Cattle Crushes
Safe, Strong & Reliable Handling Solutions for UK Livestock Farms
Cattle crushes are one of the most essential pieces of equipment on any livestock farm, providing a safe and secure way to restrain cattle for routine husbandry, veterinary work and performance monitoring. A well‑designed crush protects both the animal and the handler, reducing stress, improving safety and making everyday tasks faster and more efficient.
Whether you run a small beef herd or a large dairy enterprise, investing in a high-quality cattle crush is vital for maintaining welfare standards, improving workflow and ensuring long-term productivity.
Why a Quality Cattle Crush Is Essential
Our range of cattle crushes includes manual crushes, pneumatic crushes and fully featured models designed to meet the demands of modern UK farming. Built for strength, durability and ease of use, these crushes provide reliable performance in even the toughest yard environments.
Cattle are powerful animals, and safe handling requires equipment that is strong, stable and designed with animal behaviour in mind. A good crush:
- Reduces stress by allowing cattle to move calmly into position
- Improves safety for handlers during dosing, tagging, foot trimming and veterinary inspections
- Speeds up routine tasks, saving time and labour
- Supports welfare compliance by ensuring animals are handled humanely
- Minimises injury risk for both livestock and operators
With UK farms increasingly focused on efficiency, welfare and data‑driven management, a reliable cattle crush is a cornerstone of any handling system.
