ABT

ABT

Tubular structure, designed for extreme environments. ABT livestock weigh bar feature hot-dip galvanized material and fully enclosed structure ensure long-term durability against moisture, mud, corrosion and temperature fluctuations.

The ABT outdoor weighing load bars are purpose-designed for farmers, contractors and processors who need accurate weighing in wet, muddy or corrosive environments. With a fully enclosed tubular housing, stainless cable protection and options up to 5,000 kg capacity, ABT bars deliver dependable readings in coastal farms, open yards, mobile trailers and slaughterhouse settings.As a trusted livestock load bars manufacturer, we ensure each unit is engineered for durability, precision, and long-term reliability under the toughest agricultural conditions.

Why ABT is a sensible choice for outdoor use

  • Engineered for exposure: Hot-dip galvanized tubular housing and sealed construction resist corrosion, mud and temperature swings — so your load bars last longer in the elements.
  • Protected wiring: Stainless-steel spring cover over the cable prevents abrasion and rodent damage common on outdoor sites.
  • Practical lengths & capacities: Choose from 400 / 600 / 800 / 1000 mm lengths and 2,000–5,000 kg capacities to suit chutes, platforms and mobile weighing rigs.
  • Plug-and-weigh compatibility: Designed to work with most indicators — simple installation and fast commissioning reduce downtime.
  • Low maintenance, repeatable results: Robust build reduces service calls and gives consistent, repeatable readings under repeated load.

Application Scenarios

  • Coastal farms or high-humidity areas
  • Outdoor cattle or sheep handling in extreme weather
  • Slaughterhouse or animal processing facilities
  • Mobile weighing in rainy, muddy, or dusty conditions
  • Long-term installations in uncovered yards or feedlots
  • Cold storage weighing or hot-climate farming (desert, tropics)

Real-world benefits — what farmers tell us

  • Lower service costs: Protected cables and corrosion-resistant housing reduce repairs.
  • Faster throughput: Stable, repeatable weighings mean fewer re-weighs and less animal stress.
  • Flexible deployment: Works equally well in permanent yards or on seasonal mobile rigs.

FAQ

  • Is there any difference in accuracy between galvanized ABT and carbon steel ABH?

No. Both models have the same accuracy and weighing performance. The key difference is in durability and environmental resistance.

  • What does the stainless steel spring cover on the cable do?

The livestock weigh bar cable is shielded with a durable stainless steel spring cover to minimize wear and tear from animals or rough terrain.

  • Are ABT load bars suitable for coastal farms?

Yes. The hot-dip galvanized tubular housing and sealed design are chosen specifically to resist salt spray and high-humidity corrosion.

  • Do I need to recalibrate my indicator after installing ABT bars?

In most cases ABT load bars are factory-matched to standard indicator inputs and do not require a full recalibration. We recommend a verification check with a known weight after installation.

  • Can these be used on mobile trailers?

Absolutely. The ABT design is compact and robust for trailer or portable platform weighing. Use the optional fixing holes or a secure clamp system for transport.

Cattle, sheep, pig, goat…

“We installed the ABT load bars under our outdoor crush, and they’ve handled rain, mud, and constant washdowns without a single fault. The readings are always steady — really impressed with the build quality.”— Beef Producer, Australia
“Our farm is close to the sea, so corrosion is always an issue. The hot-dip galvanized finish on the ABT bars still looks new after a full season. Definitely worth the investment.”— Dairy Farmer, Chile
“We use ABT bars on a portable platform for sheep weighing. Lightweight, accurate, and easy to move around. They connect straight to our HiRancher indicator without any setup hassle.”— Sheep Farm Owner, New Zealand
