New Style Hip Hugger Cow Lift LIVESTOCK Dairy (17) 17-2-26 New "Hip Hugger" cow lift is easier to use than other hip hugger-type lifters because there's no awkward crank to turn, says the manufacturer. Also, it's made out of larger pipe which spreads the load out, making it more comfortable for the cow.
The "Hip Hugger" can be raised by a block and tackle mounted on the barn roof or by a chain attached to a front-end loader. As it's raised the Hip Hugger's two sides come together with a scissors-type action that tightly grips the cow, yet is easy on her. A large wing nut can be adjusted to get the proper grip.
Adjustable leg restraints - supplied with the lift - buckle onto each leg, allowing the cow to walk and remain standing while being supported. The leg restraints can also be used on cows that you suspect might have a problem before they get seriously injured.
Sells for $129.
