Cattle Handling Trailer

Description

Key Features

The trailer is equipped with a hydraulic chin scoop, designed to facilitate safe and efficient handling by raising the animal’s head for better access and control. The unique “always locked” squeeze mechanism ensures the animal is securely held at all times, enhancing safety for both the handler and the cattle. Whether you prefer a manually operated or automatic head yoke, this trailer offers flexibility in operation, catering to different handling preferences and situations. The design allows complete access to the animal for inspection, treatment, or any other necessary procedures, making it suitable for all breeds and sizes.

Two sliding doors and an access kiosk simplify the process of moving animals in and out of the crush, while the access kiosk enhances operator safety and convenience. Housing for weigh equipment, an optional feature, can be integrated into the holding section, allowing for accurate weight monitoring. The anti-slip bars and chequer plate flooring ensure a secure footing for animals, reducing stress and the risk of injury.
