Description of goods
The product is an agricultural animal handling system for restraining specifically cattle in order to examine and treat them. The crush is used to restrain cattle in a safe environment to allow farmers and vets to safely examine and treat the animals. The crush has a self-locking headgate so when the animal walks forward through the chute, its shoulders activate the head locking mechanism and the animal is secured in the headgate. There are also two (2) different manual cords for a handler to activate the head locking mechanism if necessary. There are five (5) side railings between the animal and the handler to minimise dangerous movements by the animal. There is a rear gate that locks in place to stop animals from backing out of the chute. The crush is made of galvanised steel. It is comprised of steel tubes and sheets of varying sizes and lengths. The standard length of the crush is 4.8m, although this can be modified depending on customer's needs. The standard height is 2m and it is 900mm wide. The crush is manufactured by laser cutting and welding steel tubes and plates and then hot dip galvanised for strength and durability. The crush is then assembled and installed. This crush is unique because when it is not in use, it folds flat against the wall. It does this by using drop down posts that secure the crush into the floor when in use and linkages in the posts that allow it to rotate and fold flat against the wall when not in use.
