Accurate/Western Scales supplies single ended bending beam load cells, uniball rod ends, clevises, and indicators for the customer to customize their hog scale system to any size that they require. As animals cannot be easily weighed on conventional scales, we also supply livestock and cattle scales that make the job unchallenging. Animal scale systems offer higher accuracy, convenience, and precision for weighing farm animals such as sheep, cattle, horses, and pigs. These scales are necessary for collecting data about your livestock’s health as their weight and health are interrelated. Livestock and cattle scales are used for monitoring pregnancies, calculating the quantity of livestock feed, administering the right dosage of medicine, analyzing weaning needs, and various other factors related to the health and nutrition of your animals.

At Accurate/Western Scale in Alberta, we carry livestock and cattle scales for weighing cattle, pigs, horses, sheep, and more. Our scale systems are durable and can withstand harsh environments. They help farmers increase their productivity as the collated data can be used to modify approaches such as feeding patterns.

Accurate/Western Scale Co. Ltd. offers both multi and single animal scale systems. We use animal scales originally patented by NORAC®, though their scale division has since been bought out by Rice Lake Weighing out of Rice Lake, Wisconsin. If you have more questions about our livestock scales, or if you’d like to get a quote, contact us today.

Rice Lake Farm Bar Universal Scale

Unmatched for accuracy and durability, this is the simple solution to animal weighing. The Farm Bar digital animal scales are heavy duty electronic load cell weigh scales, available in three capacities, and cover a variety of weighing applications. They mount under most cattle squeeze chutes, hogcrates, feed hoppers or custom platforms.

All Weather Use

The all-steel construction of the scale has been proven over 30 years of field use. Load cells are coated for permanent outdoor installation. There are no moving parts to wear out, and no costly maintenance. All of the scales provide years of trouble-free service.

Quick, Accurate Weights

Farm Bars provide a solid scale base by eliminating platform movement which could frighten livestock. This, in combination with the lock-on feature, guarantees an exact reading regardless of how lively the animal is.

Factory Calibration

Calibrating and balancing at the factory eliminates installation errors and the need for an installation technician. Install the scale, press the Zero button, and you’re ready to weigh. This also allows you to compensate for debris and mud or snow buildup. Rice Lake’s load cells—the heart of every system—are constructed of rugged steel with precision bearing components balanced and calibrated at the factory for years of worry-free performance. Each Farm Bar has built-in horizontal checking and unique flex bases to ensure accurate weights in the roughest conditions.

Portable Group Animal Scale

The Portable Group Animal Scale is Rice Lake’s latest livestock weighing innovation. This concept has taken Rice Lake’s popular animal scale and made it portable – improving the scale’s efficiency and versatility. Accurate weighing anywhere, anytime!

Durable Design

The Portable Group Animal Scale’s patented design consists of a rubberized deck and pen sides, suspended on load cells at four points within a portable base frame. When in transport mode, the cage is locked down to the base frame. This prevents cage movement and load cell damage during transport.

Easy to Use

Load is applied to or removed from the cells through a manual lift/lower lever system.

Rugged Versatility

Rice Lake’s onboard weighing design is ideally suited to the unpredictable conditions of multisite use. The Portable Group Animal Scale can of provide Legal-for-Trade weights in locations where the scale may be off level by as much as four degrees or six percent. In addition to the scale’s ability to meet the physical demands of remote weighing, the instrumentation package that complements the scale provides a complete report for each batch and lot of animals weighed. When the scale is in weigh mode, the deck is only six inches off the ground. The low profile of the rubberized weighing platform makes loading and unloading animals quick, easy and safe.

Legal-for-Trade

Rice Lake’s Portable Group Animal Scales are NTEP approved in the U.S., an approval that is generally accepted by most state agencies. It is also approved in Canada by Measurement Canada.

Features

The Portable Group Animal Scale includes a rubberized deck and a premium quality powder paint system. Also two standard gates, and a rubber T-belt on entry and exit are included.

Mobile Group Animal Scale

Reliable Animal Weighing in All Types of Environments

The Mobile Group Animal Scale is Rice Lake’s latest livestock scale innovation. This concept has taken Rice Lake’s popular animal scale and made it mobile – improving the scale’s efficiency and versatility.

Durable Design

The Mobile Group Animal Scale’s patented design consists of a rubberized deck and steel pen sides, suspended on load cells at four points within a mobile base frame. This base-frame also allows the scale to be towed behind a standard vehicle.

When in transport mode, the cage is locked down to the frame. This prevents cage movement and load cell damage during transport.

Easy to Use

The mobile scale employs an independent air ride suspension, which enables the scale to be moved in and out of weighing mode by simply adjusting the air pressure in the air bags. Load is applied to, or removed from, the cells through a manual lift/lower lever system.

Rugged Versatility

Rice Lake’s onboard weighing design is ideally suited to the unpredictable conditions of multisite use. The Mobile Group Animal Scale can provide Legal-for-Trade weights in locations where the scale may be off level by as much as four degrees.

In addition to the scale’s ability to meet the physical demands of remote weighing, the instrumentation package that complements the scale provides a complete report for each batch and lot of animals weighed. Results can be transferred to a memory stick and exported to a PC database or spreadsheet. When the scale is in weigh mode, the rubberized deck is only six inches off the ground. The low profile of the weighing platform makes loading and unloading animals quick, easy and safe.

Onboard Weigh Center

The weigh center is conveniently mounted on the exterior of the cage so that all transactions are easily viewed by the operator. A legal ticket can be printed for your records. The weatherproof enclosure protects the instrumentation and printer for years of trouble-free use. A USB port allows data to be exported to spreadsheet.
