INSTALLATION OF LOADBARS
The loadbars and indicator are unique and cannot
necessarily be interchanged with another set, without
re-calibration.
A PLATFORM scale is a system where the entrance and
exit gates are not connected to the platform and therefore
not weighed.
A CRATE is a box type scale including entrance and exit
gates. The advantage of a crate scale is that when the
animal touches and pushes on the gates or sides of the
crate it has no effect on the reading, thus giving the most
accurate weight.
- Platforms and crates will require mounting holes to
suit the loadbars.
- The 'hoof' width (width on which the animal can
stand) of the platform/crate must be no wider than the
length of the loadbars.
- The loadbars should be mounted as near to the ends
of the platform/crate as practical.
1. Select a convenient position for the platform or crate.
A level concrete foundation or other firm surface is
essential. Note: For accurate weighing the
platform or crate must not make contact with any
part of the race.
2. Place the crate in the required position in the race.
Lift each end in turn and position the loadbars in
