5. What is the weight and size of FOX?
FOX weighs 1.78 kg and measures 276 × 230 × 75 mm. It comes with a mounting bracket for crush rails, fence posts or alleyway structures.
Cost-effective multifunctional farm weighing indicator with IP67 protection and durable PBT housing to handle moisture, dust and daily wear and tear in livestock environments. With advanced functions and dual RS232, it works seamlessly with load bars and platforms, offering a budget-friendly alternative to high-end livestock indicators.
Yes. The K7 indicator is designed with IP67 protection, making it suitable for livestock environments where equipment may be exposed to rain, mud, and regular cleaning procedures. However, like most electronic equipment, it is recommended to avoid unnecessary long-term water immersion and to install the indicator in an appropriate location whenever possible.
The K7 indicator can be used with load bars, alleyway scales, and cattle chutes. Because farms and dealers often use different weighing setups, compatibility with multiple applications provides greater installation flexibility.
The K7 features a high-brightness LED display. The clear display makes it easier for operators to read weight information during daily weighing and processing.
Yes, calibration is required for initial connection and use. Proper calibration helps ensure accurate weighing performance and reliable measurements. Regular calibration is recommended as part of routine equipment maintenance.
Yes. Some farms install the indicator permanently as part of a dedicated weighing system, while others move the indicator between different weighing locations when needed.
A Smart Data Collection Hub for Livestock Weighing and Traceability
FOX PRO is more than a weighing indicator device. It is a livestock weighing indicator with EID designed to collect, connect, and manage animal data in real farm environments.
By combining weight measurement and electronic identification, FOX PRO enables farms, integrators, and distributors to build reliable data-driven livestock management systems.
Traditional weighing only provides numbers.
FOX PRO transforms weighing into actionable data.With automatic linking of animal ID + weight, you can:
▶ FOX PRO turns weighing into a continuous data collection process, not a one-time measurement.
FOX PRO supports modern livestock traceability by capturing and organizing key data points:
This enables:
👉 Suitable for operations requiring traceable, verifiable livestock data.
FOX PRO acts as the central data unit in your livestock weighing setup: Load Bars / Weigh Beams → FOX PRO Indicator → Data Storage / Export
It connects:
▶ One device, one workflow, fully integrated.
▶ Full specifications available in downloadable datasheet.
Accurately capture livestock weight for growth monitoring and performance analysis.
Connect with EID stick readers to automatically identify animals and link weight data to tag numbers.
▶ Designed for fast, clear operation in working environments.
Store weighing records for future analysis and management.
Supports:
Capture ID + weight simultaneously for audit trails, export documentation, and inspection records.
Automate weight recording to analyze growth rates and feeding efficiency.
Quick identification and instant access to animal weight data.
Fast weighing and ID capture reduce waiting time and animal stress.
Accurate, time-stamped data supports selection and breeding decisions.
FOX PRO is designed to integrate with standard livestock weighing systems:
▶ Compatibility is verified before shipment to ensure smooth integration.
Its structure and interface are optimized for practical farm workflows, not laboratory conditions.
▶ Designed for long-term supply and system integration projects.
Fox Pro is suitable for farms and dealers that require more advanced weighing display functions. It is ideal for situations where animal identification, data collection, and communication with external devices can be integrated into routine livestock management activities.
The Type-C charging port reduces the need to carry a dedicated charger. This is especially useful for livestock farming, where equipment often needs to be moved between different operating locations.
The FOX PRO uses a standard 5-pin M12 aviation connector, compatible with most major brands, including G*allagher and T*ru-Test, requiring no calibration. If you have an older load bar with a different connector type, contact us with your model number and we will confirm compatibility before shipment.
FOX PRO stores up to 3,000 individual weight records. For a herd of 500 cattle weighed weekly, this is over 2 years of data without needing to export. Records include animal ID (EID), weight, date, group number, and previous weight for comparison.
There are three ways: (1) USB: insert directly and export as an Excel-readable CSV file. (2) Bluetooth: Pair with mobile phone/tablet. (3) RS232: Connect to the farm computer or printer. USB is the simplest and recommended method for most users.
The FOX PRO works with the HiTAG EID stick card reader, which can read HDX and FDX-B protocols (ISO 11784/11785). All Australian NLIS-certified cattle ear tags use the HDX protocol. Weight and EID data will be stored together and exported in CSV format for uploading to the NLIS database.
If you are upgrading from basic weighing to data-driven livestock management, FOX PRO provides a practical and scalable solution.

FOX is a purpose-built livestock weighing indicator designed for real farm work: weatherproof housing, long battery life, simple operation and wide load-bar compatibility — so you can weigh animals quickly and reliably. Made by HiRancher, a specialist manufacturer of livestock weighing systems.
Yes, the FOX has IP67 protection, is completely dustproof, and can be submerged in 1 meter of water for 30 minutes. The housing is made of impact-resistant ABS plastic, which can withstand everyday farm use.
For sheep, it is used in sheep pen systems and cage scales. For pigs, it can be used with platform scales in pigsties.
FOX has a rechargeable battery with approximately 30 hours of continuous use. For 24-hour weighing operations on remote ranches without power, the battery life is sufficient to meet the needs of a standard workday.
The RS232 interface allows the indicator to be directly connected to a computer or printer to transmit data.
FOX weighs 1.78 kg and measures 276 × 230 × 75 mm. It comes with a mounting bracket for crush rails, fence posts or alleyway structures.
