The Unistock Cattle Crate Headgate design can be operated by one person working alone. This headgate design helps to keep stockmen and animals safe. It can be supplied and fitted to the Unistock cattle crate MK1, Unistock cattle crate MK2 or the Unistock mobile cattle crate, manual squeeze, and hydraulic crush. It can also be provided on its own for use in a race system. 

The unique safety latch incorporates auto catch and auto re-set facilities enabling the stockman to walk away from the headgate after releasing the animal. The gate will re-lock behind the stockman and hold the next animal in line. Incredibly useful for one person working alone with cattle in a race or auction marts needing to pass high numbers of cattle through a headgate in the shortest possible time.

Neck bar adjustment means that the headgate can cater to various sizes, from calves to cows, without needing tools or add-on accessories.

 

Features & Benefits

  • Auto catch and auto re-set facility – allows cattle to move quickly through crate or race section
  • Special arrangement enables manual operation if required – useful in the case of a horned cattle or bull with a neck wider than the head.
  • Adjustable spring-loaded neck bars – Most sizes of cattle can be catered to – safely and instantly – without the need for add-on accessories or tools
  • Poll bar lowers to restrict upward thrashing of the animal’s head – good head control settles the animal, making it easier to tend to them.
    • The poll bar also slides easily up and down on the box section frame and can be locked in the desired position by a simple trigger mechanism.
  • The gate handle is located on the outside of the frame – this allows for safe operation
    • The gate handle can also be used to lock the headgate open when there is a requirement to run through a number of animals
  • The Unistock Cattle Headgate is fully sheeted – this ensures that the animal’s legs and feet do not become trapped
  • Finished complete with hot dip galvanised finish- this prevents rust
