• Align the rear entrance with the cattle race to encourage smooth animal flow.
• Provide adequate clear working space around side gates and the veterinary section.
• Secure the crush according to the selected foundation and handling-yard design.
• Check headbail, pivot squeeze and sliding-gate operation before introducing cattle.
• Inspect ratchet teeth, locking plates, hinges and slam latches regularly.
• Keep sliding tracks and moving mechanisms free from manure, bedding and debris.
• Inspect anti-backing bars and side gates for deformation or excessive wear.
• Check structural welds, mounting points and galvanized surfaces during routine maintenance.
• Confirm weighing-system mounts and load bars remain correctly aligned when weighing equipment is installed.

Q: What is a pivot squeeze cattle crush?
A: It is a cattle restraint system in which movable side structures pivot inward to reduce excess space around the animal and improve body control during handling.

Q: What are the reference dimensions?
A: The referenced model measures approximately 3152 mm long, 1850 mm wide and 2200 mm high, with a reference internal width of 720 mm.

Q: How is the headbail secured?
A: The reference configuration uses a heavy-duty mechanical ratchet locking system with a hardened steel quadrant plate.

Q: Does the crush include anti-backing equipment?
A: Yes. Anti-backing bars are included in the referenced configuration to help prevent cattle from reversing during handling.

Q: Is veterinary access available?
A: Yes. The reference crush includes a walk-through veterinary section, and an additional veterinary gate is available according to configuration.

Q: Can a weighing system be installed?
A: Yes. The crush includes mounting provisions for compatible livestock load-bar weighing systems.

Q: Is the crush suitable for outdoor cattle yards?
A: Yes. Hot-dip galvanized construction provides corrosion protection for typical outdoor and livestock-building environments.

Q: Can the crush be customized for an engineering project?
A: Yes. Dimensions, access-gate arrangement, head restraint, weighing interface and integration with cattle-yard equipment can be configured according to project requirements.
