Juniper Pig Lift
A portable, winch-assisted lift that raises a pig gently off the ground for calm, controlled hoof trimming — legs free, body supported on a padded bar.
Humane handling equipment
Equipment for the people who do this work carefully.
Equipment for pigs in research, veterinary, and sanctuary settings — designed by a 40-year Registered Veterinary Technician for the moments where careful handling is the difference between a stressed procedure and a settled one.
Built for animals who can't speak for themselves, and for the professionals who work hard to give them a calmer day.

The story behind the name
Juniper.
Born with a deformation in her front leg. Dumped on Craigslist at four months old. Given a custom prosthetic by a company that builds them for all kinds of species.
Our flagship lift is named for her.
About
Somnus was built from inside the work.
Somnus was founded by a 40-year Registered Veterinary Technician whose career in animal research put her hands-on with pigs every day — and made the gaps in available equipment impossible to ignore.
Somnus exists to close those gaps — to make handling and procedures calmer, cleaner, and more dignified everywhere they still happen.
