Product Introduction
The A-Type Ladder Layer Chicken Cage (also known as stepped or cascade cage) is one of the earliest and most widely used cage systems in the transition from free-range farming to intensive commercial poultry production in China. It offers superior ventilation and effectively solves manure removal challenges.
The cage features a stepped arrangement that provides excellent air circulation and easy access for management. Available in 3-tier and 4-tier configurations with horizontal-opening or lift-up doors. Each door holds 4 birds. Full set includes cages, frames, feed troughs, water pipes, drinkers, water tanks and stands. Surface treatments include cold galvanizing, hot-dip galvanizing and powder coating for long-term rust resistance. Ideal for modern poultry farms seeking high efficiency, low maintenance and durable performance.

Technical Indicators
- Material: High-quality Q235 steel with excellent elasticity, resistant to bending.
- Surface Treatment: Cold galvanized, hot-dip galvanized or powder coated – rust-resistant and long-lasting.
- Front Wire: Thickened design for higher strength and structural stability.
- Mesh Density: Densified partition and bottom mesh to prevent feather pecking and cloacal pecking.
- Manure System Compatibility: Designed for conveyor belt manure removal, producing dry granular manure.
- Service Life: Hot-dip galvanized version offers extended lifespan under normal farm conditions.
- Energy Efficiency: Reasonable structure with low energy consumption when paired with automatic systems.
Manufacturing Standards
- Frame and Wire: All main structural parts use Q235 steel. Front wires are thickened for extra durability.
- Mesh Design: Partition nets and bottom nets are densified to effectively prevent feather pecking, cloacal pecking, reduce egg breakage rate and minimize layer fatigue syndrome.
- Door Design: Unique cage door with larger opening space. Feeding position can be adjusted to eliminate crowding and ensure every bird has even access to feed.
- Surface Process: Full hot-dip galvanizing (preferred) or cold galvanizing/powder coating for complete corrosion protection.
- Assembly: Modular design for simple installation and operation. Compatible with standard automatic drinking, feeding and manure belt systems.
- Accessories Matching: Complete set supplied with cages, sturdy frames, feed troughs, water pipes, nipple drinkers, water tank and tank stand.
Product Advantages
- Simple operation and extremely sturdy & durable construction.
- Densified mesh effectively prevents feather and cloacal pecking, lowers egg breakage and reduces fatigue syndrome.
- Full hot-dip galvanizing process + Q235 high-elasticity steel ensures long service life and no bending.
- Thickened front wire and rational structure provide high strength with low energy consumption.
- Unique large-space door design allows flexible feeding positions, eliminates crowding and guarantees uniform feed intake.
- Compatible with conveyor-belt manure removal system that dries manure into granules, reduces environmental pollution and improves manure reuse rate.

FAQ
Q1: What is the main advantage of A-type ladder cages compared with stacked cages?
A1: Superior natural ventilation and much easier manure removal. The stepped design allows droppings to fall freely and air to circulate better, reducing disease risk.
Q2: How many birds can one set hold?
A2: 3-tier 4-door: 96 birds; 3-tier 5-door: 90 birds; 4-tier 4-door: 128 birds; 4-tier 5-door: 120 birds. Each door holds 4 birds.
Q3: What surface treatment do you recommend?
A3: Hot-dip galvanizing is recommended for longest life (especially in humid or high-ammonia environments). Cold galvanizing and powder coating are also available.
Q4: Can it be equipped with automatic manure removal?
A4: Yes. It is designed for conveyor-belt manure systems that dry manure into granules, reduce pollution and allow high reuse of chicken manure.
