I have a 90 degree arm, with a hand winch, on my golf cart that I use to lift Deer and hogs but it makes a perfect "weigh" to weigh hives. I use a heavy ratchet strap around the complete hive, and just hook the scale on the lift arm into the strap that is around the hives. The $35 scale from Amazon, good for 750 pounds, hangs on the winch hook. If I positioned the cart right the hive is hardly moved while I weigh
