The Urban MilkShuttle means an end to the slow, tiring process of feeding calves. The electrically powered shuttle uses the best of German engineering to speed up and simplify this time-consuming job.
Save time, and your back
Working on a farm, there is never enough time. With a never-ending list of jobs, feeding your calves eats into your day – especially if it is some distance to the pens.
Feeding calves is also hard physical work. It’s not uncommon to be moving 100 kg or more of milk several times a day. Over time, that takes its toll on your joints. Any inclines, rough terrain, ice and snow and the job gets even harder.
That’s why the milkShuttle is a boon for hard-working dairy farmers. This brilliantly engineered shuttle slashes the time for feeding (Urban estimate that you can cut 25 minutes feeding time by bucket down to 11 minutes) and takes the strain off your long-suffering back.
