About loading ramps & pig handling alleys
Moving pigs is where staff and animals are most at risk, and where the clean and dirty sides of a farm meet. Alleys, gates and ramps need non-slip floors, a gentle slope, solid sides and a clear boundary at the truck. We plan them with the house layout and the vehicles that will collect your pigs.

Built-in loading bays or movable ramps.
Guide gates
Swing and sliding gates to steer groups.
Transfer alleys
Corridors linking houses and stages.
