Cattle crushes come in many different designs (platform or no platform) and varying sizes (width, gates, head bale etc). 

The 4 x AgriEid Heavy Duty, Height Adjustable Load Cells are made from solid stainless steel (IP67) with rubber non-slip pads that can be attached to any sized platform (timber / metal) or bolted under the cattle crush frame. (mounting brackets and spacers provided)

Connection of the 4 x Heavy Duty Load Cells to the Digital Weigh Indicator is simple - we provide detailed instructions (link below) and support to quickly get your livestock scales installed and operational in the yards.

Construction of an Aluminium Weigh Platform :

This is our recommended solution as the total weight is less than 35kg for a platform 2000mm x 700mm.  An Aluminium platform can be quickly built by your local fabrication / engineering company for about $800 including materials. Materials required are 50 x 50 x 5mm Angle (platform sides), 50mm RHS (centre rib support), 6mm aluminium plate and 15mm x 200mm x 60mm pads for the load cells (drilled and tapped). Take the measurements for the platform size you need along with a load cell, screws and brackets provided and they will be able to build you a light weight, low profile super strong platform in no time.

The kit is calibrated at the factory and pre-wired. If further calibration is required after installation it only takes only 5 minutes to complete.

The AgriEid Stainless Steel IP67 Cattle Scale Indicator has a "Livestock Hold" function with a selectable 3 or 5 second average weight calculation for superior accuracy.

Suitable for maximum capacity up to 4500 kg.

Construction of a Timber or Steel Platform.

A timber platform can be built if you do not have welding skills or access to a local engineering firm. We do recommend steel over timber construction as steel is more rigid and less likely to warp over time which can result in load cell errors. Please note a hard wood timber or steel platform will weigh 100kg + so they are heavy.

Attach to base of Crush frame : We provide 4 x threaded base plates with heavy duty bolts so you can attached the feet to the base of the cattle crush frame. The average cattle crush weighs 500-1000kg so this system has plenty of capacity for the crush to be used as a permanent platform. The maximum capacity for the 4 load cells when installed is 4500kg so even with a 1000kg crush there is still 3500 kg capacity for weighing animals.
