TECH-LINE STALLING
The Australian Made Tech-Line (Larsen style) stalling system is designed for End Exit installations.
The system can include:
- The bailing or cow location system
- The stall work – or A Frame and kick / breech rail assembly
- Entry and exit gates
- Entry areas
Tech-Line EX1 End Exit Stall System
The Tech-Line E-X1 end exit stall system simply ensures that each cow has her own space to eat and stand while being milked. A relaxed cow will milk more freely, helping to make milking a more pleasant task.
The E-X1 is basically closed to cows on the platform except for the last bail, ensuring cows always walk to the first cow position. As the first cow enters, the flap gate is activated, opening the second bail position, and so on.
Feed bins and adjustable breast rail are all standard features.
The latest improvement to the system is now using a pneumatic compressed air ram on each bail rather than the traditional vacuum cylinder. A pneumatic ram ensures a positive movement every time, being able to lift the gate from between cows that are packed tightly together. This also allows the plant vacuum and reserve to be used for what should be its only purpose – providing a quick, clean and efficient milking.
In a total bailing system we also include an anti-jump bar to ensure the cow cannot jump into the feed bin which could result in damage to the bailing, feed bin or pneumatic ram and controls.

Tech-Line E-X1 Entry Gate Systems
All have wide open areas for easy cow access.
Vertical Lift – Gate Style
This square section gate is mounted on a post, and moves vertically with the assistance of a counterweight. When the anchor chain is released the gate will travel upwards due to the counterweight. The operator then pulls the gate down behind the cow and locks the chain over one of the provided hooks.
The gate has the advantage of swinging to wrap around the back of cows and bring them into the platform.
Pendulum Style (Compressed Air Operation) – Gate Style
The E-X1 pendulum style entry gate is driven off a compressed air ram. This provides a more positive operation due to the consistency of air pressure, and does not use vacuum that is required for a clean efficient milking. This entry gate is lifted by a simple flick of a cable that runs the length of the pit, and falls under its own weight.
Tech-Line E-X1 Exit Gate Systems
The Tech-Line E-X1 Pendulum Style exit gate simply improves on what generations of farmers have known – a simple robust system is essential for day to day operation.
Manual Operation – The gate can be controlled manually off a rail running down the length of the pit and equally spaced handles.
Pneumatic – Pull Cable – The same gate can also be controlled with a compressed air ram. Using the same gate and system, this option is lifted by a simple flick of a cable that runs the length of the pit.
Tech-Line E-X1 Stall work
As part of the integrated Tech-Line bailing system, we can also supply the “stall work” system.
This will include:
- Nibs for the edge of the pit
- Kick rail
- Breach rail
- A frame assembly
- Roof support
- Lead in race system
DAIRY KING STALLING
The Heavy Duty Dairy King Stall system can be configured for both end exit and rapid release installation.
The system can include:
- The bailing or cow location system
- The stall work – or A Frame and kick / breech rail assembly
- Entry and exit gates
- Entry areas
Dairy King Swiftflo End Exit Bailing
The Dairy King Swiftflo bailing has a number of significant features that assist milkers. Cow control while milking is improved dramatically as the bailing system removes any pushing and shoving that typically happens in straight rail dairies. The biggest and most dominant cows have no influence over the smaller and timid cows due to the individual bail position. The unique feature of the tear drop bail locates the cow by the shoulders and not the brisket which means they cannot move away from the breech rail while having the clusters attached. They are very comfortable in the bailing and typically enter the platforms willingly to be milked.
- Bailing setup suitable for varying size cows within the herd
- Individual plastic moulded feed bins and steel frame
- Large capacity air compressor and regulator.
- 2 x air operated platform entrance gates and control handles
- 2 x sets air controls for bailing and entrance gates
DairyKing Modular Stall work
The Dairy King Modular Stall work is part of the total integration of our system. The Stall work begins with the lead up wings from the yard, the single file entrance race and the DairyKing air operated entrance gate. This means the Bailing system and the Stall work fit together as one component without a contractor having to “make” it all on site.
Included components:
- Folded galvanised pit edging with pit overhang to suit
- Trusses across pit to carry all equipment
- Hockey sticks and cross pit milking system carriers
- Kick rails and breech rails all clamped together
- Pit head posts and railings
- Auto ID entrance race (to 2.5m long) up to entrance gates
- Cow yard lead up wings to the entrance race – no side gates supplied.
- The system clamps together which prevents any welded joints in the wet areas of the pit.
Swing Over Dairy – Change to End Exit Dairy
An End Exit dairy can be used for both a swing over or double up milking machine configuration.
Daviesway provide numerous specifications for bailing, milking machine and feeding systems for this style of installation.
Rapid Exit Dairy
A Rapid Exit dairy is normally configured with a double up milking machine. The concept is that when the clusters are removed from the cows on one side, they can exit and the next side in much quicker than in an end exit installation. Therefore, having a dedicated cluster for every cow position optimises performance.
The Dairy King bailing system has a purpose built option for rapid release dairies.
DairyKing Swiftflo Rapid Release Bailing
For this system to meet its full potential the shed size and concrete layout must be considered to ensure cows freely walk away from the bailing.
