Built for Stability in Livestock Weighing

Unlike industrial weigh beams, ABH weigh beams are developed specifically for livestock behavior:

  • Reinforced internal structure resists side loading
  • Designed to absorb shock and movement from animals
  • Sealed load cell housing prevents water and moisture ingress
  • Reliable performance during dynamic weighing conditions

This ensures consistent weight data you can trust for herd management and traceability.

System Compatibility & Integration

ABH weigh beams integrate seamlessly with:

  • Livestock weighing indicators
  • EID-enabled scale indicators
  • Alleyway and crush weighing systems
  • Fixed and portable weighing platforms

They can be supplied as part of a complete livestock weighing solution, including indicators, EID readers, and data management support.

FAQ

  • Is livestock load bars weather-resistant for outdoor use?

Yes, the powder-coated carbon steel provides good durability in farm environments. For high-humidity or coastal areas, hot dip galvanized ABT is also available.

  • Do livestock weighing beams require maintenance to maintain its accuracy?

Minimal. Just keep the bars clean and dry after use. Check cables for wear, and store indoors if unused for long periods. No frequent recalibration is needed thanks to the internal factory settings.

  • What are the advantages of weigh beams over traditional floor scales?

Weigh beams are more flexible, portable, and cost-effective. You can use them in various setups, under chutes, crates, platforms, and reposition them easily, which is ideal for livestock farming.
