Platform servicing

Regular platform servicing in your dairy shed will ensure the life of your rotary platform and protect your business from unwanted stoppages due to rotary platform failure. Also, not picking up on anything that is set up incorrectly or running as it’s supposed to, can cause a lot of damage if left to run in a poor state.
Donald Engineering recommend regular maintenance of your rotary platform in addition to an annual service. Keeping your platform maintained can save you a lot of money in the long run.
