Footloose goat- or sheep milking parlour
The Footloose goat or sheep milking parlour is a rapid-exit milking parlour. Its structure is a self-supporting frame, with a ground support after every 7 stalls. The goats or sheep enter the milking parlour one after the other. As soon as the first goat takes its place in the first position, the entrance to the second position opens, etc.
Because of its self-supporting structure, the Footloose gives the milker a clear overview of the milking parlour. The plastic panels can be cleaned easily and effectively. The panels are also sound-absorbing, creating a pleasant working environment for the milker.
The gates rotate on stainless steel hinge pins without springs, which makes them low-maintenance and allows proper closure.
Available as an option: Selection of which individual gates in the Footloose milking parlour should be opened.
For an even smoother and easier milking process, there are optional latches available for the selection gates. The selection gate is fixed in the open position, resulting in a smooth milking process, in particular for very restless yearlings. A central release switch ensures that the selection gates close again in a single movement, after the goats/sheep have left the milking parlour.
