Introduction

The cattle loading ramp functions as a hydraulic dock leveler, enabling the simultaneous evacuation of all truck floors. This facilitates a smooth exit for the cattle, eliminating the need to navigate significant unevenness and ensuring a stress-free journey to the slaughterhouse when they exit together.

Advantage

Safety

Ramps can reduce the risk of injury to both animals and workers. They can also help to avoid unevenness that can make it difficult for cattle to get on and off a truck.

Efficiency

Ramps can help to reduce the time it takes to load and unload cattle, which can increase the efficiency of farm operations

Stress reduction

Ramps can help to reduce stress on cattle, which can improve the quality and quantity of the product.

Ease of use

Ramps can make it easier to load and unload cattle, which can reduce the amount of labor required from a farmer

Technical Parameters

Ramp length: The ramp should be at least 3.5–4.6 meters long to reach a loading height of 1.2 meters.

Ramp direction: A slight curve or deviation can make it easier for cattle to move up the ramp.

Main Functions

Purpose

It is avoided that animals can be harmed when getting on or off the truck, reducing unloading times, thus optimizing the work of the operators and increasing the quality and quantity of the product, by avoid subjecting it to large doses of anxiety that spoil your meat.

How to use

Usage instructions

With the use of this levelling ramp, the aim is to create a surface as flat as possible to facilitate these operations.

Here are the requirements that any livestock loading ramp must meet:

The surface of the ground must be non-slip.

Incorporation of side protections to prevent animals from falling or escaping.

During loading:

The ramps must be elevated so that the animals only have to ascend a small height.

As for the ramp incline, it cannot exceed an angle of:

20º for pigs, horses, and calves.

26º for sheep and cattle.
