Built for long service life with Bird Safety features built in, Bright’s Choice Roaster Cage includes all the features of the Choice Premium but is specifically designed for larger chickens (usually 6 lbs. or more)
Features
Doors
Double Hollow extruded aluminum door with “huck” riveted galvanized door angles provides a wide, easy loading opening. Doors are pre-punched so they can be reversed. Door can be turned over and a new bracket bolted on to give longer door life. Made so galvanized hinge pins can be put in top or bottom of door when reversed. All door hardware is either galvanized or stainless steel for extended life. We use only “6036-T6” aircraft grade aluminum in our extruded doors.
Floors
- Premium green ARMT “ARMORTUF” fiberglass floors. (The predominant floor on the market.)
Nesting
4 on the top (2 at each end) assures alignment and helps reduce cage shifting during transport
Partitions
Top of partitions are welded to floor joist for added structural strength; Vertical partitions are standard at top and bottom on cage ends. Horizontal partition is still available on request.
Forktube
3″ x 8″ x 11 ga. with 3″ x 3″ formed inserts welded into fork tubes for added strength.
Safety
We have specifically designed our hook pocket to be located at the bottom of the cage, attached to the cage base and bumper plate. This will lower the hook placement, and provide an attachment point for securing your cages . All cage securement devices are tested and rated at 3,000 lb. Working Load Limit.
Bumper Plates
Our one piece bumper plates with a galvanized wire partition are Bright’s exclusive design to protect the birds against forklift fork damage while reinforcing structural integrity.
Frame
All front uprights are structural tubing: 1-1/2″ x 2″ x .120 wall thickness
Top
A 20 gauge (.036) thick solid steel top covers from tubing to tubing is recessed for longer life.
Finish
