Race
and
Chicane
installation
The
purpose
of
the
Chicane
is
to
slow
and
separate
the
animals
so
the
weighing
event
can
be
captured
reliably.
If
animals
are
presented
at
the
Main
platform
too
fast,
either
incorrect
weights
will
be
captured
or
weights
will
not
be
captured.
Note:
The
concrete
under
the
Weighing
Platform
set
must
be
as
level
as
possible.
The
Weighing
Platform
must
be
level
and
both
platforms
must
be
even
in
height.
Chicane
dimensions
The
following
is
a
diagram
of
an
ideal
chicane.
Use
this
as
a
base
for
the
design
of
each
installation.
Note:
The
Lead
‐
on
platform
must
be
located
as
close
as
possible
to
the
end
of
the
Chicane
to
maximise
its
effectiveness.
Gallagher
recommends
that
the
leading
edge
of
the
Lead
‐
on
platform
is
placed
no
greater
than
200
mm
from
the
end
of
the
Chicane.
