ABSTRACT:
An apparatus used in a dairy barn that facilitates access to the dairy animals for milking, which comprises a fixed platform on which the animals stand during milking, a fixed support surface adjacent and lower than the platform, a floor adjacent the platform and above the support surface that is selectively elevatable between a raised position and a lowered position, means for raising and lowering the floor, and means for restraining the animals on the platform so that they may be milked by the operator. The platform has a configuration that, when the floor is in its lowered position, allows the operator to milk the animals while he is standing substantially upright. The animals are able to approach or leave the platform when the floor is in its raised position.
