Swingover parlour for cows
 A variation to the Doubled up parlour is the Swingover Parlour with the notation 8/16 or 20/40. The swingover style uses half the number of milking controller as one control is used for both sides of the parlour and is therefore mounted down the centre of the pit. The Ram, and the Cluster attached to it, is able to swing from one side of the parlour to the next and hence is a cheaper option to a doubled up parlour. However, savings in cost are off-set buy animal throughput but the choice of parlour type is usually determined by the size of the herd, the future requirements and the amount the customer has to spend.
