    For which areas of application and target groups are the hay racks suitable?

    Pasture and open stable

    Round racks and climate/large bale racks are particularly practical on pastures. Many models can be implemented with the three-point hitch; Roofs protect feed and animals from rain and strong sun. To ensure animal-friendly housing, generous runs must be planned.

    Stable, box and paddock

    Wall racks are suitable if roughage needs to be available cleanly and in a space-saving manner - for example in horse boxes or paddocks. Narrow feeding fence spacing supports consistent feed intake. Suitable versions are available in this category for different animal species.

    Hobby and family businesses, farmers

    A mixed price range is represented, from compact, price-conscious versions to large-scale premium solutions. Hobby pet owners will find easy-to-assemble kits; Professionals benefit from durable, hot-dip galvanized constructions with safety details.

    Which materials and quality levels are available?

    Most hay racks in this category are made from hot-dip galvanized steel for high corrosion resistance. Roofs are available as sheet metal or tarpaulin construction. Many models offer height-adjustable feet or roofs, reinforced frame tubes and protective bars. Feed saving nets made of robust mesh material extend feeding time and reduce losses; the smaller the mesh size, the slower the absorption (depending on the model).

This category includes mobile variants with a three-point hitch as well as roofs and climate roofs that protect food and animals in rain and sun. Feed saving nets and robust, hot-dip galvanized designs increase efficiency and longevity.
    Are the models suitable for horses – what should you pay attention to when it comes to feeding fences?
    Palisade feeding fences suitable for horses and special round horse racks are available in this category. Some cattle racks are not suitable for horses - relevant information can be found in the product text. Wall racks with narrow spacing are available for boxes/paddocks, which promote controlled feed intake.
    How do I choose the right mesh size for the feed saving net?
    The smaller the mesh size, the longer the eating time and the lower the losses. Nets with 10, 6 and 4.5 cm mesh sizes are available in this category - including frames and rings that securely connect the net to round or square racks.
    What is the purpose of a climate roof for hay racks – and when is it worth it?
    Climate roofs offer large shading areas and use the chimney effect to create an air exchange that reduces heat and can reduce fly loads. Complete climate control large bale racks as well as climate roofs for professional square racks are available in this category - ideal for pastures with strong sunshine or rain.
    Is there an assembly service in Switzerland for hay racks and accessories?
    Yes. For the hay racks, roofs and accessories available in this category, a Switzerland-wide assembly service is available by arrangement at a fair price. This makes it easier to set up, align and securely fasten in the pasture or stable.
    How can a hay rack be moved or fixed safely?
    Many round and square tractors in this category offer a three-point hitch for the tractor. Protective bars cover the coupling points. In locations with a lot of wind, additional stable surfaces and professional placement make sense so that animals stand safely around the feeding area.
    What information about animal welfare regulations is important when using hay racks?
    The choice of rack should support animal-friendly, legally compliant feeding. Horse and cattle specific versions are available in this category; In addition, generous runs and, depending on the husbandry, outdoor enclosures must be planned. Instructions such as “not suitable for horses” must be observed.
