A milking installation for the milking of cows, more or less permanently installed in rows of stalls, wherein milking members to be applied to the teats of the cows are connected or connectible to a milk pipe and a vacuum pipe and supported by a carriage, which is movable along milking stations at each stall, the milking members being movable along guideways on the carriage, so as to remain motionless relatively to the milking stations during milking and to move back from the rear end of the carriage to the forward end for renewed adaptation to the teats of further cows during the motion of the carriage along the row of milking stations. The invention comprises also means to perform most of the movements and connecting and release operations automatically so that the main occupation of an operator is to place the teat cups in position on the udders of the cows. The guideway for the milking members on the carriage can be either a closed endless track, one or more movable chains, etc. or only a return track for the milking members during their motion from the rear end to the forward end of the carriage.
