Overview

The Lely Discovery Collector C2 mobile barn cleaner is now available. Contact your local Lely Center today to learn more about how this next-generation manure robot can help improve barn hygiene, animal welfare and daily efficiency on your farm. Watch it in action below!

Lely is proud to offer the newest generation of its innovative manure cleaning robot, the Lely Discovery Collector C2 mobile barn cleaner. Engineered to meet the evolving needs of dairy operations, the Lely Collector C2 builds on the proven performance of its predecessor with powerful new features designed to help improve cow comfort, farm cleanliness and operational efficiency.


Advanced Cleaning for Barn Floors
The Lely Collector C2 uses revolutionary vacuum technology to collect manure from barn floors rather than push or scrape it. Manure is vacuumed and deposited into a centralized pit, helping reduce contamination in walkways. This helps create a cleaner barn floor, which contributes to better hoof, udder and overall animal health, while also saving valuable time and labor.


Flexible Barn Design & Streamlined Integration
Manure logistics are a crucial part of barn layout. The Lely Collector C2 offers superior flexibility by requiring just one central station for charging, dumping and water refilling. The compact installation also means minimal changes to barn infrastructure. The robot operates fully autonomously, with no need for cables or floor gutters, preserving free cow traffic and supporting a safer, cleaner barn environment.


Optimum Cleaning Zones and a Cleaner, Safer Operation
To avoid disturbing cows at the feed fence, the Lely Collector C2 can drive separate, scheduled routes behind the animals at times that suit them best. Its compact, ergonomic design with rounded corners enables it to clean tight spaces and narrow areas with ease. It reaches almost every part of the barn, including cross alleys, separation areas and the waiting area in front of the milking robot. Built-in sensors guide it along pre-programmed routes, ensuring smooth, autonomous operation and providing a clean and safe environment for cows.


Enhanced Performance and Autonomy
The Lely Discovery Collector C2 includes significant upgrades that enhance performance, autonomy and ease of use:

  • Wireless charging and a 24-volt long-life battery provide up to 14 hours of cleaning per day.
  • The water spray system in front enhances manure intake while the rear spray leaves a damp surface for better hoof grip.
  • Its compact design and rounded edges make it ideal for navigating around milking robots, gates and corners.
  • Built-in sensors and pre-programmed routes allow it to drive without cables or gutters.
  • App-controlled scheduling gives farmers complete control to set flexible cleaning times and assign zones right from their smartphone.
  • When the manure tank is full, the robot automatically drives to the dumping station.
Convenient Operation
The Lely Collector C2 is controlled using the Lely Control Plus app. Its intuitive design and easy-to-use interface make it simple for farmers to adjust cleaning routes, spray settings and scheduling, all from their mobile device. This hands-free operation supports greater flexibility and customization for each farm’s unique routine.


Smarter Navigation with Lely Route Assistant
A standout feature now available on both the Lely Discovery Collector C1 and C2 is the Lely Route Assistant. This intuitive tool reduces installation time and simplifies route adjustments, making it faster for Lely Centers to get the system up and running, and easier for farmers to fine-tune performance as their operation evolves.
