Product Overview

The Sheep Alleyway Weighing Platform is designed for individual live-weight measurement within a sheep handling race. Its low-entry deck supports a natural walking path, while a traction surface helps sheep maintain footing. When installed over compatible load bars and connected to a weighing indicator, the platform becomes part of a practical system for flock management, growth monitoring, and pre-sale weighing.

The platform can be specified for portable yards or integrated into a permanent livestock handling layout. Project dimensions and the weighing package should be selected to suit the race width, animal size, site conditions, and required data workflow.

Key Features

• Low-profile entry and smooth deck edges support steady animal movement.
• Textured or rubber-covered walking surface provides traction and helps reduce hoof noise.
• Rigid platform structure transfers the animal load to the weighing components below.
• Suitable for temporary setups or installation within a fixed sheep race.
• Platform size, surface material, and compatible weighing components can be specified for the project.

Structural Components

• Weighing deck: A rigid walking platform sized to fit the handling alley.
• Traction surface: A secured mat or other suitable anti-slip finish.
• Support and mounting points: Connections for compatible load bars beneath the deck.
• Optional weighing package: Load bars, cabling, and a compatible digital indicator, as specified.

Working Principle

A sheep enters the race and stands fully on the platform. The deck transfers its weight to the load bars beneath it, which send a signal to the connected indicator. For a reliable reading, the platform should remain clear of surrounding rails and the animal should stand entirely on the deck during weighing.

Technical Specifications

Applications

Suitable for sheep farms, breeding operations, livestock markets, and agricultural projects that require individual weighing within a handling race. With appropriate dimensions and components, the platform concept can also be adapted to other livestock handling facilities, including commercial pig farm weighing areas.

Customization Options

Available options include platform width and length, deck material, traction surface, load bar arrangement, indicator selection, and integration with adjacent gates or race panels. Materials and installation details can be designed according to local climate and farm conditions.

Installation & Maintenance

Place the platform on a firm, level base and mount the selected load bars in accordance with their instructions. Check that the deck does not touch nearby steel structure building elements, race panels, or the ground in a way that bypasses the load bars. Route cables away from animal traffic and washdown areas. Regularly remove manure and debris, inspect the traction surface and fasteners, and verify weighing performance with the indicator supplier's recommended procedure.

Product FAQ

Does the platform include load bars and an indicator?
The supply scope is confirmed for each order. A platform alone requires compatible load bars and an indicator to form a working scale.

Can it be moved between handling sites?
A portable configuration is available upon request, subject to platform size and the selected weighing components.

Can it fit an existing sheep race?
Yes. Provide the clear race width, available length, ground conditions, and nearby gate details so the installation can be designed to suit the site.
