Aluminum Alloy Piglet Catcher for Farm Handling

The Aluminum Alloy Piglet Catcher is a long-reach livestock handling tool designed for catching and transferring young piglets in commercial pig farms. With an overall length of approximately 100 cm, it allows farm workers to reach piglets without repeatedly bending down or entering deeply into the pen.

The lightweight aluminum alloy structure provides practical strength and corrosion resistance, while rubber-covered contact areas help provide a softer gripping surface. It is especially suitable for piglets approximately 1 to 10 days old in farrowing-house management and routine piglet handling.

• Lightweight Aluminum Alloy: Provides good strength while keeping the tool convenient for repeated daily use.
• 100 cm Long-Reach Design: Helps operators reach piglets while reducing frequent bending and close entry into the pen.
• Rubber-Covered Jaws: Contact surfaces are cushioned with rubber to provide a softer grip during handling.
• Designed for Young Piglets: Suitable for piglets approximately 1 to 10 days old.
• Manual Operation: Requires no electricity, batteries or charging equipment.
• Convenient Handle Control: The handle-operated mechanism allows the catching jaws to be controlled from the opposite end of the long shaft.
• Easy to Carry: Slim construction makes the tool easy to transport between farrowing rooms and piglet-care areas.
• Farm-Ready Construction: Suitable for routine piglet handling in commercial farrowing and nursery operations.

The operator positions the rubber-covered catching jaws carefully beneath the young piglet and operates the handle to control the jaw movement. The curved contact section supports and secures the piglet so it can be lifted or transferred over a short distance when required.

The tool should be operated gently and without excessive gripping force. Correct positioning is important to minimize stress and avoid unnecessary pressure on the piglet.
