M1 Milk Train Rail Hook
Individual replacement hook for M1 or Lamb/Kid Milk trains sold separately.
Extend milk feeder life
Fits Lamb/Kid & Calf M1 Feeders
Suits Lamb/Kid Milk Trains
This replacement hook is to suit the M1 (Calf or Lamb/Kid) and Lamb/Kid Milk Train rail milk feeders. Strong plastic rail-hooks with gripping teeth and high tensile strength to firmly grip any rail or pipe up to 38mm thick. Supplied each and not as a pair.
What It's Used For
This is a replacement rail hook for the Shoof M1 Calf Feeder and M1 Lamb/Kid Feeder systems, as well as the Lamb/Kid Milk Train rail feeders. If your existing hook has cracked, broken or worn out, this individual replacement part lets you get your milk feeding setup back up and running without replacing the entire feeder unit.
Made from strong plastic with gripping teeth and high tensile strength, the hook is designed to firmly attach your feeder to any rail or pipe up to 38mm thick. It's a practical, cost-effective way to extend the working life of your milk feeder rather than throwing out an otherwise functional unit. Supplied individually — not as a pair.
Fit the replacement hook onto a suitable rail or pipe up to 38mm in diameter. The gripping teeth are designed to lock the feeder securely in place and prevent slipping or tipping during feeding sessions.
Before fitting, check that the rail or pipe is clean and free of grease or debris that could affect the grip. Confirm the hook is fully seated and holding firm before attaching the feeder and filling with milk.
Inspect the hook regularly for cracks, wear or loosening, especially during heavy use periods. Rinse with clean water after each use and allow to dry thoroughly before storage to prevent build-up and degradation of the plastic over time.
Tips for Best Results
- Check the hook is locked on firmly before each feed — a loose hook can tip the feeder and waste milk or cause feeding issues with young stock.
- Rinse the hook with warm water after every use to remove milk residue, which can sour quickly in warm Queensland weather and become a hygiene risk.
- Keep a spare hook on hand so you're not caught short if one breaks during a busy feeding period — especially handy during calving or lambing season.
- Store in a clean, dry spot out of direct sunlight when not in use, as prolonged UV exposure can weaken plastic components over time.
- Double-check compatibility with your existing feeder model before purchasing — this hook suits the M1 Calf Feeder, M1 Lamb/Kid Feeder, and Lamb/Kid Milk Train systems.
