Skinning Machine Options?

I've done a bunch of searching for a clamp system I see a lot of people using, but most of the threads are old and maybe these aren't made anymore?

I already have a ceiling mounted electric hoist and was hoping for just a bottom half station for yotes and coons and maybe even deer. Does anyone make and sell these anymore or do I need to find a shop to make one? Is there such a version or is it even possible to have one where I just hold a metal plate down with my foot to avoid drilling into my garage floor? I don't mind drilling, but we might be moving soon and I'd prefer not too if I can avoid it. I don't really have the volume to justify a big expense, but I'm all about finding a way to save time if it makes sense.

thanks!

Check out Justin Stiens at A & J skinning machines. I believe they are on Facebook. I know he goes by Rookie on the ITT site.

He's a great guy, that makes fantastic equipment.

I am the original designer of that design. I turned them over to A&J Skinners when I quit building them. Any others you may find are just copies of the ones I designed and built for years. Justin is a member here on trapperman as well. You can PM him by clicking HERE. He's a great guy, you won't be disappointed. You can PM me for his phone number as well, if you want to go that route.

Here are a few that I designed and built over the years. Justin can and does build these styles as well...

Original floor mounted skinning machine...



Complete free standing skinning machine...



Hide Gate Skinning Machine...



Hide roller skinning machine...



Swiveling Beaver trough...



Wall Mounted skinning machine (this particular one turns back against the wall when not in use)...



Horizonal skinning machine for skinning across a bench or similar...



Convertible skinning machine that is free standing or mounts in the receiver of your truck...



Standard Reciever mounted skinning machine...

how does that hide gate work, Jayme?

Stalker Fabrications… he’s a Ny guy as well. Check him out on Facebook

Can I assume hide gate style will save some space for vertical set-up?

yes, same as the roller style will.

John Schoeder Grand Island Neb makes some dandy skinners....for shop or reciever hitch.....great welding and design....usually sets up at Neb convention......which will be at Weeping Wells Neb this Sept....John made great cages.....but has sold that business

ADC, thanks for sharing, I didn’t realize there were so many options

yes, Thanks, Jayme!

Glad to help. Those aren't all the options I made. I built custom ones to suit the needs/wants of the buyer. I made ones that angle to the side so guys could skin in a small basement from one bottom corner to the top corner across the room. I build one you could park your truck on the base to hold it in place while in use. I built them to be mounted outside to a telephone pole. Here's an oddball one, the guy knew what he wanted so I built it like he asked. I even built the cog and locking mechanism. ...





I even made them in custom colors...



This one is the original, first one I ever built. Still in use, a lot of years and a lot of critters later....
