EVO-BED Cubicle Equipment

RS Agri brought working prototypes of their new range of EVO-BED cubicle equipment, designed and built in the UK, to the market in late 2011.  All machines have the CE approved mark.  They have been working on various farms achieving excellent results with good feedback from customers.  The machines have been specifically designed to cope in UK conditions and have been built to a high end specification.
The sweepers’ principal features are that they offer:

• time savings
• labour welfare (no more backache)
• consistent results with every operator

This improves hygiene and helps prevent bacteria build-up.  In addition the combined sweeper/bedder offers savings in bedding materials used.
