First Fold Up Scale

First Fold Up Scale HOG EQUIPMENT & IDEAS Hog Equipment & Ideas (351) 10-3-32 First on the market with a fold-up scale to save valuable storage space ù and to keep alleys open and unobstructed ù is Ostee Corp. When not in use, it folds up against a wall or partition, taking up only 6 in. of space. When in use, the hinged floor folds out and rests 1 in. above floor level, making it easy to move individual animals ù or carts containing small pigs or feed ù onto it for fast, accurate weighing. The scale's frame attaches via mounting brackets and extends out 3¢ in. from the wall. With the hinged platform folded up against it, the entire unit takes up only 6 in. of alley space. It's easily carried through narrow gates and doors from one station to another. Standard platform size is 20 by 49 in. for a 300 lb. capacity model and 24 by 60 for a 500 lb. model. A dial scale is standard, with a digital readout option also available. Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Ostee Corp., P.O. Box 188, Sylvan Grove, Kan. 67481 (ph 913 526-7111).
