Powered Hog Carcass Hauler

A Powered Hog Carcass Hauler is designed to enable one person to load, transport, and deposit a 1,000+ pound animal with little more than the flip of a switch. Being self-propelled, narrow, and maneuverable, the hauler is designed to access hard-to-reach places. The tracked Action Manufacturing product and the three-wheeled Granite Industries product use a cable winch to pull the carcass into a 45º-angled cradle, whereas the two-wheeled Hog Slat product features a set of serrated rollers that draws the carcass up and onto its carrying platform. Each is powered by a high-amp rechargeable battery.

Cost: $2,800-7,000
