Calf Puller

HK Rheintechnik Calf Puller. An excellent tool for assisting with calving.

• High-quality HK 2020 or 2060 mechanisms are available for the calf puller.
• You can also choose the frame model: HK Plastic Head, Plastic Heads with Adjustable Side Frame and Flexi Frames- 58cm
• Mechanism 2020. Benefits of the Mechanism 2020 is low weight, as made entirely out of aluminium. 3 hooks for the calving ropes enabling both alternate and equal tension. Super easy to use quick release, even under load. The mechanism can be moved 360° around the tube in all models, providing unlimited flexibility. 3-year warranty.
• Mechanism 2060.The tension limiter prevents pulling the calf with too much force. Without regulation, tensile forces of up to 600 kg can be achieved, representing a substantial risk of injury to the cow and calf. For normal births, forces of up to 160 kg are entirely sufficient. The HK Rheintechnik Mechanism 2060 is fitted with a freely adjustable tension control. The lever locks when the pre-set force is attained. The tension control can also be released in an emergency. Mechanism 2060 is low weight, as made entirely out of aluminium. D-handle for good grip. 2 hooks for the calving ropes (equal tension). Super easy to use quick release, even under load. The mechanism can be moved 360° around the tube in all models, providing unlimited flexibility. 3-year warranty.
• Tie rod.Stable and thick-walled steel tube length is 180 cm. A unique and patented groove design gives the mechanism a secure hold. The tie rod’s geometry means the locking plates are applied all over the surface, rather than only at certain points. This improves force transfer and reduces wear. The rounded edges of the grooves further minimise wear and tear. The unique machining process lends the tube greater wall thickness and therefore greater stability. The tube can be disassembled into three parts, for easy storage: HK Rheintechnik calf pullers are ideal for transporting in cars (e.g. for vets).
• HK Plastic Head – The Classic.Sturdy plastic heads with lateral angled clamps. Small, easy to handle and lightweight. Ideal for recumbent births where larger heads can often not be positioned under the recumbent cow. 3-year warranty.
• HK plastic heads with adjustable side frame.The steel frame is adjusted to the shape of the pelvis, which prevents the ischium and the long ischium muscles from slipping. Triple adjustment option means it can be adjusted to each individual animal, i.e. the frame is suitable for both dairy breed with a narrow pelvis and for beef breeds with a wide pelvis. Wide, sturdy head for an even more non-slip fit. 3-year warranty.
• HK Flexi Frames- 58cm.The best protection against slipping. The frame surrounds the mother’s pelvis and reliably prevents slipping down and to the side. Tiltable, pulling motion possible both towards the tail and towards the udder. Frame made from galvanised steel tube with a smooth surface, making it both hygienic and easy to clean. 3-year warranty.
