GEA Gating for Automated Milking Systems
Solutions to help simplify cow routing and herd management
Create the ultimate in routing and selection convenience in your barn with the GEA Lifting Gate. It can provide the ideal temporary separation in areas with frequent traffic, without having to swing the gate through a closely packed group of cows.
GEA Manual Lifting Gate
2 · GEA GATING FOR AUTOMATED MILKING SYSTEMS
Manually operated — the lifting gate opens and closes by
lifting the gate up/down vertically.
Easy to operate — the gate is lightweight and it stays at the
height you want. The locking mechanism of the gate closes
automatically on both sides. The gate is released with a lever.
Fully adjustable — fits a variety of openings from 7 to 20 ft.
Modular design — four base models combined with a 3 ft.
telescoping insert easily adjusts to fit a variety of openings.
Durable — hot-dipped galvanized construction.
Spring assisted lifting — to ensure safe and effortless
operation.
Example — Waiting area in free cow flow barnWith free-cow traffic, the need to guide a cow towards the robot is sometimes
required. By lowering the lifting gate, you can create a temporary waiting
area in front of the milking robot.
Example — Separation areaA section of the barn that is used for normal living space can be made into a
“temporary” separation area by lowering the lifting gate, creating an area where cows can be separated for herd management tasks. The benefits are that cows remain
visible and they have normal access to feed, water and freestalls for less stress.
