Spring assisted Cattle and Sheep Swing Decks

Through many conversations with livestock carriers,Truck Art Trailers has been made acutely aware of the difficulty faced by the livestock bulk handling industry when attempting to recruit and retain experienced livestock handlers/drivers. This difficulty extends across the country with a number of job features being blamed including; dangers associated with managing stock, long work hours and associated fatigue, manipulation of heavily designed trailer components and the lifestyle etc.Fatigue management is clearly a vital element of the stock handling process and Truck Art Trailers has partially addressed this through its automated gate. To further address this important issue, Truck Art has developed a swing deck concept that uses “spring assist” to significantly reduce the “felt weight” of the deck or multiple decks by 50% during their operation. Both cattle and sheep decks can be made with “spring assist”
