Why a Fold-Down Carcass Scale Is a Game Changer for Your Butchery or Abattoir

If you run a butchery, abattoir, game-processing facility or meat-retail operation, accurate carcass weighing isn’t optional — it’s essential. That’s where a fold-down carcass scale steps in. A fold-down scale gives you flexible, precise, and hygienic weighing of beef, pork, lamb, goat or game carcasses — helping you control cost per kilo, standardize portions, maintain hygiene, and streamline your operations.
