1.2 Overview
The MAS-M is an agricultural implement consisting of a scale with air ride suspension
and swing out hitch, sheeted animal cage suspended by four S-type load cells through
a cam style On-Board scale system, and weigh center. In transport mode the scale
system is locked down, protecting the load cells from damage during transport. To
convert to weigh mode the entire scale is lowered to the ground, the hitch is split and
swung outward and the scale is raised to the weigh mode using a lever and cam
system. The weigh center contains the digital indicator and ticket printer. To convert
back to transport mode the process is reversed (lower the scale, swing hitch inward
and lock and raise the suspension using the integral air pump).
The MAS-M can be used on any firm surface up to 7% grade (4-degree slope) and has
a low deck height (6”) for easy step in.
