HD SERIES Heavy Duty LOAD BARS IDEAL FOR CATTLE Tru-Test HD load bars are designed for heavy duty permanent installations where extra capacity and durability are required. With a 3000kg capacity the HD load bars are especially suited for use under small to medium size cattle crushes. Their industrial strength construction makes them the load bar of choice for cattle operations where there are severe loadings and high usage rates. The foot assembly design is unique to Tru-Test HD series load bars and sets them apart from the rest. The foot assembly utilises a special load-centering cup to absorb the tremendous side loads generated by large animals running into the ends of crates and crushes, without damaging the load sensing cells. Tru-Test load bars are recognised for their rugged durability and performance in harsh environments. All are made from aircraft grade aluminium and are sealed to keep out moisture. Heavy-duty TPR/PVC cables are a standard feature, which minimise the likelihood of cable damage. Key Features Permanent installation: Designed for installation under crates and crushes. Permanently fasten to the ground without the risk of damaging the load cell. Compatible. Can be used with any indicator in the Tru-Test range without calibration. Corrosion resistant. Galvanised steel housing protects the bar in the very corrosive agricultural environment. Sealed load cell. Protects the load cell against moisture damage allowing the load bars to remain outside under the crush. Heavy duty. Designed for high volume, large weight use within a crush environment. Strong and durable construction ensuring long term reliability. Available in two lengths 800mm (60102) and 1010mm (60202) Tel: 01765689541 Fax: 01765689851 email: info@ritchey.co.uk web: www.ritchey.co.uk
