The Vink Hip Lifter is a heavy-duty cattle handling tool designed to assist with lifting and supporting suitable weak or down cows when used with appropriate lifting equipment.
Designed for practical farm use, the Vink Hip Lifter features a double-direction spindle for fast adjustment, together with a removable handle that can be particularly useful when working in confined or difficult positions.
The spindle can also be operated from either side of the lifter, making the unit convenient for both left- and right-handed users.
This listing is for the complete Vink Hip Lifter.

A cow hip lifter is a cattle handling device used to assist in lifting suitable cattle that are unable to stand without assistance.
The lifter is positioned appropriately around the hip area of the animal and used with suitable lifting equipment to provide controlled lifting assistance.
Hip lifters are commonly kept as part of cattle, dairy and livestock handling equipment where operators may need to respond to a weak or down cow.
One of the key features of the Vink Hip Lifter is its double-direction spindle.
The spindle is designed to allow fast closure and release, helping the operator adjust the lifter efficiently when positioning or removing the equipment.
This can be particularly useful when working around a down animal where controlled and efficient equipment adjustment is important.
The Vink Hip Lifter incorporates a removable handle.
This is a practical advantage where space around the animal or lifting equipment is restricted, as the handle can be removed when required rather than remaining permanently in the working area.
The spindle can be used from either side of the hip lifter.
This provides additional flexibility when positioning the equipment and makes operation convenient for both left- and right-handed users.
A hip lifter can be a useful piece of livestock equipment to have available on cattle properties, particularly where cows may occasionally require lifting assistance.
The Vink Hip Lifter is suitable for livestock handling environments including:
A hip lifter and a full cattle lifting sling provide different types of support.
The Vink Hip Lifter is a hip-clamp style lifting device designed to provide lifting assistance around the animal's hip area.
A full-body cow sling provides support over a larger section of the animal's body and may be more appropriate where broader or longer-duration support is required.
For producers comparing these two types of cattle lifting equipment, see the Bainbridge Supreme Cow Lifter Sling – Standard & X Large.
The appropriate lifting method depends on the individual animal, its condition and the circumstances in which support is required.
Explore our Cattle Handling Equipment Australia collection for cow lifters, calf pullers, livestock milkers, breeding equipment and other specialist cattle-management tools.
If broader body support is required, compare the Bainbridge Supreme Cow Lifter Sling with this hip-lifter design.

A cow that is unable to stand may have an underlying injury, illness, metabolic condition, calving complication or other health problem.
A hip lifter provides lifting assistance and does not treat the underlying cause of a down cow.
Seek veterinary advice where appropriate, particularly where an animal is injured, unwell or remains unable to stand.
Always use suitable lifting equipment and inspect the hip lifter before use. Position and operate the equipment appropriately and monitor the animal carefully throughout lifting.
