What is the Juniper Pig Lift for?

It was designed for safe pig handling and to make hoof trimming easier — raising the pig gently off the ground so its legs hang free and its body rests on a heavily padded bar. It is built to be portable.

How does a pig get in and out?

Remove the back door and the pig walks in; replace and lock the door, then lift with the touch of a button. When the procedure is complete, lower the lift, remove the front door, and the pig walks right out onto the ground.

How high does it lift?

The pig can be lifted up to 32 inches from the ground surface.

What size pigs does it fit?

The width for the pig is adjustable to 14 inches or 20 inches.

How much weight can it handle?

The lifting winch is rated at 1,500 lbs and is secured with a safety lockout system; the carabiners are rated at 2,697 lbs and the webbing at 1,600 lbs.

Is it easy to move around a facility?

Yes. The lift is built on a four-caster wheeled frame so it can be rolled where it's needed and stored out of the way between procedures.

How it works

One person, one calm lift.

01
Remove the back door. The pig walks in, then the door is replaced and locked behind it.
02
Lift with the touch of a button. The winch raises the pig smoothly, up to 32 inches off the ground.
03
The pig's legs hang down through the open area while its body rests, steady and supported, on a heavily padded bar — leaving hooves free to trim.
04
Once the work is done, lower the lift, remove the front door, and the pig walks right back out onto the ground.
