Strap-On Milk Stool
The Strap-On Milk Stool allows one to sit during milking without having to physically carry a stool around. It's a single-leg seat that straps around the dairyman's waist and buckles in front like a belt. A spring on the leg provides cushioning and improves grip on the floor.
Limitations:
Back, Lower extremity, Strength/endurance, Upper extremity
| Need: | To milk cows in a stanchion barn. |
|---|---|
| Problem Description: | Milking in a stanchion barn is much different than milking in a pit-style dairy parlor. In a stanchion barn, the cows are on the same level as the dairy farmer; therefore, he is constantly having to bend down to wash the cows' udders and to put on and take off the milking machines. That type and amount of exertion, plus handling the equipment and the milk, is a daunting challenge for even the most able-bodied dairyman. |
