Dairy producers all have to deal with the same challenge, which is making sure that the flooring of their barn is safe and productive for their animals.
Too many accidents have occurred in the past, on slippery concrete or even on concrete that is uneven. This all poses a problem to your staff as well as to the livestock. It’s also very important to have those concrete surfaces properly grooved. Many people argue that grooving helps with traction, and we’ll wholeheartedly agree, but it also eliminates 90% of your slipping problems. It also allows for much easier cleaning. For all of these reasons, Vermot has introduced the concrete groover for dairy farms.
Self-Propelled for Efficiency
The self-propelled design of Vermot’s groover is one of its greatest advantages. Operators do not need to physically push the machine, reducing operator fatigue and making the job easier to do. The motorised feature enables uniform grooves to be cut across the whole floor surface in a barn. It is especially suitable for use on long surfaces. This is a tremendous benefit because it enables a farm to rejuvenate a floor finish more quickly while ensuring it is applied evenly across the whole surface through the entire process.
Ease of Use
The groover is designed with user-friendly controls, allowing operators to adjust settings quickly for different floor types. Its compact frame makes it easy to navigate narrow barn aisles, ensuring even hard-to-reach areas can be grooved efficiently.
Safety and Durability
Safety is a top priority. The machine’s robust construction withstands the demanding conditions of dairy farms, while its precise grooving improves traction and reduces the risk of slips. Properly grooved floors can lower slip-related incidents by up to 50%, helping protect both cows and farm staff.
Adapted to Dairy Farm Floors
That has been Vermot’s specialty, ready to take on the dairy-specific concrete, which allows them to cut the groover’s groove to give the cow a place to step without injuring her or the floor. The floor stays safe, durable, and remains easier to care for, which leaves it with the opportunity to need fewer repairs. In most areas, the place of fewer repairs has advantages for cost-cutting and farm efficiency.
With the gas power self-propelled concrete groover combined with ease-of-use and durable construction, Vermot has provided a way for dairies to easily improve the lives of their cows, employees, and the feed slingers who fill the bunk. This again proves that the right equipment can be good for the farm.
