The Avery Weigh-Tronix Weigh Bar is the original, industry-leading agricultural weighing solution. Designed right on the farm and engineered specifically to survive and thrive in the harshest agricultural conditions, the Weigh Bar delivers accurate, reliable performance year after year.

Why the Weigh Bar Excels in Real Farm Conditions

Farming doesn’t happen in a clean lab. Scales face constant movement, uneven ground, rain, snow, mud, dust, and heavy impacts. The Weigh Bar was purpose-built for exactly these challenges:

• Advanced environmental seals and protective coatings guard against water, dust, mud, snow, and corrosive elements
• Exceptional resistance to end loading, side loading, and torsion – far better than conventional load cell designs
• Rugged construction that stands up to years of heavy, mobile use with minimal maintenance
• Pre-calibrated at the factory – when paired with an Avery Weigh-Tronix indicator, you get accurate weighing straight out of the box with no test weights required

Weigh Bar vs. Shear Beam Load Cells

Traditional shear beam load cells often struggle under the side forces, end impacts, and twisting loads common in agricultural applications. The Weigh Bar’s unique design provides:

• Superior side-load and end-load performance
• Outstanding resistance to torsion (twisting)
• Greater long-term accuracy and reliability in tough, real-world farm conditions
