics and connectors from direct high-pressure water jets unless specifically rated for washdown.
• Verify weighing accuracy periodically and recalibrate when required.

Q: What is the standard weighing capacity?
A: The listed rated capacity is 500 kg.

Q: What is the standard size?
A: The standard listed size is approximately 0.6 × 1.2 × 1 m, and customized dimensions are available.

Q: Why does the scale have four doors?
A: The four-door structure allows sheep to be directed toward different handling or sorting areas after weighing.

Q: What advantage do sliding gates provide?
A: Track-mounted sliding gates require less side clearance than conventional swing gates and are suitable for compact handling areas.

Q: Can the scale be moved?
A: Yes. It is equipped with two directional wheels, two swivel wheels and a hand-cranked wheel-lifting mechanism.

Q: Can sheep be sorted by weight?
A: Yes. After the weight is measured, the operator can manually direct the animal through the appropriate gate according to the farm's selected weight groups.

Q: Is the cage corrosion resistant?
A: The carbon-steel scale body and fence are shot blasted and powder coated to improve corrosion, rust and scratch resistance.

Q: Can the dimensions or weighing configuration be customized?
A: Yes. Cage dimensions and related weighing configurations can be customized according to flock size, handling layout and project requirements.
