Portable Cubicles.
Lift one out. Drop one in. No drilling.
Free-standing precast cubicle beds for re-roofed barns, retro-fits and tenanted lets. AHDB Dairy 2024 sized, cast in C40/50 concrete, drilled to accept the common UK cubicle hoop makes. Lifts in and out with a tractor and chain. Please call to check current yard stock or current lead times.
A portable cattle cubicle is a free-standing precast bed that locks the cubicle hoop into the floor by weight alone — no cast-in upstands, no drilled bolts. WCCP portable beds weigh between 612 kg (1,349 lb) for the Youngstock bed and 872 kg (1,922 lb) for the Cow Plus bed, and lift in and out with a tractor and chain in under five minutes.
The right answer for re-roofed sheds, mixed-make herds, and tenanted units. We cast and supply them from the Holsworthy yard — siting them on your slab is a job for your own tractor and chain.

Where they go
Common applications.
Portable cubicles are the answer when you cannot — or do not want to — fix into the slab. Tenanted lets, re-roofed barns, mixed-make sheds and rearing units all benefit from the lift-and-shift design.
- · Re-roofed barns where existing slabs cannot accept cast-in upstands
- · Tenanted dairy units where the landlord forbids permanent fixings
- · Cubicle rows that flex between groups (dry, fresh, high-yielders)
- · Heifer rearing sheds with multiple age bands rotating through
- · Steel-frame conversions on existing concrete
- · Short-term lets and contract rearing arrangements
- · Mixed-make sheds where one row needs replacing without retrofit
