Product Showcase Content
Product Name Stationary Sheep Weigh Crate
Product Image stationary sheep weigh crate with entry and exit gates
Product Overview The Stationary Sheep Weigh Crate provides a controlled position for weighing one goat-farming-equipment/" target="_blank" class="keylink">sheep at a time in a fixed handling race. Its straight-through arrangement supports routine weight checks for lambs, ewes, and rams. It can be specified as part of a new livestock equipment installation or fitted into an existing sheep handling area, subject to site measurements.
Key Features
  • Single entry and single exit for an orderly animal flow.
  • Manual gate arrangement for controlled, individual handling.
  • Rigid frame designed to support repeatable weighing when correctly installed with compatible load bars.
  • Accessible floor and gate areas for routine cleaning and inspection.
  • Dimensions, surface finish, and weighing package available according to project requirements.
Structural Components The proposed configuration comprises a structural frame, entry gate, exit gate, animal standing floor, gate controls, and provision for a compatible weighing assembly. The final gate mechanism, side-panel design, mounting details, load bars, and indicator should be confirmed in the approved specification.
Working Principle A sheep enters from the handling race and is held briefly inside the crate. When the animal stands on the supported weighing floor, compatible load bars transmit a signal to the connected indicator. After the reading is recorded, the exit gate is opened and the next animal can enter. The standard straight-through layout is intended for weighing rather than automatic drafting.
Technical Specifications
Installation type Stationary; according to site layout
Animal flow Single entry, single exit
Frame dimensions and material Customizable
Surface finish Designed according to local climate and farm conditions
Load bars and indicator Compatible options available upon request
Capacity and accuracy Depend on the selected weighing components; available upon request
Applications Suitable for sheep farms, breeding operations, livestock markets, and agricultural projects that require individual live-weight records. In mixed-species farm construction projects, the crate should be specified for the sheep handling area; pig weighing requires equipment sized and designed for pigs.
Customization Options Frame size, gate direction, side-panel configuration, corrosion-protection finish, race connections, and load-bar mounting can be reviewed against the farm layout. Integration beside a steel structure building or within a covered livestock handling facility can be planned according to project requirements.
Installation & Maintenance Position the crate on a firm, level base and align its entry and exit with the handling race. Install and connect the weighing components according to their manufacturer's instructions, then check for unintended contact with surrounding rails that could affect readings. Regularly remove manure and debris, inspect gate movement and fasteners, and protect cables from animals and cleaning equipment.
Product FAQ

Does the crate include an indicator and load bars?
The supplied weighing package is confirmed in the quotation. Specify the required indicator and compatible load bars when ordering.

Can it be installed in an existing race?
Yes, subject to the available opening, floor condition, animal flow, and mounting layout.

Does it automatically sort sheep?
The straight-through configuration is for individual weighing. Drafting equipment should be specified separately if sorting is required.
