Need to move a big chicken coop without the heavy lifting? The Hen House Collection Hydraulic Wheel System makes it simple! This smart wheel kit uses hydraulics to lift and lower your coop with — no straining or struggling required.
What are hydraulics?
Hydraulics use fluid power to help lift heavy things with very little effort. When you push down the lever, it uses pressure to raise the coop off the ground. Then you can roll it wherever you want. When you’re done, step again to gently lower it back down. It’s easy, safe, and smooth!
This system is designed for larger coops, including these Hen House Collection models:
Q610C, Q68C, Q612C, Q714C, Q716C, Q718C, Q720C, Q728C, Q732C, Q1016C, and Q1018C.
The hydraulic wheel system is perfect for chicken keepers who want to move their coop to fresh grass without breaking a sweat. It gives your chickens new ground to explore while helping keep the yard clean and healthy.
Coop and run sold separately.
Make moving big coops easy and fun — with the power of hydraulics!
The Wheel Kit is not available for individual sale and must be purchased together with a Hen House Collection Chicken Coop, as the coop structure requires specific modifications to accommodate the wheel kit.

Your product will be delivered with yard placement services, right to your property. To ensure a smooth delivery, please confirm the following site access details: a driveway width of at least 12 feet is required (14–16 feet is ideal if there are tight turns, gates, fences, or trees), with a straight access path of 60–70 feet for the delivery truck to back in or drive out. Overhead clearance must be at least 13 feet to avoid wires or branches. The ground must be firm—gravel, concrete, or hard-packed dirt—and able to support 12,000+ lbs.
The trailer needs a driveway that's 12–14 feet wide, and the path should be clear, level, and strong enough for a big truck. The unit can slide off the trailer straight back or to the side, but it usually has to stay within 10–15 feet of the trailer. If the unit needs to be placed farther away or in a tight spot, extra equipment like a forklift or crane might be needed, which can cost more. Cranes are only used for special setups and usually have a reach of 20–30 feet.

- Secure beams with 1/2" rebar driven 3-4 feet into the ground
- Maintain open sides for drainage and air circulation
3. Concrete Slab Foundation
- Recommended thickness: 3-4 inches
- Subbase: 4 inches of gravel or crushed rock
- Excavate to 6 inches depth
- Install vapor barrier
- Use form boards and stakes
- Pour and level concrete
