Good hanging scales are well within the grants provided to scientists so finances should not be an issue. Are people not lifting these cats right? I wouldn't know, but I think something is wrong in the procedure and not the materials.

True that !

Here are pictures of ST-4 (T-12 of RTR) photographed in June 2010 (barely a month prior to his translocation to Sariska) & ST-2 (T-18 of RTR) photographed in February 2008 (5 months prior to her translocation to Sariska). There is absolutely no way either of them weighed 170 Kgs at the time of capture/release.

I can understand @Vijay Rajan stand on T12 and I totally agree with him.
There is no way T12 weighed in a mere 170kg, he was way bigger than that. Obviously there should be a scale error or a typo error in the document.
T12 was a dominant resident male in Ranthambore before being shifted and was a large one.

Here is a video of him next to a vehicle to get an idea of his size.

Here is a video of T12 with T17 (sister of T18) to gauge is size, watch it from 5.40
