The primary function of a cow lifter is to safely elevate a recumbent animal onto all four limbs so she can bear weight and restore normal bodily circulation. Lifting devices typically fall into two main categories:
1.Hip Clamps (Pelvic Lifters): Devices with padded clamps that attach to the pin bones (wings of the pelvis).
2.Full Body Slings (Cradle Lifters): Full-body supports made of durable, tearproof PVC or canvas that cradle the cow from her brisket to her backside, keeping her safely suspended.

- Adjustable Sizing: Clamps and straps can be precisely adjusted to fit various sizes of cattle, preventing injury.
- Padded and Ergonomic Contact Points: Hip clamps are typically rubber-coated, silicone, or leather-covered to prevent skin chafing and pelvic trauma. Slings feature designated cut-outs for the udder.
- Controlled Winch/Pulley Mechanisms: Many heavy-duty setups integrate hand-operated gearboxes (worm drives) or manual pulleys for controlled lifting and lowering.
