UHAND 12m³ Automated Feed Collection Vehicle – Dairy & Cattle Farm Use
Product Overview
Expanding on UHAND's innovative integrated technology, the FC-12 delivers a larger 12 m³ capacity for farms that need greater volume without sacrificing agility. This advanced machine seamlessly combines feed collection, precise weighing, and re-spreading into a single workflow, digitizing feed refusal management and tracking every kilogram. The result is improved cost control, optimized feed usage, and consistently clean barn environments.
Key Features & Benefits
- Dual-Function Collection & Re-spreading: Collects feed refusals and redistributes them immediately, eliminating the need for multiple passes and saving both time and labor.
- Expanded Capacity for Growing Operations: With a 12 m³ hopper and 4700 kg load capacity, perfect for farms that have outgrown smaller models like the FC-10.
- Data-Driven Feed Management: Equipped with Avery Weigh-Tronix high-precision weighing system (±2 kg), turning previously vague feed waste into actionable data.
- Thorough Cleaning Performance: 1.9 m intake width with integrated brush system achieves >95% recovery rate, keeping feeding areas hygienic.
- Compact & Agile: Short wheelbase allows smooth operation in barns of varying layouts, even in tighter spaces.
Application Scenarios
- Growing Medium-Sized Farms: Ideal for operations where herd size or refusal volume has exceeded smaller models.
- Feed Recycling Programs: Perfect for farms that actively redistribute collected refusals to other livestock groups.
- Barns with Limited Space: Short wheelbase and compact design ensure easy maneuvering in aisles with restricted turning room.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the integrated re-spreading function operate?
After collecting feed into the hopper, the operator can use the built-in bilateral hydraulic belt system to unload and spread feed in a controlled manner to either side of the machine.
What distinguishes the FC-12 from the FC-10?
The FC-12 features a larger 12 m³ hopper, a higher load capacity of 4700 kg (vs 3800 kg for the FC-10), and a slightly more powerful engine under National III standards.
Is operating the dual collection and spreading functions complicated?
Not at all. The self-propelled design, combined with a comfortable cab and intuitive controls, allows a single operator to manage both functions with ease.
