Description

MNM Scales Optima OP-922 Goat and Sheep Scale: 660 lb x 0.2 lb, 20″ x 43″

The MNM Scales Optima OP-922 goat and sheep scale weighs kids, lambs, does, ewes and bucks up to 660 lb (300 kg) in 0.2 lb (0.1 kg) steps. The 20″ x 43″ mild steel platform is long enough for an adult goat or sheep to stand on, about 2.6″ high so animals step up without a ramp, and covered with a rubber mat for footing.

Use it for dosing, growth and show records in the barn, then for feed sacks, produce crates and shipments.

Calibration and Service

For clinics, farms and businesses that need documented accuracy, MNM Scales offers scale calibration by our TDA-registered technicians, with calibration certificates available on request. The MNM Scales Optima OP-922 is a general-purpose scale and is not NTEP approved, so it should not be used for selling animals, produce or goods by weight where a legal-for-trade scale is required.

Frequently Asked Questions

How much weight can this scale hold?

It weighs up to 660 lb (300 kg) and reads in 0.2 lb (0.1 kg) steps, which covers dogs of any size, goats, sheep, nursery and feeder pigs, young calves, people, and most cartons, kegs and sacks.

How do I weigh a dog or goat that will not stand still?

Lead the animal onto the rubber mat and press HOLD. The indicator locks the weight even while the animal moves, so you can read it after the animal steps off.

Can I use it as a shipping or warehouse floor scale?

Yes. Remove the mat or leave it on, and weigh boxes, crates, parcels, totes and sacks up to 660 lb. Loads go straight on the 20″ x 43″ deck; it is not sized for pallets.

Can I weigh kegs, drums and feed sacks?

Yes, up to 660 lb. Set the keg, pail or sack on the deck and read the weight, or press ZERO with an empty container on the scale to read only the contents. A full 55-gallon drum is wider than the 20″ platform, so it is better suited to smaller drums and pails.

Can hunters and gyms use it?

Yes. It weighs deer, hogs and other field-dressed game, and it handles athlete weigh-ins for training records. Official competition weigh-ins may require a certified legal-for-trade scale.

What is the platform made of?

It is a mild steel scale: a mild steel frame with a stainless steel cover, topped by the removable rubber mat for footing and easy cleaning.

Does it need an outlet?

No. It runs on the AC adapter indoors or on batteries in the barn, at camp or anywhere no outlet is handy.

Is it legal for trade?

No. It is not NTEP approved. Use it for animal health, dosing, shipping estimates, inventory, records and general weighing, not for selling animals, produce or goods by weight.

Can I get it calibrated or buy several?

Yes. The MNM Scales Optima OP-922 is on our end-of-year sale now. Ask for a quote or call (832) 290-3120 for calibration certificates, quantity pricing or help choosing the right scale.
