Large Pig Sorting Board

Product Overview

The large pig sorting board is the biggest shield in the red baffle range, printed on the image with a width of 77 cm, a height of 120 cm and a thickness of 3 cm. It is a tall rectangular red panel covered with moulded reinforcing ribs, two long hand slots at the top, multiple vertical hand slots along the left edge, and two slots near the bottom. The handler holds the board in front of the pig to block its line of sight and direct movement. The extra height of this model covers the body of a full-size sow or boar, so the animal cannot see over the top and bolt.

This large size is chosen for moving sows between gestation and farrowing rooms, for guiding boars during mating checks, and for loading heavy finishing pigs onto trucks. Because the board is tall, one handler can stand behind it with confidence even against a pushing adult pig. The bright red colour and the multiple grip slots make the board easy to hold in any orientation, which matters during long loading sessions.

Key Features and Benefits

• Large 77 by 120 cm size - tall enough to cover full-grown sows and boars.
• 3 cm thick rigid face - the solid panel blocks line of sight without flexing.
• Twin top handles - two slots let the handler steady the board with both hands.
• Multiple side and bottom slots - several grip positions allow sideways steering and low-angle pushes.
• Moulded reinforcing ribs - the grid pattern keeps the tall panel stiff while staying manageable.
• Bright red colour - highly visible in barns, loading bays and alleys.

Materials and Quality

The board is moulded in bright red engineering plastic with a smooth front face and a dense grid of reinforcing ribs on the reverse. The tall 120 cm panel relies on these ribs to stay rigid, since a plain sheet of that size would flex badly. The hand slots are cleanly cut with rounded internal edges, so the handler can grip firmly in several positions without wrist abrasion. The red plastic resists ammonia air and hoses cleanly, and each board is checked for cracks, slot edges and surface finish before packing.

How to Use and Maintain

Slide both hands through the top slots to steady the board, or use a side slot for sideways steering and a bottom slot for low-angle pushing against a reluctant pig. Place the board between handler and pig, and use the tall solid face to block line of sight. Never strike the pig; visual blocking and gentle pressure are enough. After use, hose off manure and stand the board vertically to dry. Inspect the ribs and slots for cracks regularly, since a tall board under heavy pressure is the one most likely to show fatigue.

Applications

This large baffle is used in breeding units that move sows between gestation stalls and farrowing rooms, for guiding boars during mating checks, and in loading bays for heavy finishing pigs. The 120 cm height covers the adult pig body, which is essential because a sow that can see over the board will often turn and run back. It is also used during vet checks and hoof trimming, where a solid barrier keeps the handler safely behind the board.

Farms typically keep the large board specifically for adult pigs, while using the medium board for finishing sections and the small board for the nursery. Distributors stock the large size as the premium SKU of the range, and it is commonly shipped together with sorting gates, alley panels and handling equipment for breeding farms. Because the board is tall, it also works well as a temporary barrier across a doorway when moving a single sow out of a stall. The multiple grip slots mean the handler can hold the board high to block line of sight, or low to push against a reluctant animal, which is a useful range during breeding work. The bright red colour is also a safety signal in loading bays, where truck drivers can see the handler behind the board.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: Why is the large board taller than the medium?

The 120 cm height covers the body of a full-size sow or boar, so the animal cannot see over the top and bolt. This is the key reason to choose the large size for adult pigs.

Q2: How thick is it?

The printed thickness is 3 cm, with reinforcing ribs that keep the tall panel rigid under pressure.

Q3: How many grip positions are there?

There are twin top handles, multiple vertical slots along the side, and two slots near the bottom, so the handler can choose a suitable grip angle for each pig.

Q4: Can I use it for finishing pigs too?

Yes, but the medium board is usually lighter and more manageable for 60 to 120 kg pigs. Reserve the large board for sows, boars and very heavy finishers.
