LOYAL GUTTER GRATES
Keeps Your Cows and Bedding Clean!
- Keeps cows out of gutter and their tails drier... protects legs and udders
- Saves on bedding — keeps bedding out of slurry
- Provides for more sanitary milking
- Ideal for problem and freshening cows. 4' grates can be moved around barn to where needed
- Rugged but simple construction — quality crafted by our skilled MIG welders for years of dependable, hard use
- Rigid 5/8" structural-steel grate rods — round grate rods used (not angle-iron) for better manure drop-through and for longer life
- Sturdy 3/4" cross rods—spaced at 16" intervals to prevent grates from bowing. Some so-called "bargain grates" have fewer cross rods
- Side angles are thicker for longer life... wider to adjust to differences in your gutter width (short side angles allow liquids to drain into gutter)
- Built on jigs—grate rods are consistently spaced. Permits our scraper to work smoothly and rapidly (Some so-called "bargain grates" may actually cost you more in the long run because of extra cleaning time.)
- Our grate rod spacing preferred for cows. Some so-called "bargain grates" have fewer rods. This can significantly increase chance of a valuable cow catching its hoof between rods and injuring hoof and leg. Our spacing still permits most manure to pass through (straw must be chopped short to go through grates)
- 5/8" grate rods provide less danger of cows' hooves slipping through rods, than do 3/4" rods with identical 1-3/8" spacing between rods. 5/8" rods easier on cows' hooves than 3/4" rods, because 5/8" rods have less radius and because rod centers closer (2" vs 2-1/8")
- Grates made with 1/8" to 1/4" side clearance
- Unpainted steel finish
