A higher quality hip clamp still at a very reasonable price. This model features a double-direction spindle thread to give much faster closure, and particularly release, of a down animal. Often, with cases of milk fever and similar, it is essential to be able to release the cow quickly before she starts pulling away and falling down again. The Standard hip clamp has a powder-coated frame and galvanised mechanical parts with rotating wood handle that can be bolted on either side of the hip clamp.
