Juniper Pig Lift
A portable, winch-assisted lift that raises a pig gently off the ground for calm, controlled hoof trimming — legs free, body fully supported on a heavily padded bar.
Designed by Stephanie Rideout · 40-year Registered Veterinary Technician.
How it works
One person, one calm lift.
- 01
Remove the back door. The pig walks in, then the door is replaced and locked behind it.
- 02
Lift with the touch of a button. The winch raises the pig smoothly, up to 32 inches off the ground.
- 03
The pig's legs hang down through the open area while its body rests, steady and supported, on a heavily padded bar — leaving hooves free to trim.
- 04
Once the work is done, lower the lift, remove the front door, and the pig walks right back out onto the ground.
Named for Juniper
The pig this lift is named for.
Juniper was born with a deformation in her front leg. At four months old, she was dumped on Craigslist.
A company that makes custom prosthetics — for all kinds of species — built her one of her own.
This lift is named for her.
