WEIGHING & RECORDING EQUIPMENT

Modern and Efficient husbandry calls for animal

management solutions that replace guesswork or hit and miss paper records with accurate, reliable digital information. These solutions are becoming increasingly vital for profitability and sustainability.

Weighing has always been the most cost-effective way of recording performance and maximizing on-

farm efficiency and profitability. Finished cattle and sheep need to be selected at their optimum grade (weight) and breeding stock needs to be

managed against strict performance parameters.

Our range of solutions for tracking, weighing & recording put this information at your fingertips

and let you make decisions based on facts and au-tomated weight checking of livestock.

With a 5000 kg capacity the HD load bars are especially suited for use under small to medium size cattle crushes. Their industrial strength construction makes them the load bar of choice for cattle operations where there are severe loadings and high usage rates. The foot assem-bly design is unique to Tru-Test HD series load bars and sets them apart from the rest. The foot assembly utilises a special load-centering cup to absorb the tremendous side loads generated by large animals running into the ends of crates and crushes, without damaging the load sens-ing cells. Weight Capacity 5000 kg
