Loading Chutes

Hog Slat manufactures stationary and portable loading chutes for moving pigs between barn facilities and transport trailers. Hog Slat loading chutes are designed to be used in finishing barn, nursery barn, sow farm and other swine production facilities. Load chute models are available in multiple options with various features to meet the pig loading needs on every farm.

Stationary Loading Chutes

Hog Slat’s stationary loading chutes are designed for permanent installation outside a barn load-out door or exterior holding pen. Manual and electric winch systems are available to adjust load chute height as needed. Stationary loading chutes are available in 20’ and 28’ lengths.

All standard stationary loading chute models require a ground lift I-beam unit and either a manual or electric winch kit system to complete installation. (Additional equipment sold separately)

Loading crew personnel can navigate the chute and control pig flow using the walk board mounted on the exterior of all outside walkway chute models.

Outside Walkway Models

The outside walkway model of stationary loading chute features an exterior walkway board that runs along the length of a chute on one side, allowing loading personnel to manage pig flow from any point along the alley way.

• Metal roof cover kits are available as an added option
• Threshold plates provide a smooth transition for pigs between chute alley way and transport trailer decks
• Treated plywood or corrugated metal wall panel options are available
• Treated wood plank floors standard, composite plank floor option available

Inside Walkway Models

Inside walkway model stationary loading chutes are designed with a walkway for loading personnel separated by a wall partition from the alley that pigs travel through. The interior walkway provides additional adequate space to maneuver along the chute length as well as protection from the exterior side wall of the loading chute body.

Inside walkway models feature an interior wall partition that separate pigs and loading crew workers.

• Threshold plates provide a smooth transition for pigs between the chute alley way and transport trailer decks
• Treated plywood exterior side walls, walkway partition, and treated wood floor planks help reduce noises when loading pigs
