5CBM Cubicle Bedding Spreader | PL Series Hammer-Type with Auger System

HerdMech Truck-Mounted Livestock Bedding Spreader | PL Series — Hammer-Type Cubicle Bedding Material Spreader with Auger Conveying System

The HerdMech Truck-Mounted Livestock Bedding Spreader (PL Series) is a high-efficiency, purpose-built spreading machine designed to mechanize and streamline cubicle bedding distribution across modern dairy and livestock farms. Developed by mounting a precision spreading system onto premium commercial truck chassis, the HerdMech PL Series replaces slow, labor-intensive manual bedding tasks with fast, consistent, and highly controllable mechanical spreading — saving time, reducing labor costs, and improving bedding quality across every stall in your barn.

With seven models ranging from the compact PL-05 to the large-capacity PL-30, the HerdMech PL Series covers operations of all scales, from small family farms to large commercial dairy facilities. Each model is engineered around the same core platform: a robust truck chassis, a high-torque power system, an auger-based material conveying mechanism, and our proven hammer-type spreading structure that delivers uniformly distributed bedding material at distances of 0.5 to 5 metres — adapting to any barn width or stall configuration.

Engineering Excellence — Precision Built for Every Barn

Premium Commercial Truck Chassis Every HerdMech PL Series spreader is mounted on a high-end commercial truck chassis from leading manufacturers including Foton, Sinotruk (HOWO), and Shaanxi Auto (Shacman) — delivering the structural rigidity, load-bearing capacity, and long-term durability required for daily heavy-duty farm operations. Sturdy, reliable, and built to last.

World-Class Engine Performance The PL Series is powered by engines from internationally acclaimed brands including Cummins, Weichai, and MAN — delivering strong power output, extremely low failure rates, and excellent fuel economy across extended daily operating cycles.

High-Torque Planetary Reduction + Hydraulic Direct Drive Auger System The auger conveying system is positioned at the front of the hopper box and driven by a high-torque planetary reduction motor combined with hydraulic direct drive — allowing operators to select from multiple motor sizes and configurations to achieve precise torque variation based on material load and density. This ensures consistent, controlled material flow under all operating conditions.

Hammer-Type Spreading Mechanism At the heart of the HerdMech spreader is its hammer-type spreading structure, which produces highly uniform bedding distribution across a spreading distance of 0.5 to 5 metres with exceptional output volume. Whether spreading sand, straw, sawdust, or compost-based bedding materials, the hammer mechanism ensures even coverage across every cubicle — without clumping, gaps, or excess waste.

Dual-Door Bedding Port with Precision Output Control The bedding material outlet features an inner and outer double-door system for precise, operator-controlled material discharge. The inner door connects to a hydraulic cylinder to adjust material output height from the hopper. The outer door provides additional control via hydraulic cylinder adjustment or manual screw mechanism, allowing the operator to fine-tune bedding spreading distance and material density with accuracy.

Arc-Shaped Streamlined Hopper Body The hopper is designed with a fully enclosed, arc-shaped streamlined body — enhancing structural strength while eliminating heavy and cluttered frame reinforcements. The streamlined form reduces overall equipment weight, improves vehicle stability, and ensures the hopper is completely sealed to prevent material leakage during loading, transport, and spreading operations.

Auger Interior Conveying System — Sealed & Leak-Free Material movement within the hopper is managed by a built-in auger conveying system, which provides a simple, highly reliable mechanism for transferring bedding material from the hopper to the spreading outlet. Robust components and a fully sealed design ensure zero material leakage throughout the entire spreading cycle.

Dual Reverse Camera System For safe and efficient operation, the HerdMech PL Series features a dual-channel reverse camera system: one camera monitors material levels and conditions inside the hopper in real time, while the second camera provides a clear rear road view — enhancing operator awareness and safety during reversing and spreading maneuvers.

Cab-Mounted Hydraulic Valve Control The hydraulic control valve is installed directly at the base of the cab, making it easily accessible to the operator without leaving the vehicle. This design minimizes operational complexity, simplifies maintenance, and further reduces the risk of system failures during daily use.
