| Product Overview |
The Manual Dead Pig Cart is a solid-sided carcass handling tool designed for commercial swine farms. Its deep V-shaped loading trough, manual winch and two-wheel structure provide a practical solution for loading and transporting pig mortalities through barn aisles and farm service areas. |
| Key Features |
- Solid sheet-metal sides help support and contain the carcass during transport.
- Deep V-shaped trough helps keep the animal positioned securely while the cart is moving.
- Manual hand winch reduces the effort required to load pig carcasses.
- Straight-pull winch configuration provides a simple loading system without unnecessary pulley arrangements.
- Galvanized steel winch cable provides durability for repeated farm use.
- Large wheels improve maneuverability over barn-floor joints, minor obstructions and uneven surfaces.
- Narrow manual cart design is suitable for pig house aisles and confined livestock areas.
- Steel construction provides durability for commercial swine production environments.
- Powder-coated or other corrosion-resistant surface treatments are available.
- No battery, motor or external power supply is required.
- Accessible structure allows routine washing, inspection and disinfection.
- Dimensions, carrying capacity, wheel type and surface treatment can be customized.

| Structural Components |
- Main Steel Frame: Provides structural support for carcass loading and transportation.
- Solid Side Panels: Help contain the carcass and improve stability during movement.
- V-Shaped Trough: Forms the main carcass-supporting section and helps prevent lateral movement.
- Loading Nose: Provides a low entry point for drawing the carcass onto the cart.
- Manual Hand Winch: Generates mechanical pulling force for carcass loading.
- Galvanized Steel Cable: Transfers pulling force between the winch and the carcass.
- Loading Hook or Attachment: Provides connection during the loading process.
- Two-Wheel Assembly: Supports the load and allows movement through livestock buildings.
- Operating Handles: Allow the operator to balance, push, pull and steer the cart.

| Working Principle |
The cart is positioned with its lower loading section close to the carcass. The winch cable is attached according to farm operating procedures, and the operator turns the hand winch to draw the animal into the V-shaped trough. Once loaded, the carcass is supported by the solid side panels and trough while the operator balances the cart over the wheel axle and moves it to the designated mortality collection, storage or disposal area. |
