The Decision to Invest in a Modern Chute
Riverview Veterinary Group find they are involved in a lot more hoof trimming than a typical veterinary practice. Jim Kelleher states ‘you would go far to find another vet trimming as many cows as he!’ Jim, along with other vets in the practice believe that in order to trim effectively, a modern machine is essential

The Ten Napel Pro Trim
Mr. Kelleher had spent a lot of time researching hoof trimming crushes. We had furnished he, and others in the organisation with spec sheets for each machine. Our team strive to be on hand to answer any questions and advise on suitable extras. Mr. Kelleher also took the opportunity to go on-farm with well-known Mallow based hoof trimmer Tim O’Connell. Tim has been operating a Ten Napel unit since 2018. As a result, there was no one better to advise Jim on their decision. Some of the key features of this unit are listed below:
- 1800kg Heavy Duty braked axle
- Underfloor axle for clear cattle walkthrough
- W-Bar as standard for firm foot hold
- Ten Napel Quickmount Braking system
- LED worklights and roadlights as standard
- Side panels which open automatically with the belly band for ease of loading
- 4 function remote control (headgate and back bar)
- 30cm lift system
- Built in road lights
- Ten Napel Quickmount braking system
Overall the Ten Napel Pro Trim is a simple, yet effective, highly maneuverable unit. It has a sleek design with manufacturing built to last.
