low-profile dual-ramp livestock platform scale for sheep
Product Overview This low-profile platform scale is intended for individual goat-farming-equipment/" target="_blank" class="keylink">sheep weighing in handling lanes, barns, and farm service areas. Ramped ends provide an approach from either direction, while a textured steel deck offers secure footing. The platform can also be specified for similarly sized goats or pigs, subject to the selected dimensions and weighing capacity. Images illustrate comparable equipment; the supplied configuration is confirmed with the project order.
Key Features
  • Low deck height and ramps at both ends support smooth entry and exit.
  • Textured steel weighing surface provides traction during animal handling.
  • Load-cell-based weighing with a separate digital indicator.
  • Compact layout suits sheep races, sorting points, and portable weighing stations.
  • Platform dimensions, surface finish, and indicator functions can be specified for the project.
Structural Components Steel platform frame, textured deck, two approach ramps, load cells, leveling supports, signal cable, and digital weight indicator. Handles, protective cable routing, or an animal restraint arrangement are available according to project requirements.
Working Principle The animal walks onto the platform from one ramp. Load cells beneath the deck convert the applied force into an electrical signal, which the indicator processes as a weight reading. After the reading is recorded, the animal can leave through the opposite ramp. The operator should follow the indicator's instructions for zeroing, motion handling, and calibration.
Technical Specifications
Platform size Customizable
Weighing capacity and display interval According to project requirements
Deck and frame finish Available upon request
Indicator and power supply According to project requirements
Installation environment Designed according to local climate and farm conditions
Applications Individual sheep weight checks, flock growth monitoring, breeding selection, veterinary handling, and pre-transport assessment. With an appropriate capacity and handling layout, the platform can also support goat or pig weighing in commercial livestock facilities.
Customization Options Platform length and width, rated capacity, deck finish, indicator position, cable length, and integration with existing handling gates are customizable. For pig farm construction or a steel structure building project, the scale location and traffic direction can be coordinated with the pen and alleyway layout.
Installation & Maintenance Place the platform on a firm, stable surface and adjust its supports so the deck does not rock. Keep both ramps clear, protect the indicator cable from hooves and washdown traffic, and check that the scale returns to zero before use. Remove bedding and manure buildup, inspect cables and load-cell areas, and verify calibration at the interval required by the farm's weighing procedure.
Product FAQ

Can the scale be used for pigs?
Yes, when the ordered platform dimensions, capacity, and handling arrangement suit the animals being weighed.

Does it require a recessed floor pit?
A low-profile surface installation is possible where the floor provides stable support and sufficient space for both ramps.

Can it be used for commercial transactions?
Legal-for-trade suitability depends on the selected configuration and local certification requirements; confirm these before ordering.
