Intradco Global launches a new innovative Pig Lift

Intradco Global launches a new innovative Pig Lift: Intradco Global is the world’s leading air charter specialist for equine, pet, and exotics transportation. They transport animals safely and efficiently, establishing and tracking regulated environmental conditions such as air circulation, humidity, and temperature, based on decades of experience and creative practical solutions.

Intradco Global unveiled their brand new revolutionary Pig Lift this week, demonstrating that pigs can not only fly but also arrive at their aircraft in style!

The Intradco Global Pig Lift is a custom-converted van that allows pigs to move from their lorry transport to their crates at various heights without having to climb any ramps.

Both the front and back of the Pig Lift can be pushed up and down with the click of a button, allowing the pigs to be correctly met at the level they are on their lorry and the level of the crate they are stepping into. Pigs must walk up and down often steep ramps without such technology, which is not only potentially dangerous but also exhausting for them.

The Pig Lift made its debut at Stansted Airport (STN) on April 27th, 2021, with 1,030 purebred registered breeding pigs as its first passengers. They were moved from multi-story lorries that had traveled from Northamptonshire to two and three-story crates without the use of any ramps or manually modified moving pieces.

The pigs then flew to Chengdu Shuangliu International Airport (CTU) in China on AirBridgeCargo’s Boeing 747-8F plane, with a brief stopover in Kazakhstan to replenish their food and water supplies. China has been in desperate need of imported pigs since 2018, when it lost half of its native population to African swine fever, accounting for about 30% of the global pig population.

The Pig Lift from Intradco Global is just one example of the company’s dedication to cutting-edge charter equipment that prioritizes safety, comfort, and animal welfare.

Their livestock stalls, equine loading ramp, and even custom giraffe crates are only a few examples of equipment that is commonly known as ‘best-in-class,’ and the Pig Lift can now be added to that list as well.
