Hello, This is Vutuk Design and Media, led by Senior Engineer Ashraf Ali Shaikh. With over 15 years of experience in engineering design and industrial fabrication, our agency specializes in creating practical, durable machinery for agricultural and industrial applications. We understand that livestock equipment needs to be "farm-tough"—simple to manufacture, easy to repair, and safe for both the animal and the operator. Questions: Do you require the spray race piping and nozzle layout included in the CAD assembly? Are there specific local safety standards for livestock crush gaps that we need to adhere to? Would you like us to create an exploded view drawing to assist the workshop team during assembly? Is the equipment intended to be modular/flat-packed for shipping, or fully welded on-site? I invite you to visit our profile and portfolio to see examples of our detailed engineering documentation and fabrication projects.
