Key Features & Benefits
- HD Rotary Crowd Tub. The heart of the system, this rotary tub allows for smooth and controlled crowding of cattle into the race. Its curved sheeted panels encourage natural movement, reducing hesitation and bruising.
- Hot-dipped galvanised steel construction. Built to last, the entire structure is galvanised for superior rust resistance and strength, ensuring reliable performance in all weather conditions.
- Curved Panels for Flow & Welfare The curved design improves cattle flow and reduces bruising, promoting animal welfare and reducing handling time.
- Walkway & Platform Access Integrated handler walkway and platform provide safe, elevated access for monitoring and intervention during crowding and drafting.
- Adjustable Width Curved Race Tailor the race width to suit different cattle sizes and flow rates, improving throughput and reducing stress.
- Adjustable V-Straight Race Before Crush. This transitional race section improves flow into the crush, reducing bottlenecks and improving animal entry compliance.
- 3-Way Air Draft Module with Access Gates. Pneumatically operated draft gates allow for fast and accurate sorting. An optional upgrade to a 5-way draft module is available for more complex operations.
- Automation-Ready Integration Designed to work seamlessly with the HD2000 Series Auto Crush, enabling autonomous weighing and drafting when paired with a compatible indicator. Includes remote control for head bail and draft operations (crush sold separately).
