Due to the physical properties of aluminum and its ability to bend and flex under stress, we recommend these trimming stands be used with animals that are already broke and weigh no more than 160-170 lbs.; animals should never be left unattended on stand Unlike others on the market, Weaver Livestock trimming stands are light enough for anyone to carry and durably constructed to handle long days of trimming and clipping. Easy to transport, these stands fold completely flat and feature bolts to help keep the legs secure when carrying. The front and back legs easily fold via strong piano hinges that also help distribute the animal's weight evenly. A wide pad base on each leg provides extra stability. Front legs adjust up and down to level the stand or to elevate the front of the animal. Head piece adjusts up and down for comfort of the animal and ease of trimming. Knobs securely tighten the leg and head adjustments. Rounded corners eliminate sharp edges. Three heavy-duty aluminum cross bars support the wire mesh floor. Measures 24-1/2" W x 48-1/2" L x 19" H in upright position. Satisfaction Guaranteed
