A fluid container measurement system is disclosed. The fluid container measurement system is configured to suspend a load measurement assembly a distance above a support surface. The load measurement assembly houses a load cell and a measurement control circuit. The measurement control circuit is coupled to the load cell and configured to receive electrical signals indicative of a force imposed on the load cell. Electrical signals generated by the load cell indicative of the force exerted on the load cell can be used to measure the fluid container attached to the load cell linkage member.

A method and system for determining the weight of an object, such as a shipping container, comprises a plurality of portable weighing units. The weighing units are attachable to the ISO corner connectors of the shipping container. The shipping container is lifted and its weight is then supported by the portable weighing units. The portable weighing units are arranged such that the load applied by the weight of the shipping container passes through respective load cells in each weighing unit in the required direction of loading to ensure an accurate reading from each load cell. The system also includes software enabling a customer to book a weighing service and software to facilitate weighing of the shipping container and transmitting weight data for the shipping container to the customer or to a third party.

An apparatus for weighing poultry in a conveyor line can include carriers for the poultry, linked to each other by a driving chain. The conveyor line can include at least a curved track section and a weighing track section, wherein a weighing station is located along the weighing track section. A chain tension control mechanism can include a rotatable wheel having its circumference following the curved track section and pass the weighing track section, which rotatable wheel can support a series of engaging units that engage the chain and/or the carriers in the curved track section to tension the chain and disengage the chain and/or the carriers in the weighing track section to release tension in the chain.
