Buy Scale Indicators for digital readout & mass applied sale in South Africa

Description

Dual‑mode weighing for versatility: In standard mode, LS4 handles up to 2000 kg with 1 kg increments — ideal for adult cattle and heavier livestock.
Fine mode for lighter animals: For smaller livestock or accurate measures when weight is low, LS4 offers “fine mode” — up to around 300 kg with 0.1 kg (100 g) accuracy.
Stable and reliable under movement: Animals often shift or move — LS4 uses a stabilizing algorithm (with multiple filter settings) to eliminate spikes or fluctuations, giving you a stable, trustworthy weight reading.
Flexibility in installation: Load beams come in a range of lengths, 600 mm, 800 mm, or 1000 mm (please specify beam length required on order), letting you adapt the scale to different platforms: portable load‑bars, weigh platforms, crates, or chutes depending on your farm’s setup.
Portable and easy to transport: Because the LS4 system is modular (load beams + indicator), it can be transported in a double‑cab bakkie load bin — useful for farmers working across different sites.
Power flexibility: The digital indicator has a built-in rechargeable battery, and comes with both a 220 V mains charger and a 12 V DC (vehicle battery) option — giving you flexibility whether you’re in a farm shed or out in the field.
Herd management & basic statistics: LS4 doesn’t just show single-animal weight. It keeps track of number of animals weighed, total mass, average mass, maximum and minimum weights — ideal for herd management, weigh‑in consignments, feedlot checks, or batch sorting.

Accurate weight-based decisions: With accurate weight readings (even when animals are restless), you can confidently use weight data for sales, feed rations, medication dosing, or herd health checks.
Simplified herd tracking: The built-in statistical functions remove the need for manual calculations — lets you instantly know total weight, average per animal, or extremes within a batch.
Portability & flexibility: If you run multiple sites or move animals regularly, LS4’s modular design — portable beams + handheld readout — makes it a practical choice.
Cost‑effective and robust: Designed for South African farming conditions, LS4 scales are built tough, easy to install, and don’t need complex infrastructure to operate.
Upgradeable — and future proof: If you start small (just beams), you can add crates, platforms, clamping crates or even RFID tag readers (for more advanced herd tracking) over time.

LS4 is not certified for legal-for-trade use (i.e., not for commercial sale-by-weight transactions where legal metrology standards apply). It’s meant for farm and herd management, not for official trade compliance.
There is no PC interface on the standard LS4 indicator — data must be recorded manually unless you upgrade to a more advanced model (LS4 Wi-Fi with app).

Small to medium‑scale farms wanting a portable weigh solution.
Feedlots or stock buyers needing to batch-weigh animals and track herd weight data.
Farmers needing a durable system for South African conditions (dust, movement, rough handling).
Anyone wanting a simple but powerful tool for herd management, feed dosing or health tracking — without unnecessary bells and whistles.

Why Choose LS4 for Your Livestock Weighing Needs

Whether you’re a small-scale farmer, commercial feedlot, or stock buyer, LS4 gives you the precision you need to make informed livestock and herd decisions.

Key Features of the LS4 Standard Indicator & Scale

Dual‑mode weighing for versatility: In standard mode, LS4 handles up to 2000 kg with 1 kg increments — ideal for adult cattle and heavier livestock.

Fine mode for lighter animals: For smaller livestock or accurate measures when weight is low, LS4 offers “fine mode” — up to around 300 kg with 0.1 kg (100 g) accuracy.

Stable and reliable under movement: Animals often shift or move — LS4 uses a stabilizing algorithm (with multiple filter settings) to eliminate spikes or fluctuations, giving you a stable, trustworthy weight reading.

How Farmers & Stock Buyers Benefit from LS4

Accurate weight-based decisions: With accurate weight readings (even when animals are restless), you can confidently use weight data for sales, feed rations, medication dosing, or herd health checks.

Simplified herd tracking: The built-in statistical functions remove the need for manual calculations — lets you instantly know total weight, average per animal, or extremes within a batch.

Portability & flexibility: If you run multiple sites or move animals regularly, LS4’s modular design — portable beams + handheld readout — makes it a practical choice.

Considerations & What LS4 Doesn’t Do

LS4 is not certified for legal-for-trade use (i.e., not for commercial sale-by-weight transactions where legal metrology standards apply). It’s meant for farm and herd management, not for official trade compliance.

There is no PC interface on the standard LS4 indicator — data must be recorded manually unless you upgrade to a more advanced model (LS4 Wi-Fi with app).

For heavier-duty, permanent installations (e.g., crates, working crushes), correct mounting and foundations (level base, space for load‑bars) are important — load bars should not bear the weight of the platform or gates beyond their rated capacity

Is LS4 Right for You?

If you manage a herd (cattle, sheep, pigs) and want reliable, accurate, flexible weighing for farm decisions — without needing complex infrastructure or PC‑based systems — LS4 is an excellent investment. It’s particularly suited to:

Small to medium‑scale farms wanting a portable weigh solution.

Feedlots or stock buyers needing to batch-weigh animals and track herd weight data.

Farmers needing a durable system for South African conditions (dust, movement, rough handling).

Anyone wanting a simple but powerful tool for herd management, feed dosing or health tracking — without unnecessary bells and whistles.

However, if you require legal-for-trade certification, PC‑based data logging, or long-term automated data storage, you might consider more advanced systems than the basic LS4.
