Equifork – The 2 in 1 pitchfork

Our vision is to be our customers' first choice while buying a pitchfork, by providing a product that makes mucking out more efficient and sustainable. We strive to offer our customers the best customer service possible and guarantee reducing waste of clean straw while mucking out. This reduction of clean straw will limit the negative impact on environmental aspects. The Equifork company is based in Arnhem, the Netherlands. The Equifork will be sold in The Netherlands and will expand to Europe when a customer base is created in the Netherlands.  

What makes the Equifork unique? The Equifork is a combination of the traditional metal pitchfork and the plastic pitchfork. The benefits of both products are combined into one pitchfork. It is completely made of metal, so it has a high durability, but it has more pins than the traditional metal pitchfork, which guarantees that no small pieces of manure can fall through.   

This company will mostly focus on sustainable development goal 12, which ensures sustainable consumption and production patterns. Especially goals 12.2 and 12.5 are taken into account, which are achieving the sustainable management and efficient use of natural resources, and substantially reducing waste generation through prevention, reduction, recycling, and reuse.  

Product description

The Equifork consists of 4 long metal pins with small metal pins attached in between the long pins. The long pins are made to easily muck out straw, while the short pins are made to pick up the small pieces of manure, so these pieces will not fall through. 

Meat the team

Equifork is founded by four ‘Equine, Sports and Business’ students of Van Hall Larenstein in Velp. Together, we make sure that mucking out becomes easier for horse owners.
