Multipurpose (Mp) Load Bars - Tru-Test MP Serie Mode D'emploi

Multipurpose (MP) load bars

These load bars are designed for a variety of applications where side loads will not occur, for example, with
platforms, small animal crates or wool presses. They are portable and can be easily transported from site to site.
For installation of load bars under platforms or small crates, see Installing MP load bars on page 5.
This manual also covers EC load bars, the economy version of MP load bars. All instructions for MP load bars are
applicable to EC load bars.
MP series load bars can also be used under cattle crates, crushes or squeeze chutes if special installation
procedures are followed. See Chaining (cattle crate, crush or squeeze chute) on page 7.
The MP series load bars can be used as single load bars. This offers the advantage of a finer resolution (weight
increments), and is useful for fleece or new born calf weighing. See Single MP series load bars on page 9.
For the best possible performance from your load bars, see Care and maintenance on page 10.
Load bar options
Platform
The animal stands on a platform. The entrance and exit gates are not connected to the platform and therefore
are not weighed.
Small animal crate
A small animal crate has attached entrance and exit gates, and the whole crate can be mounted onto the load
bars. Pigs, sheep, calves or goats can be contained in the small crate.
Wool press
A wool press is a device for pressing wool into bales.
Cattle crate, crush or squeeze chute
A cattle crate, crush or squeeze chute includes entrance and exit gates, with or without a head bail/gate.
The whole device can be mounted onto the load bars.
Load bar adaptor cable kit
This kit allows four MP series load bars to be connected together, thereby doubling the system capacity. The load
bar adaptor cable kit is ideal for applications such as group animal weighing.
Installation instructions are included in the kit. Contact your Tru-Test Dealer for details.
