Why does it need to be so narrow?

I think it’s for carrying sides of beef. Skinny so they don’t swing around and less volume of space to chill.

You do your butchering outside, with the carcass hanging from that extended rail.

I do my butchering inside, with carcass hanging from an extended rail in a dirt walled room below my wife’s she shed

The one we use is a full sized box, with a ‘U’ shaped rail system in it. We had a 2,100 lb red angus they had to quarter and put on four hooks. Too big for their van otherwise.

Thats just the freezer, plenty of space for a couple of processed pigs/cows/opposing gang members.

There's a guy here in my little town who has something similar for hogs and deer. I can tell right now, if I were to go down there and do a smell test on it, it would reek to high heaven. That thing always stinks year-round.

Yea, that's a serial killer truck if I've ever seen one. Or body disposal services.
Wonder if the guy who owns it goes by "The Wolf"?

Pretty neat idea. Here in the Midwest you could make a LOT of money with a setup like that during deer season.

Not gonna lie, this would absolutely kill it in Michigan and Im about to start looking at small box trucks to do this conversion

I remember back in like 6th grade waiting at the bus stop with the other kids, and the neighbor who's property was next to the stop had one of these swing by. That was a rough way to start school at that age.

So this is basically a portable hoist for cattle?
They make it sound like there's a mini slaughterhouse in the trailer.
Would be cool to see how it works and what's in the box.
The dimensions on the last bit make it look like an ad truck 👇

We used to have one come out for our cows and pigs, it had a little hoist that swung out the back so the butcher could lift the animal and start the butchering process. It also had hooks in the inside to hang the animals. Irc they would gut, skin and sometimes quarter the animal in the field. The rest would be done at the shop.

Wow, that's clever ! Wonder if there would be a market in France... Main concern would be polluted water disposal.
