60 x 90 cm Dropping Board

Product Overview

The 60 x 90 cm dropping board is a large rectangular manure tray built for standard layer battery cages, where the tray must cover the full cage footprint and slide out for scheduled mucking. The outer footprint measures about 60 cm by 86 cm, and the 38 mm raised rim is the deepest in the dropping board range, containing more manure and wash water between cleanings. The deep rim also means the tray tolerates longer intervals between pull-outs on extended cleaning schedules.

It is molded in white, red and black, with piece weights of white 1140 g, red 1400 g and black 1420 g. A grid of reinforcing ribs on the underside keeps the wide tray flat as it is pulled out full, and the smooth inner surface hoses down quickly. The large footprint makes it the board of choice for commercial battery sheds that standardize on one tray size across a whole house. Standardizing on one size also keeps spare trays interchangeable across every cage row. Interchangeable spares mean one warehouse box covers problems in any row of the shed. Fewer spare types simplify stock counts for the farm store. Fewer spare types also reduce wrong-part picks during mucking rounds. Fewer wrong picks keep the cleaning crew on schedule.

Key Features and Benefits

• 60 x 90 cm large tray - covers the footprint of standard layer cages with one pull-out board.
• 38 mm deep rim - contains heavier manure loads and splashing water during washing.
• Flat smooth inner face - fast hosing keeps cleaning crews moving through long cage rows.
• Ribbed underside grid - stiffens the large sheet against sagging under load when fully pulled out.
• Three color versions - white, red and black to match farm color coding across zones.
• Pull-out friendly - slides on cage rails for manure management without opening the cage.

Materials and Quality

The board is molded from rigid plastic chosen for repeated wet cleaning. The wide floor relies on the underside rib grid to stay flat, and production checks confirm rim height and overall dimensions against the printed 38 mm figure. Weight samples are matched to the printed color weights so replacement boards arrive at the expected load. The deep rim is molded evenly, so water does not pool at one corner during the wash cycle. The deep rim means the tray tolerates manure accumulation over a longer cleaning interval.

How to Use and Maintain

Slide the tray fully under the cage floor so the rim tucks inside the frame edges. On cleaning day, pull the board out by the rim, scrape droppings to the manure channel, and hose the flat surface. Inspect the corners each season for hairline cracks and keep spares for worn trays. Do not exceed the scheduled pull-out interval, since the deep rim performs well when manure does not overfill it and spill over the front. Pull the tray straight out along the rails rather than lifting, to avoid sloshing over the rim. Rinsing from the front edge backward pushes manure toward the channel faster. Faster clearing speeds up the whole mucking round. Faster rounds mean crews finish cleaning earlier in the day. Earlier finishes leave time for other shed tasks.

Applications

This size suits commercial layer battery sheds, parent stock houses and pullet growing units that run long cage rows with pull-out manure trays. It is also used in cage-equipped quarantine and breeding rooms where a large single tray simplifies cleaning logistics.

Equipment distributors stock it as a replacement part, matching the most common cage sizes in the market. Mixed container orders often combine this large board with smaller dropping boards for complete shed replacement projects, and farms upgrading from wooden boards choose it for its smooth, washable surface. Large battery farms often buy by the container, since one size covers the whole shed. Container buyers often mix full container loads with smaller dropping board colors for variety. Mixed colors help staff distinguish cleaning zones at a glance. Color coding also helps when different crews handle different rows. Clear zones also simplify quality checks between rows. Regular checks catch worn trays before they fail during the cleaning round. Routine checks keep the whole shed running without surprises.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How deep is the rim?

The rim stands 38 mm high, the deepest in the dropping board series, for holding manure between cleanings.

Q2: What are the exact outer measurements?

The labeled size is 60 x 90 cm, with a measured outer footprint of about 60 cm x 86 cm.

Q3: Which colors and weights are offered?

White 1140 g, red 1400 g and black 1420 g, all in the same tray size.

Q4: Can it handle daily pull-out cleaning?

Yes. The ribbed underside and rigid plastic build are designed for repeated sliding and washing cycles. Keep a few spares per row so a cracked tray can be swapped during the regular mucking round.
