Farrowing Crates
Crates that hold the sow safely during farrowing and lactation and protect piglets from being crushed.
- Protects piglets during and after farrowing
- Safe access for the stockperson
- Used with creep heating, feeder and drinker
Sizes and configuration are customised to the project; details are agreed with you before quotation.
Overview
A farrowing crate confines the sow during farrowing and lactation so she cannot lie down suddenly on her piglets, and gives the stockperson safe access to both. It is combined with a piglet creep area with heating, a sow feeder and a drinker. Crate dimensions, bar spacing and floor type are matched to the sow size and the local welfare rules.
Features
- 01
Protects piglets
The crate limits sudden movements of the sow, which lowers the risk of crushing.
- 02
Safe access
The stockperson can reach the sow and piglets without entering the crate.
- 03
Complete with feeder and drinker
Hardware for feeding, drinking and a creep area is planned as part of the crate.

Frequently asked questions
What size crate should I choose?
The size follows the sow breed and weight and the pen layout. Tell us the breed and the pen space and we will recommend a size.
Are crates allowed everywhere?
Rules for sow confinement differ between countries. Please check local requirements; welfare farrowing pens are available as an alternative.
Are pens made of galvanised steel?
Frames are hot-dip galvanised steel for long life in a wet house. Panels can be steel or PVC, depending on the stage and your preference.
Can pen sizes be changed?
Yes. Dimensions are set by the pig size, group size and local welfare rules, and the layout can be customised for the house.
Do you supply flooring with the pens?
Yes. Plastic, cast iron and concrete slats are available, and we match them to the pen type.
Do you supply both steel and PVC panels?
Yes. Steel is used for frames and open fronts; PVC panels are used for solid sides that are easy to wash.
Can you match pens I already have?
Often yes. Send us drawings or photos with dimensions and we check how to match them.
Are sizes and configurations fixed?
No. Dimensions, materials and configuration are customised to your herd size, climate and local rules, and agreed with you before quotation.
Are the specifications on your product pages final?
They are typical reference values to help you compare. Final specifications are confirmed with you before quotation.
Who installs the equipment?
Our installation teams install and commission the equipment. The scope for each project is agreed in the contract.
What warranty do you give?
Warranty terms depend on the equipment and are agreed per project in the contract.
