1. A fluid container measurement system, comprising:
a load measurement assembly, comprising:
a housing including an opening;
a load cell positioned in the housing, the load cell having a principal load axis substantially orthogonal to a support surface; and
a load cell interconnect coupled to the load cell in the housing, the load cell interconnect having an interface extending through the opening in the housing;
a display adjustably attached to an upper surface of the housing of the load measurement assembly; and
a load cell linkage member configured to be removably attached to the interface of the load cell interconnect, the load cell linkage member including a fluid container attachment region.
