CUSTOM-BUILT FEED TROLLEY

Equine Engineering’s custom-built feed trolley combines handling with high manoeuvrability thanks to a pneumatic swivel castor in front and larger wheels on the back. Roller bearing allows suitable positioning of the feeder anywhere in the yard. It comes fully galvanised to prevent rust and eliminate the possibility of the coating flaking into the feed.

The trolley has four separate compartments for storing feed and thanks to removable dividers you can control the feed flow and adjust the mixture to your yard’s current nutritional requirements. Each one of the four compartments in the trolley is capable of storing 40kg of feed.

After feeding, the feed can be kept covered with the use of the fold-down lids that simply fold over to protect feed from rodents and contamination.

Show jumper Olive Clarke spoke about the product and said: “We purchased a feed trolley from Equine Engineering last year. I have found it to be lightweight but extremely tough. It is easy to manoeuvre and makes feed time a breeze. The removable dividers make it simple to clean and also allow you to separate different feed according to your requirements.”

The feed trolley can be built to your own specifications with the option of a fourth wheel, more or less compartments, and the option of a supplement tray for carrying your supplements.
