Tips for better weighing
If building your own weigh platform, suggested measurements for a cattle platform are 24" wide x 7' long
•
(600 mm x 2200 mm). A small animal platform should be 24" wide x 4' long (600 mm x 1200 mm).
The load bars have a maximum weigh capacity of 3300 lb (1500 kg).
•
The weigh platform must be sturdy and flat.
•
Place load bars on a flat, even surface.
•
If the load bars move during weighing, bolt the load bar feet onto the ground.
