Livestock Scales Header


The Central City Scale livestock scale is available in four standard sizes:

8' X 10' (holds 8-10 head based on 1,000 lb. cattle)

8' X 16' (holds 12-15 head based on 1,000 lb. cattle)

8' X 20' (holds 18-22 head based on 1,000 lb. cattle)

3' X 8' (for individual animals)

Decks for the 8' X 10' and 8' X 16' are constructed of a 4" H-beam running the length of the scale and across the center.  We use 4" X 4" X 1/2" angle on ends.  A 4" channel is stood on end, running across for support.  Also used is a 1-1/2" X 1/8" strap to support the decking.  Base is 5", 9#/ft. channel turned upside down and runs the full length of the scale.  Weigh bars rest on this channel (as shown).  The deck is of 2" X 12"s, 8' wide.  The deck is 8-1/2" off the ground.  Chain links are attached on ends for easy loading.  Deck dimensions can be altered on customer request.

Rack is built by a gate manufacturer.  The side panels are 5'4" high.  End gate bows are 6'8" tall.  A solid panel runs from the floor up 20" high.  Racks are constructed of 14 gauge round tubing frame.  The 8" opening is standard.  Rack dimensions can be altered on request

 

 


Central City Scale also offers a full line of swine scales, specifically engineered for use in hog operations.

The Livestock Scales are available with the Model 640 indicator:

CHUTE SCALES

Chute scales from Central City Scale are designed to solve the kinds of everyday problems encountered in handling livestock. With three different styles of weigh bars to choose from, your manual or hydraulic squeeze chute can be converted into a working livestock scale. The installation can be tailored to your chute. With the four weigh bar scale, the bars are installed parallel to the chute to reduce weigh bar shock when the animal hits the headgate. Central City Scale chute scales operate under the most extreme weather conditions from -20 degrees to 140 degrees F. Compare that with the temperature range of most other scales.
