Need some safe, super facilities?
By Terryn Drieling
It’s no mystery that in this day in age, finding enough help to get a job done can be a job in and of itself. Whether you’re calving, vaccinating a few head, or shipping – a simple handling system that can operate efficiently on a short crew is a must. Take a look at these simple systems built with all of that ease of use and functionality in mind.
Moly Manufacturing, Inc. – Turret Gate
“Less people. Less stress. Added safety.” – That’s what Moly Mfg. had in mind, and achieved, with the inception of the TurretGate. The TurretGate’s remote controlled operation, 320 degree operational swing and shuttle features eliminate the need for people to be in close quarters with animals. The result is an extra layer of safety and reduced stress on animals and handlers alike.
Remote operation from distances of up to 100 feet
Virtually no skill or prior training required to operate
Easily added to existing facilities
Option to use as a sorting tool
