70 x 80 cm Dropping Board

Product Overview

The 70 x 80 cm dropping board is a mid-large rectangular manure tray for poultry cages that need more coverage than the 50 x 60 cm size but less than the 60 x 90 cm board. Its outer footprint measures about 68 cm by 78 cm, and the 25 mm raised rim keeps droppings and wash water on the tray during pull-out cleaning rounds. The middle sizing makes it a flexible fit for many standard cage openings that do not match the extreme sizes.

It is molded in white, red and black, with piece weights of white 1160 g, red 1160 g and black 1480 g. The underside shows a square reinforcing grid with diagonal braces, stiffening the sheet so it slides smoothly on cage rails even when loaded with a full cycle of manure. The smooth inner face rinses down fast, keeping scheduled mucking rounds on time. The middle size also suits many retrofitted sheds where frame openings do not match extreme sizes. Many older sheds fall into this middle bracket, which is why this size moves quickly. Fast-moving stock means dealers rarely run out of this middle size. Steady demand makes it a safe stock item for distributors. Safe stock items keep dealer shelves filled year round.

Materials and Quality

The board is molded from rigid plastic built for daily pull-out and wash cycles. The diagonal bracing on the underside distributes load across the large surface, and production checks confirm the outer dimensions, 25 mm rim and per-color weights before cartons are sealed. Consistent piece weight helps farms estimate truckload and pallet counts when ordering replacements. The rounded rim edge also protects staff hands during repeated pull-outs. Weight differences by color help buyers estimate pallet and truckload counts at ordering.

How to Use and Maintain

Slide the tray fully under the cage floor so the 25 mm rim sits inside the frame edges. On cleaning day, pull it out, scrape droppings into the manure channel, and hose the flat inner surface. Inspect corners and rim edges each season for cracks, and keep spare boards so cleaning rounds never wait on a replacement. Fully inserting the tray also prevents birds from kicking material out at the front edge. Wash the inner surface after scraping, since the smooth face rinses clean with moderate pressure. Avoid high-pressure jets directly on the rim corners to extend tray life. Gentle washing also keeps the rim edges smooth for years. Smooth rims also protect staff hands during daily pull-outs. Smooth rims reduce small injuries during repeated handling.

Applications

This size suits medium layer cages, breeder grow-out pens and chick starter batteries that sit between small and large tray footprints. It is also a common choice for retrofitting older cage sheds where tray openings measure close to 70 by 80 cm, avoiding the need to modify frame openings.

Distributors stock it as a flexible middle option when customers are unsure whether a cage needs the 50 x 60 cm or 60 x 90 cm board. Mixed-container orders often combine all four dropping board sizes to cover a multi-cage farm, and research stations use it for standardized medium pens. Distributors often keep this middle size in stock because it fits the most cage openings. Carrying it in stock also lets dealers complete mixed-size shed orders in one shipment. One shipment simplifies logistics for retrofit projects. One shipment also reduces handling damage on site. Less damage means fewer trays need replacement after delivery. Fewer replacements keep the project on budget and on schedule. Staying on budget protects the return on the retrofit investment.
