The chute is equipped with rubber plates under the feet, which makes it very stable and help reduce noise.
The side-hinged backdoor is designed to be part of the barrier when guiding the livestock into the chute, while open it blocks the flight route of the cow to the right side. At the same time the side-hinged back door enables the usage of the back door for storage purposes creating an easy access to the equipment needed for trimming such as knives, bandages etc.
The four LED working lights placed above all hooves gives a great view of the working area during the trimming, which is very important in the detection of illnesses.

Easy maintenance

The floor of the chute is covered in a special rubber mat, which is very durable and made of a material which can withstand the usage of strong cleaning detergents. Furthermore, the rubber mat is designed with a non-slip surface and a technology the absorbs the weight of the cow into the mat, making it ideal for securing the footing of the cows.
The back of the floor is designed with a grid, so that faeces will not accumulate on the floor of the chute making it slippery and securing that the hoof is not covered in faeces and making it cleaning-friendly.
