Built by a Hoof Trimmer, for Hoof Trimmers
Riley Built grew out of more than forty years of hands-on cattle-trimming experience. Founder Bill Riley didn’t design equipment from behind a desk. He built it, used it, tested it, repaired it, and kept improving it through real, day-to-day work with cattle.
To Bill, a chute was never truly finished. There was always a way to make it safer, faster, more dependable, and easier for the trimmer to run and maintain.
Designed Around the Work
That practical mindset is still the foundation of everything we build. Our chutes are designed around the realities of professional hoof trimming: long working days, demanding dairy environments, the welfare of the animal, the safety of the operator, and the simple fact that a trimmer’s livelihood depends on keeping the chute running.
Our Philosophy
At Riley Built, our success is measured by the success of the people who run our equipment.
A Riley Built chute is more than machinery. It represents a family’s livelihood, a professional trimmer’s reputation, and a dairy’s ability to care for its cattle and keep its operation moving. That’s why design, manufacturing, service, and customer support all have to work together.
Professional Equipment, Sensible Investment
Riley Built offers professional-grade stationary, trailer-mounted, and truck-mounted equipment at a far more attainable investment than many larger competitors, without giving up the durability and working capability professional trimmers need. That value comes from practical engineering, factory-direct pricing, accessible service, lower ownership costs, and equipment designed to be repaired in the field.
