The UC Davis Large Animal Lift (LAL) is a new device designed by the same people who created the UC Davis Anderson Sling, the gold standard in large animal lifting equipment.  The basic nature of the LAL makes it practical for use by large animal rescue teams and emergency personnel alike.  The LAL is also much more affordable than the UCD Anderson Sling, however, the LAL is not meant to be used for long periods of time.  Instead, for large animals who are unable to stand, the LAL should be used in conjuction with the UCD Anderson Sling.  The information sheet on the UC Davis Large Animal Lift can be found in this Word document.  This document also contains information on purchasing the LAL and requesting training.  Even more information on the UCD LAL can be found here (including an order form and pricing).

PLEASE NOTE:

Use of the LAL without undergoing specific training could result in serious injury to or death of the horse and/or individuals attempting to work with the down horse.
