Product Overview
The Cattle Fore Legs Fixed Platform is a specialized support device used in beef slaughterhouses to secure cattle fore legs during the skinning process and breastbone opening operation.
During cattle carcass processing, the fore legs need to remain stable after skin removal begins. Any movement of the carcass may affect worker operation, especially during breastbone cutting and chest opening procedures.
This equipment uses a strong platform structure combined with stainless steel fixing chains to hold the cattle fore legs securely. It provides workers with a stable working position and improves the safety and efficiency of manual processing operations.
The platform is commonly installed in the skinning and carcass processing section, working together with:
Cattle hydraulic skinning machine
Cattle skinning elevator
Breastbone cutting saw
Carcass processing conveyor system
The standard model QE‑C215‑I adopts a heavy‑duty frame structure with an approximate size of 1000 × 800 × 1400 mm. The main components include 80×80×2 mm stainless steel or hot galvanized steel square tubes, checkered steel plate, and stainless steel chains.
Working Principle
After cattle skinning operation begins, the front legs of the carcass are positioned on the fixed platform.
The operator uses stainless steel chains to secure the fore legs and prevent excessive movement during processing.
Once the carcass is stabilized:
Workers can continue hide removal operations.
The breastbone area can be opened safely.
Cutting tools can be operated with better control.
Processing quality and worker safety are improved.
The fixed platform acts as a stable working station between the skinning process and further carcass opening procedures.

Application
The Cattle Fore Legs Fixed Platform is mainly used in:
Beef slaughterhouses
Cattle abattoirs
Halal slaughter plants
Meat export processing factories
Typical processing position:
Bleeding → Skinning → Fore Leg Fixing → Breast Opening → Evisceration
The equipment is installed after the skinning stage, where operators need a stable platform to secure the fore legs before opening the chest area.
It is especially suitable for slaughterhouses that require:
Improved worker safety
Better carcass positioning
Stable manual processing operations
Application Case
Case 1: Middle East Halal Beef Processing Plant
A halal cattle slaughterhouse upgraded its manual skinning section.
Before installation:
Workers manually controlled carcass movement
Breast opening operation was unstable
After installing the fore legs fixed platform:
Carcass positioning improved
Cutting operation became safer
Processing efficiency increased
Case 2: South American Beef Export Abattoir
A beef export plant integrated the platform with:
Hydraulic skin puller
Overhead carcass rail
Breastbone cutting equipment
The fixed platform helped create a more standardized carcass processing workflow.
Advantages
Improves Operator Safety
The fixed chain system reduces unexpected carcass movement.Enhances Processing Accuracy
Stable fore leg positioning improves cutting precision.Durable Construction
Heavy‑duty steel materials withstand long‑term slaughterhouse operation.Low Maintenance Requirement
Simple mechanical structure requires minimal maintenance.Better Workflow Efficiency
Reduces manual assistance during skinning and breast opening.Suitable for Different Slaughterhouse Sizes
Applicable for small, medium, and large cattle processing facilities.
