Easy to use! The E Z Farm Porta Lift utilizes a reliable and efficient winch system. It is completely automatic: no levers to adjust, or brake to set. When lifting, a "clicking" noise is heard; when lowering, it is silent. The handle will not continue to turn if it is released; brake will set automatically. Lift small animals up to 300 lbs. easily and quickly.

Our recommended Winch is a hand operated, posi-brake winch which contains a self-activated, dual pad friction brake mechanism that automatically locks the load securely in position when the handle is released. This prevents accidental loss of load. Safety Note: All winches used with the EZ Farm Porta Lift must be designed for lifting. Winches that are not specifically designed for lifting have the risk of freewheeling handles when accidentally released, endangering the load as well as the operator.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The EZ Farm Porta Lift works great over a chute. When weighing large numbers of animals: place 2 of the wood legs on the back side of the chute and the leg with the winch on the working side of the chute. Utilize a chute with front and rear guillotine gates and the EZ Farm Porta Lift works easily and efficiently.

The tripod is helpful as a lift to aid ill or injured animals recovering from temporary paralysis or other injuries in getting to their feet.

Using our Gambrel Hook with the EZ Farm Porta Lift makes home butchering easier. See our Butchering Supplies page.

Our EZ Farm Porta Lift is recommended for lifting up to 300 lbs. SAFETY NOTE: The EZ Farm Porta Lift is intended to be used for short periods of time. Never leave an animal unattended or unrestrained in the EZ Farm Porta Lift.

The EZ Farm Porta Lift Kit can be purchased without the winch for $84 or with our winch for $182. Our winch is a 1000 LB capacity, hand operated, posi-brake winch which contains a self-activated, dual pad friction brake mechanism that automatically locks the load securely in position when the handle is released. This prevents accidental loss of load. Safety Note: All winches used with the EZ Farm Porta Lift must be designed for lifting. Winches that are not specifically designed for lifting have the risk of freewheeling handles when accidentally released, endangering the load as well as the operator.The EZ Farm Porta Lift Kit comes complete (as seen in picture - winch is optional) with all parts to assemble, except for the three 2X4 legs (this saves on shipping costs).

SLINGS

Our slings are made of durable materials, using heavy 2" D Rings on the handles. We can also custom make a sling with dimensions that you determine. Call for an estimate.

ADJUSTABLE SLING with front and rear straps: Size 14" wide X 33" long (with strap handle 58" long). This sling works well with the EZ Farm Porta Lift for animals up to 300 lbs. The straps enable you to stabilize an animal in the sling. Has added feature of 2 adjustable Front and rear straps with heavy duty snap hook fasteners which are easily attached and removed from the sling. These straps each have a buckle in the center which allows for ease in tightening or loosening the straps as well as easy release of the animal. The slings are easily adjusted to accommodate various animal widths as well as various lengths. Straps can extend from 12" (for small animals) to 46" (for larger animals). They can also be easily adjusted up or down, depending on the size of the animal. These straps have 2 "D" Rings that are sewn on all 4 sides of the sling, which allow the straps to be adjusted from the lower "D" Rings for smaller animals to the upper "D" Rings for the heavier animals This sling is very versatile and is recommended if you are weighing a variety of sizes. It is also excellent for use with the EZ Farm Porta Lift as an aid in assisting injured animals that need help standing.**WARNING: Never leave an animal in the sling unattended or lift the animal more than a few inches from the ground. If the animal is pregnant, consult your veterinarian before attempting to lift. The Weigh Sling is intended to be used for short periods of time, not for lengthy stays. Consult veterinarian if planning to use the sling for purposes other than weighing healthy animals. SAFETY CAUTION: Never allow an animal whose feet are touching the ground to remain in the sling or lift unless the animal is completely constrained or an unsafe situation can occur.

Straps are easily adjustable by pulling on the loose end, extending from 12" to 46". The animal can be released from the sling by releasing the clasps on either end of the strap or by the buckle in the center of the strap..

ADJUSTABLE SLING with front and rear straps - Price: $58.00

REGULAR SLING Size 14" wide X 33" long (with strap handle 58" long). This sling works well with the EZ Farm Porta Lift. It is identical to the adjustable sling except it does not have any of the strap hardware or the straps. We find that it works well with young animals up to about 100 lbs, but is more difficult to use with larger or flighty animals as it may move forward or backward, making it more difficult to keep in the center of the animal..
REGULAR SLING - Price: $36.00

Please e-mail you order if shipping out of the USA as it will need to be calculated separately.
