Choosing the right Tru-Test Weighscales & Indicators

Brad-Dwyer
Jul 11, 2020 Cattle ID, Sheep ID, Weights & Data 0 Comment

Looking for a weigh scale you can rely on that gives you only the information you want?
Look no further than Tru-Test™ Solutions.

The real benefits from eartags are seen when using weigh scales, data collection units with fixed or handheld scanners. We're often asked ``what solution will perform the tasks I need, how will it work with a scanner/reader``. Well here's a brief overview of Tru-Test solutions with links to resources that you may find useful.
Brad Dwyer - 4Tags.com

Tru-Test™ Indicators:

Tru-Test’s range of durable weigh scales has earned a global reputation for the fastest and most accurate weight capture technology.

All Tru-Test weigh scales feature Superdamp™ technology, unique to Tru-Test, to record accurate weights quickly, even with the liveliest animals. Within seconds the weigh scales lock on a weight, and a bright stable light lets you know it’s ready to be recorded. An auto zero function also ensures any accumulation of animal dirt or manure is zeroed after the animal leaves the scale.

The range is designed to suit a variety of situations so you only get the technology you need. Suitable for cattle, sheep, deer, horses and goats and compatible with all Tru-Test load bars.

With the addition of the new Datamars Livestock Management software  (available for free with your Tru-Test weigh scale), it’s now even easier to turn your weighing data into simple, clear valuable insights that help you make your decisions.
