HD Vet Crush
The Vet Area of our vet models offers a split vet gate that slams from both directions and an off-side vet gate with an easily accessed slam catch handle from inside of the crush.

HD Vetless Crush with Squeeze
Perfect for the property that doesn’t require vet access but handles a variety of age groups.

The squeeze coupled with our Top Access Gate is perfect for doing liver biopsies or branding.

The Auto Head Yoke is standard on all of our Cattle Crushes but also available separately should you not require a crush system.
With a movement of a lever at the top of the head bail, the doors will automatically move inwards into the crush to the set position, ready to catch the first animal.
The head bail is closed by the neck or shoulders of the approaching animal, depending on condition. Once the animal is dealt with, the operator has the option of forward release, or backwards and exiting by a side gate. When the animal is released backwards, the doors will only go inwards, allowing a safe approach around the front of the bail to encourage the animal to reverse out.
Following a forward exit, the gates are activated to pass through the closed position and reset, without stopping, ready to catch the next animal.
The width is easily adjusted to suit any sized animal.
The Auto Head Yoke is quiet to use. There is nothing quite like hearing the sweet ‘click’ of an animal catching themselves and the even sweeter ‘click, click’ as the doors reset to catch the next animal.
Every crush offers an abundance of access options.
