Our Bespoke department designed and supplied the equipment for this fixed cattle handling system for a customer in 2018, located in Staffordshire.

A key requirement for the customer was that the system needed to fit within a pre-allocated area. Therefore, the system was designed to adjoin the pre-existing cattle housing unit, allowing the handlers to run the cattle straight from their shed to the handling system for routine tasks such as foot trimming, worming, drenching and pregnancy diagnosis testing.

Unique to this system is an increased handling capacity, by making use of holding pens which feature a dog leg within the external panels to increase the number of animals able to fit within the pens. A second unique feature to this system, was additional loading and unloading pens, that was requested by the customer the enforce safe loading and unloading of cattle.

The customer also chose to include a Crusader Plus cattle crush at the front of their handling system, complete with a Cattle Crush Extension to allow for a safe working area to the rear of the cattle crush.
