Hog Carcasses Cart
The Scoop & Pull Carcass Cart is designed to haul hog carcasses out of buildings. The Pennsylvania agriculture supply company worked with a manufacturer to bring the cart to market.
  “There was a need in the industry for something that fits through the walkways, corners and 18-in. alleyways of many hog facilities,” says Jeremy Martin, who works in sales and purchasing for Farmer Boy Ag. “This is different because you don’t need a winch, pulley cables or pneumatic tires.” Just tilt the cart and scoop to load the animal, pull it upright and then wheel it away.
  The steel 16 by 44-in. cart is easy to pull and has a gooseneck wheel that turns 360 degrees. It has a 1,000-lb. weight capacity, and the rubber wheels with Delrin bearings hold up well in temperatures ranging from -40 to 180 F, as well as in pit gas when left inside the facility.
  Only on the market since late 2016, the cart has been very popular with operators of large hog operations, Martin says. In addition to hauling carcasses, it moves downer pigs safely and serves as a utility cart for wean-to-finish barns – to haul bags of feed, mats, brooders, heaters, etc.
  The carcass cart sells for $425, plus shipping. Check out YouTube for videos on ways to use the cart and how to assemble it.
