The Stall Shi*fter®


The Brockwood Stall Shi*fter product history.

Harry Hopkins, the inventor, and the Original
Wooden Stall Shifter that went to the John Lyons
Ranch in Parachute, Colorado for a two year evaluation


old style  
With hundreds of satisfied users we continually look for ways to increase reliability and improve performance. As a result of customer input and my wife Anabel's request for a lighter, more female friendly model, I designed the "Little Shi*fter", a rugged, low maintenance, automatic manure and bedding sifting system. It is a single speed, 340 rpm sifting machine that was designed for smaller stables ranging from one stall to ten stalls where sawdust or other very fine beddings are used.

anabelWe call it "Little Shi*fter" because of its size.  It takes the same room to store as a standard wheelbarrow and is collapsible for easy transportation. It's easy to handle, quiet and maneuverable.  Swivel wheels in back make it easier to move around than a shopping cart. You can turn it completely around in an aisle five feet wide. Its all steel construction with baked on powder enamel inhibits rust for a lifetime of use. 


VARIABLE SPEED LITTLE SHI*FTER

shifterThe Stall Shi*fter product line  includes three models, each providing excellent performance in stall cleaning capability. A variable speed model provides flexibility for varying bedding types and conditions.

The SCR speed control gives the operator the option of slowing down or speeding up the sifting speed to match stall conditions and improve efficiency. We generally recommend the Variable Speed Little Shi*fter for customers with more than ten stalls who use wood pellets or fine shavings.

deluxe big wheel The Deluxe Long Bed Big wheel also comes with SCR speed control. The speed control provides a broader speed range and consumes less power. The longer screen  allows the operator to sift more material faster. The through put of the Deluxe Big Wheel is 25% greater. We recommend this machine for barns larger than 20 stalls. Stall cleaning time savings in large barns is a significant labor expense. We recommend one machine per 20 stalls.



Survey results prove that your total investment in a Stall Shi*fter can be recovered in as few as 3 months in a ten-stall stable.  It's an investment that will continue to pay you back many times over for years to come.  Details of this survey.

 

One of my first model original Stall Shi*fters  underwent a 2-year  evaluation for John Lyons at his ranch in Parachute, CO.  A very favorable article published in the December 1999 issue  of Lyons' Perfect Horse Magazine  summarizes the results of the test. It reads:

"..we tested this product extensively, and found that using it saved time, effort and shavings.... we found the dirtier the stall, the more you see the advantage over hand-picking. We found we ended up with a cleaner stall.."   

 

All Brockwood Stall Shi*fters are built with high quality heavy duty materials to provide years of dependable operation. All metal parts have a baked enamel finish or are galvanized. Nuts and bolts are nickel plated. The screen is driven by an industrial grade Leeson gear drive motor. All parts are made in the USA and assembled in our shop in Nashville, IN.
