| Product Overview |
The Stainless Steel Calf Transport Cart with Ramp is a manually operated livestock trolley designed for the safe and convenient movement of calves and other young or small animals within dairy farms, calf-rearing facilities and veterinary management areas.
The cart combines a corrosion-resistant stainless steel body with two large PU wheels, a front support wheel and a compact push handle. Its removable rear panel is manufactured from non-slip diamond plate and folds downward to form a loading ramp, helping calves enter and leave the cart with less lifting and handling.
A rubber mat in the standing and lying area provides a more secure footing surface during transportation, while the smooth stainless steel construction supports regular washing and disinfection in commercial livestock environments. |
| Key Features |
- Stainless steel construction for durability, corrosion resistance and easy sanitation.
- Designed for transporting calves and other young or small livestock.
- Single-axle configuration with large PU wheels for stable farm movement.
- Additional support wheel improves stability when loading, unloading or parking.
- Removable rear panel folds down to create a convenient loading and unloading ramp.

| Working Principle |
Before loading, the removable rear panel is lowered to form a gradual ramp between the floor and the transport compartment. The calf can then be guided into the cart without requiring the operator to lift the animal over a high side wall.
After loading, the rear panel is raised and secured. The operator moves the cart using the push handle, while the two large PU wheels carry the primary load and the smaller support wheel assists stability and maneuverability.
At the destination, the rear panel is lowered again to provide a non-slip exit ramp. This simple loading principle is particularly useful for newborn, young, weak or recovering calves that should be handled with minimal unnecessary lifting. |

| Project Cases |
Calf transport carts are commonly incorporated into dairy-farm calf management routes between maternity barns, veterinary areas, individual calf housing and group-rearing facilities.
For larger projects, the required number of carts should be selected according to calving frequency, distance between buildings, calf housing layout, hygiene zoning and daily livestock handling procedures. |
