Information About

Hay Elevator




The term ''hay elevator'' also includes machinery involved in the stacking and storage of bales. A typical hay elevator includes an open skeletal frame, with a chain that has dull 3-inch spikes every few feet along the chain to grab bales and drag them along. Prior to Rural Electrification , barns were equipped with a vertical pulley and a horizontal track along which a bale of hay was guided manually.
