Description

Flexible Design to Suit All Breeds and Setups

The Suporhandler’s height and design are perfect for handling all breeds of cattle. The high panels discourage jumping, keeping cattle secure during handling and helping to prevent injury to the animals or handlers. One of the most versatile features of the Suporhandler is its ability to be set up for left-hand or right-hand operation, offering flexibility depending on your farm layout or specific needs. This adaptability ensures that you can create a setup that works best for your cattle handling operation, whether it’s temporary or permanent.

Additionally, the Suporhandler integrates seamlessly with other LM Bateman portable handling equipment, allowing for easy expansion of holding and race sections. This flexibility ensures that the system can grow alongside your operation, adapting to different herd sizes and handling scenarios as needed.

Specifications for Optimal Performance

The Suporhandler’s design has been carefully crafted to ensure optimal performance and durability. Key specifications include:

Overall Length: 4715mm
Overall Height: 2000mm
Overall Width: 5050mm
Forcing Pen Gate Length: 2350mm
Weight (including hurdles and crate): 820kg

These dimensions make the Suporhandler an ideal size for handling large groups of cattle, while still being compact enough for easy transport and setup. The included forklift brackets and 3-point linkage ensure that moving the Suporhandler is straightforward and convenient, further enhancing its portability.

Key Features of the Suporhandler

The Suporhandler is designed with several innovative features that prioritize ease of use, safety, and efficiency. One of the key elements is the non-return ratchet fins, which ensure that once the gate is pushed forward, it does not swing back towards the handler. This mechanism creates a safer and more controlled environment for both the cattle and the user.

Additionally, the forcing gate operates with a spring-loaded bolt that facilitates quick and easy opening. This allows for fast operation and smooth transitions during cattle handling, minimizing any potential delays. The forcing gate itself is built for durability, constructed with a heavy-duty frame clad in Stokbord, ensuring it can withstand the demands of regular use while providing additional strength.

For better visibility and control, the forcing gate includes a viewing gap that allows handlers to observe the cattle’s movements as they pass through the system. This feature enhances the handler’s ability to manage the flow of cattle effectively, promoting a smoother and more controlled process.

To further improve cattle movement through the system, the Suporhandler includes slide-over plates, which create a seamless transition between race sections. These plates help prevent cattle from tripping or hesitating, ensuring they move confidently through the system. Finally, the exit panel is curved to guide the cattle naturally through the forcing pen, reducing the risk of bottlenecks and encouraging efficient movement.

Durable Stokbord Cladding for Tough Conditions

Built to withstand the rigors of daily cattle handling, the Suporhandler features Stokbord-clad panels for exceptional durability and resilience. Stokbord is known for its resistance to weather, impact, and heavy use, ensuring that the Suporhandler remains in top condition even after prolonged exposure to challenging conditions. This hard-wearing finish offers added protection to the structure and provides a smooth, safe surface that minimizes stress on the animals, while also ensuring a long lifespan for the equipment.

Efficient Cattle Flow and Safety Features

The Suporhandler is designed to promote the smooth and efficient flow of cattle while ensuring the safety of both the animals and the handlers. The curved exit panel guides cattle through the forcing pen and into the race, reducing hesitation and promoting natural movement. This feature, combined with the heavy-duty joining arches and link plates, provides a solid, reliable structure that minimizes stress on the cattle and ensures a more efficient handling process.

The non-return fins on the forcing gate are another key safety feature, preventing the gate from swinging back towards the handler once it has been pushed. This prevents accidental injuries and ensures a safer environment for both the user and the cattle. The heavy-duty link plates and joining arches provide additional reinforcement, making the Suporhandler exceptionally sturdy and reliable during use.

Transport Crate and Portability

One of the standout features of the Suporhandler is the included transport crate, which makes it easy to move and store the system when not in use. The crate is equipped with forklift brackets and a 3-point linkage, ensuring that the system can be safely and efficiently transported using standard farm machinery. This portability makes the Suporhandler ideal for use in multiple locations or for temporary setups, giving you flexibility in your cattle handling operations.
