Applications and Usage

The Paxton AT24 is designed for practical use across a variety of farm environments and is equally at home in indoor housing or outdoor paddock settings. Its end-fill design simplifies installation along fence lines, stable walls, and yard edges, while the 227-litre capacity is well matched to medium-sized livestock groups, reducing refill frequency and supporting steady animal hydration throughout the day. The smooth one-piece interior is quick to brush out during routine cleaning, helping to maintain water quality and hygiene standards across all livestock types. Frost resistance down to -40°C ensures dependable performance in winter conditions, while the UV-stabilised MDPE body retains its structural integrity under prolonged sun exposure during the summer months. The AT24 is a popular choice for equestrian yards, mixed farming operations, and dedicated beef or dairy units where a reliable, self-regulating water supply is essential for stock welfare and productivity.

The AT24's one-piece body also eliminates the internal joints and seams found in fabricated metal troughs, removing potential leak points and significantly reducing long-term maintenance obligations for farm managers.
