Easy Mate crowd gate
The Easy Mate is a reliable and solid crowd gate, provided with smooth hydraulic controls. An Easy Mate crowd gate provides years of efficient livestock driving and significantly reduces labour.
The Easy Mate crowd gate has been designed for intensive use in medium-sized and large dairy businesses, where reliability and working convenience is important.
The Easy Mate makes possible a smooth and constant filling of the milking parlour. Because of its low and compact design, it is suitable for installation in existing situations and during renovations.
In the waiting area tracks are placed which, depending on the configuration, are placed on truss consoles or on fencing. A heavy-duty drive chain is positioned in these guide tracks, on which the crowd gate will move. The travel and lifting movement is provided by a reliable and smoothly operating hydraulic unit. Because of the powerful operating system, the Easy Mate is suitable for both flat and sloping waiting areas.
With an Easy Mate crowd gate working in production groups will be easy and straightforward.
When a group of livestock is driven into the milking parlour, the next group can follow behind the crowd gate. When the first group is in the milking parlour, the fencing can be raised upwards, so that the entire fencing can return over the livestock.
If required, the Easy Mate can be fitted with a manure scraper and a water spray system for a clean waiting area.
