    Engineered for simplicity, the Suporhandler allows users to quickly assemble a reliable cattle handling system without hassle. With its easy-fit design, it can be assembled and disassembled rapidly, providing flexibility for both permanent installations and portable operations. The package includes a transport crate with forklift brackets and a 3-point linkage, making the entire system easy to move and set up wherever it’s needed. Whether you’re on a busy farm or handling cattle in the field, the Suporhandler offers a fast and reliable solution that can be adjusted to suit different environments and requirements.

    • Non-Return Ratchet Fins: These fins allow the gate to be pushed with no risk of it returning toward the user, ensuring a safe and controlled environment for both the handler and the cattle.
    • Spring-Loaded Bolt for Forcing Gate: The quick-release bolt allows for rapid operation of the forcing gate, ensuring quick access and smooth transitions during handling.
    • Heavy-Duty Forcing Gate: The forcing gate is designed to withstand heavy use, with Stokbord cladding for added durability and strength. This extra heavy-duty gate provides reliable performance even in demanding situations.
    • Viewing Gap in Forcing Gate: The gap in the forcing gate allows handlers to monitor the cattle’s movement, ensuring smoother flow and greater control during handling.
    • Slide-Over Plates: These plates allow for a seamless transition between race sections, reducing the risk of cattle tripping or hesitating as they move through the system.
    • Curved Exit Panel: The curved design of the exit panel helps guide cattle through the forcing pen, promoting smoother movement and reducing the risk of bottlenecks or hesitation.
