Manual Dead Pig Cart with Two-Speed Hand Winch

The Manual Dead Pig Cart with Two-Speed Hand Winch is a heavy-duty carcass handling solution developed for commercial pig farms, sow farms and integrated livestock projects. It assists operators with loading, supporting and transporting pig mortalities from production areas to designated collection, storage or disposal points.

The cart combines a rigid steel load-bearing frame, reclining carcass support structure, manual cable-and-pulley lifting system and maneuverable wheel configuration. The two-speed hand winch provides different mechanical ratios for faster cable movement when resistance is low and greater pulling leverage when handling heavier carcasses. Manual operation eliminates dependence on batteries or electrical power, making the unit practical for routine use throughout pig houses, service alleys and mortality handling areas.

• Two-speed manual hand winch provides controlled pulling force for carcass loading.
• Heavy-duty steel frame designed for demanding commercial swine farm environments.
• Reclining carcass support structure assists loading, balancing and transportation.
• Manual operation requires no battery, motor or external electrical supply.
• Cable-and-pulley system helps transfer winching force to the carcass attachment point.
• Wheel configuration is designed for maneuverability in pig-house aisles and service passages.
• Pneumatic, solid or other wheel configurations can be supplied according to project requirements.
• Corrosion-resistant surface treatment can be selected for humid livestock-house conditions.
• Open frame construction facilitates inspection, cleaning and routine disinfection.
• Dimensions, carrying capacity, winch configuration and chassis layout are customizable.
• Suitable for individual farms, large-scale swine production groups and agricultural engineering projects.

• Main Load-Bearing Frame: Welded steel structure that supports the carcass and transfers operating loads to the wheel assembly.
• Reclining Carcass Bed: Supports the carcass during loading and helps maintain a stable position during manual transport.
• Two-Speed Hand Winch: Provides mechanical pulling force with selectable operating ratios for different loading conditions.
• Winch Cable: Transfers pulling force from the winch drum to the carcass attachment hardware.
• Guide Pulley System: Controls cable direction and supports smooth loading from the floor onto the cart.
• Carcass Attachment Hardware: Hook, cable or related fittings selected according to the required handling procedure.
• Main Wheels: Carry the principal transport load and provide mobility over livestock-house flooring.
• Support or Swivel Wheels: Available according to chassis design to improve stability and maneuverability.
• Operating Handles: Allow the operator to steer, tilt and position the carcass cart.
• Stabilizing Structure: Depending on configuration, stabilizing supports can help limit unwanted cart movement during winching.

The cart is positioned close to the pig carcass and stabilized according to the operating configuration. The winch cable is extended and connected to the carcass using the designated attachment point and farm handling procedure.

The operator turns the hand winch to draw the carcass progressively onto the inclined or reclining support frame. The two-speed mechanism allows the operator to select a suitable gear ratio according to pulling resistance. A faster ratio can be used for cable recovery or lighter pulling stages, while the higher-mechanical-advantage ratio assists with heavier loading conditions.

After the carcass is positioned and secured on the support structure, the cart is returned to its transport position and manually moved through the livestock building to the designated mortality collection or disposal area.

Final dimensions, rated load, winch specification, wheel arrangement and material configuration should be confirmed according to the individual farm project.

• Commercial pig farms and integrated swine production facilities
• Sow breeding farms and multiplication units
• Farrowing and breeding buildings
• Gestation barns and sow housing areas
• Nursery and grow-finish farm service areas
• Large pig-house aisles and internal service corridors
• Mortality collection and temporary carcass storage areas
• Farm biosecurity and carcass management systems
• Livestock equipment projects for agricultural engineering contractors
• OEM supply programs for livestock equipment distributors and dealers

The carcass cart can be configured according to pig size, mortality handling procedures, barn layout, aisle width, floor condition and local operating environment.

• Overall cart length, width and height
• Rated load capacity
• Frame section and structural reinforcement
• Carcass bed or support-frame dimensions
• Two-speed hand winch specification
• Winch cable length and attachment hardware
• Pulley position and cable-routing arrangement
• Pneumatic or solid tire configuration
• Main wheel and swivel/support wheel arrangement
• Galvanized, coated or other corrosion-resistant surface treatment
• Configuration designed according to local climate and farm conditions
• OEM branding, packaging and distributor requirements available upon request

Initial Assembly and Inspection

• Install detachable wheels, handles, supports or other components if supplied separately for transportation.
• Check frame connections, bolts, pins, wheel axles and welded joints before commissioning.
• Verify that the winch rotates correctly in both operating ratios.
• Inspect the winch cable, pulley and attachment hook before applying load.
• Confirm that any reclining, tilting or stabilizing mechanism operates correctly.
• Carry out an unloaded functional test before routine farm use.

Routine Maintenance

• Remove manure, bedding and organic material after use.
• Wash and disinfect carcass-contact surfaces according to the farm biosecurity program.
• Inspect the winch cable for broken strands, kinks, deformation or corrosion.
• Check hooks, pulleys, winch gears and attachment points regularly.
• Inspect wheel bearings, axles, casters and tires for wear or damage.
• Maintain appropriate tire pressure where pneumatic tires are installed.
• Lubricate moving mechanical components where required by the selected configuration.
• Inspect the frame and welded joints periodically for deformation or cracking.
• Repair damaged protective coatings promptly to maintain corrosion resistance.

Q1: What is this manual dead pig cart designed for?

It is designed to assist with loading and transporting pig and sow carcasses from livestock buildings to designated mortality collection, storage or disposal areas.

Q2: What is the advantage of a two-speed hand winch?

Two-speed operation allows different mechanical ratios to be selected according to the loading stage. One ratio can provide faster cable movement, while the other provides increased mechanical advantage when greater pulling force is required.

Q3: Does the carcass cart require electricity?

No. The standard operating principle is fully manual and does not require a battery or external electrical supply.

Q4: Can the cart be used for sow carcasses?

Yes. Configurations can be selected for commercial pigs, breeding stock and sows. The required maximum carcass weight should be provided before the final model is confirmed.

Q5: Can the load capacity be customized?

Yes. Frame strength, winch specification and chassis configuration can be selected according to the required carcass weight and project conditions.

Q6: Are different tire configurations available?

Yes. Pneumatic, solid and other wheel configurations can be supplied according to barn flooring, maintenance requirements and operating conditions.

Q7: Can the cart be designed for narrow pig-house aisles?

Yes. Overall width, chassis layout and wheel arrangement can be selected according to the available aisle width and turning space.

Q8: What surface treatments are available?

Galvanized, coated and other corrosion-resistant finishes are available upon request according to farm conditions and project specifications.

Q9: How should the cart be cleaned?

Organic material should be removed promptly, followed by washing and disinfection according to the farm's established mortality handling and biosecurity procedures.

Q10: What information is recommended when requesting a quotation?

Please provide the maximum expected carcass weight, pig-house aisle width, preferred cart dimensions, wheel type, surface treatment, required quantity and any OEM or project-specific requirements.
