DESCRIPTION

The Lewis Brothers Chicken Housekeeper Series delivers unmatched poultry litter management solutions backed by over 50 years of engineering excellence. This comprehensive five-model lineup serves operations from small family farms to high-production commercial facilities, ensuring every grower finds the perfect balance of capacity, power, and efficiency. Each model features the patented conveyor system with expanded metal bars and precision shaker rollers that effectively clean, sift, and level litter while breaking up compacted material and extending bedding life for healthier flock conditions.

The DB-1 (40 HP, 112 cu ft) provides entry-level efficiency for smaller operations. The DB-2 (60 HP, 165 cu ft) offers versatile quick-change capability switching from de-caking to total cleanout in minutes. The DB-2LP (60 HP, 140 cu ft) solves low-clearance challenges with its specialized 65-inch working height. The DB-4 (60 HP, 165 cu ft) focuses on cost-effective de-caking for routine maintenance. The flagship DB-7 (90 HP, 215 cu ft) dominates commercial operations with maximum capacity, 89-inch head width, and heavy-duty construction featuring 2000 series hydraulic motors and 1½-inch shafting.

All models feature fully self-contained PTO-driven hydraulic systems, fast-dump capability, capacity indicator lights, and high-flotation tires for floor protection and stable operation across varying surfaces.
