Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

We are a company that specializes in the development and manufacture of hoof trimming crushes. We offer different types of hoof trimming crushes, including mechanical, electric and hydraulic models, to meet the different needs and preferences of farmers, hoof trimmers and animal caretakers.

Defi Woldegk GmbH hoof trimming crushes embody more than 40 years of experience in hoof trimming within our group of companies. The expertise and know-how of our professional hoof trimmers are continuously incorporated into the development and production of our hoof trimming crushes in order to optimally meet the needs of hoof trimmers and farmers. This first-class cooperation enables us to develop, manufacture and offer user-friendly, safe and reliable hoof trimming chutes of outstanding quality. Each of our hoof trimming crushes is carefully handcrafted and manufactured in our production facility in the windmill town of Woldegk. Our company is characterized by superior quality, durability and excellent service compared to our competitors.

Defi Woldegk GmbH is almost the only company to install hydraulic cylinders in hoof trimming crushes, offering decisive advantages over hydraulic motors for the safe and effective treatment of animals. Thanks to their ability to perform precise and controlled linear movements, hydraulic cylinders allow animals to be securely restrained during hoof trimming. This not only improves stability and safety for animals and operators, but also makes the hoof trimming crush easier to operate. The robustness, durability and reliability of the hydraulic cylinders help to ensure that the hoof trimming crush works efficiently under demanding conditions and leads to better results. By using low-noise pumps, the hoof trimming crush provides a silent working environment for people and animals.

Adapting hoof trimming crushes to different breeds of cattle is crucial to ensure effective and gentle hoof care. Each breed of cattle has specific characteristics and requirements that must be taken into account in order to maintain the health and well-being of the animals.
Hoof trimming is an important part of animal health in cattle, as healthy hooves are crucial for the mobility and well-being of the animals. By using breed-oriented hoof trimming crushes from Defi Woldegk GmbH, the animals can be securely restrained and kept in a suitable position for their breed, which increases the efficiency and comfort of hoof trimming. Cattle breeds such as Holstein-Friesian, German Brown Swiss or Fleckvieh have different sizes, physiques and claw shapes, which must be taken into account when designing hoof trimming crushes. By adapting the hoof trimming crushes to the specific needs of each breed, injuries can be avoided and professional hoof care can be carried out. Likewise, the use of breed-oriented hoof trimming crushes helps to minimize stress for the animals during hoof trimming. Proper hoof trimming has a positive effect on the health and performance of cattle and therefore contributes to sustainable farming and animal welfare.
Thanks to our many years of experience and close cooperation with hoof trimmers, we have a deep understanding of the requirements and needs of professional hoof trimming. This knowledge flows directly into the development of our hoof trimming crushes to create user-friendly solutions that meet the highest standards of quality, animal welfare and safety. Our hoof trimming crushes are designed to be easy to operate and have easily accessible controls on both sides as well as flexible tool holders. The safety of people and animals is our top priority, which is why we integrate kick and impact guards into our design to prevent unwanted injuries. Another important feature of our hoof trimming crushes is the belly belt recess, which ensures barrier-free and trip-free passage for the animals. These well thought-out details help to ensure that hoof trimming is efficient, safe and stress-free.
The hoof trimming crushes are designed to ensure safety at all levels. This includes minimizing the risk of injury to both humans and animals.
The animals are securely restrained to prevent uncontrolled movements during hoof trimming. This is achieved using various devices such as a tailgate, chest and belly straps, a head gate and a front foot support. These devices ensure that the animals are kept stable during treatment, thus reducing the risk of injury. In addition, the hoof trimming crushes are equipped with kick and impact protection to protect both the animals and the operators from unforeseen movements or reactions. These safety precautions ensure that hoof trimming can be carried out safely and efficiently without endangering the health and well-being of the animals or the operators.
The hoof trimming crushes are manufactured from high-quality steel and stainless steel, with the appropriate quality carefully selected in each case. Fully galvanized and premium powder coated, our hoof trimming crushes can withstand any environmental conditions and offer high strength, corrosion resistance, durability and reliability. Precise welding processes ensure the stability and strength of the structure to withstand the stresses that can occur when restraining and handling animals. Adapting the statics according to the cattle breeds is an important aspect to ensure that the hoof trimming crush is stable and safe, regardless of the size or weight of the animal being treated.
The use of stainless steel piping on hydraulic hoof trimming crushes offers a clear advantage over conventional hydraulic hoses. Compared to hydraulic hoses, which are subject to high wear and tear and have to be replaced regularly, Defi Woldegk GmbH installs stainless steel piping, which is wear-free and extremely durable. The use of stainless steel piping prevents problems such as leaks, cracks or wear and tear that can occur with hydraulic hoses. This leads to greater reliability and operational safety of the hydraulic system on the hoof trimming crush. The stainless steel piping is also low-maintenance and requires fewer regular inspections and replacements compared to hydraulic hoses. This contributes to efficient and cost-effective use of the hoof trimming crush, as downtimes due to defective hydraulic lines are reduced and the overall service life of the system is extended.

The HY400 hoof trimming crushes from Defi Woldegk GmbH are controlled by VPS hydraulics, which are operated using control levers. In contrast, the more advanced HY600 models have an SP control system (programmable logic controller), which enables silent operation and smooth, precise control using joysticks.

Defi Woldegk GmbH hoof trimming crushes are developed and manufactured by hand at the company headquarters in the windmill town of Woldegk in Germany. Thanks to the close contact between our employees and the hoof trimmers within the group of companies, we are able to take the needs of humans and animals into account in the best possible way. Our hoof trimming crushes meet the highest quality, safety and animal welfare requirements.
