Dairy farm, Kortesjärvi

For barn buildings, Markin Sähkö’s men always choose KS80 HDG cable ladders. “It’s a good and durable cable ladder for such a climate,” Frames Mäki, and continues, “And yes, we’ve always used Meka. Unless we are forced to choose something else. ” At Laukkonen’s farm, the biggest sales were on the KS80-300 ladder shelf. Cable ladders with a width of 600 are installed on the cables and milk pipes needed by the milking robots.
The back-up power generator will start to run if there is a power failure in the national grid. Preparing for outages is well justified as milking a cattle, more than three times the size of an average farm, by hand twice a day, sounds quite busy.

“Hygiene matters are very precise,” Mäki answers to a question about what is special about electrical work in barns. When going to the building, you always change to the farm’s own work footwear. If you have to pick up more goods from outside of the farm in the middle of the shift, you will change your own shoes when going out. You were allowed to work on your own clothes on this farm, if you had not visited the same dairy farm on the same clothes during the same week. Another special point, of course, is that in modern barns, cows must be allowed to roam freely. Therefore nothing must be at a height, even momentarily, that the farm animal can reach and possibly injure itself or break places.
