Tension-limiting HK 2060 mechanism reduces injury to cow and calf.
6' galvanized shaft. HK Flexi Frame prevents slipping.
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.
- low weight, as the ratchet is made entirely of aluminium
- with 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
