Slatted Lids.
Lift one out. Hose underneath. SSAFO done.
Precast lift-out slatted covers for slurry channels and reception pits. Slip-resistant grid finish cast into the top face. Standard, midi and mini catalogue sizes, plus bespoke spans to 5m. Cattle and sheep profiles. Please call to check current yard stock or current lead times.
A slatted lid is a precast concrete cover that closes off a slurry channel while letting cattle dung fall through into the storage below. The slat openings are 38 mm (1.5in) wide for cattle, 25 mm (1in) for sheep. WCCP slats are cast with cast-in lifting eyes so the lid lifts straight out for inspection.
We cast and deliver across England and Wales from the Holsworthy yard. Lids are supplied for your own groundworker to set as part of a full SSAFO retrofit.
- · British Standards compliant
