Product DescriptionWhat is the point of Cow Cubicles?The point of Cow cubicles first and foremost is to index cows properly. Proper indexing means the cow lies squarely on the bed reducing soiling, accidental teat damage to a neighbouring cow and maximising cow spaces. Your cow cubicles should be designed to promote cleaner conditions, thus helping to maintain the health of your herd.We provide cubicles that are designed to do just that, giving greater control over where the cows urinate and defecate to ensure this is done in the passageway rather than in the cubicle bed. This is the purpose of a cubicle.CubiclesWe have several mounting options for our cubiclesSingle Line Post & Rail Mounted cubiclesWhere a wall is not good enough to hold cubicles, we use the post and rail system. A 76mm post is placed every second space with a 60mm cubicle pipe, all tied in with your unique cubicle clamps for added strength. This free-standing system is perfect for this scenario, maximising strength and durability.Head-to-head post & Rail-mounted cubiclesWe use the post-and-rail system in our head-to-head cubicles. The cubicles are supported with a 76mm post or tied into an RSJ every second space. Our unique cubicle clamps add strength when linking our 60mm pipe to our posts and cubicles.When installing head-to-head cubicles, the cubicle pipe is offset from the centre. Many people think the centre is the uprights but in fact, the horizontal pipe is the true centre for the cubicles. This needs to be accounted for when setting the beds or with the cubicles. (Example 6’6ft one side and 6’9ft cubicles the other)The post and rail single or head-to-head system allows for adjustment up or down the row, providing superior comfort for all cow sizes while properly indexing the cow to lie squarely on the bed, reducing soiling and accidental teat damage to a neighbouring cow.Channel-mounted cubicles.The cubicle pipe is mounted to the wall using our channel brackets in a fixed position. This means the cubicle cannot be adjusted up or down the row like some of our other mounting options. The design provides for superior comfort for all cow sizes while properly indexing the cow to lie squarely on the bed, reducing soiling and accidental teat damage to a neighbouring cow. This design only works well with good walls preferably mass concrete.Z rail wall mounting CubiclesThe cubicle pipe is mounted to the wall using our unique Z-rail brackets and 60mm cubicle pipe. This means the cubicle can be adjusted up or down the row to suit.This design provides for flexibility for all cow sizes while properly indexing the cow to lie squarely on the bed, reducing soiling and accidental teat damage to a neighbouring cow. This design only works well with good walls, preferably mass concrete.QualityOur cubicles are manufactured out of a 3.65mm heavy-wall 60mm certified galvanised pipe. The German-manufactured certified pipe is what gives the cubicle its longevity. The certified pipe is a more expensive raw material. Certified pipe is a pipe that is manufactured for bending, which means the galvanize will not crack or flake when it is being bent. We have tested a galvanised pipe from all over the world. We have found that cubicles made from cheaper or lighter pipe result in hairline cracks and flaking when put through the manufacturing process. The lifetime value and quality just do not compare to the European-manufactured and certified pipe. Our cubicles will stand the test of time and cattle with up to two or three times the life span of some cubicle options out there.Other cubicles :Weanling Cubicle How are cubicles made?
