Product Overview	The Heavy-Duty Pivot Squeeze Cattle Crush is designed for controlled restraint of cattle during routine veterinary, breeding, weighing and herd-management procedures. Unlike a basic fixed-width crush, the pivot squeeze structure allows the side restraint section to move inward around the animal, reducing excessive lateral movement and providing more stable restraint for cattle of different body sizes. The reference configuration combines a heavy-duty manual headbail, rear headbail operating provision, dual-side rear sliding-gate control, anti-backing bars, veterinary access and hot-dip galvanized steel construction for intensive cattle-farm use.
Key Features	Pivot Squeeze Restraint: Adjustable side restraint helps limit lateral animal movement during handling. Heavy-Duty Manual Headbail: Robust mechanical head restraint for commercial cattle operations. Front and Rear Headbail Operation: Reference arrangement improves operator access from different working positions. Ratchet Locking Mechanism: Hardened quadrant plate provides secure mechanical headbail positioning. Dual-Side Rear Gate Control: Sliding rear gate can be operated from either side of the crush. Two-Stage Anti-Backing Bars: Helps prevent cattle from reversing during entry and positioning. Walk-Through Vet Section: Provides convenient access for reproductive and veterinary procedures. Sheeted Lower Gates: Lower side panels help reduce the risk of legs extending through the structure. Self-Locking Slam Latches: Designed for fast and secure side-gate operation. Weighing Ready: Mounting provisions are included for compatible livestock load-bar systems.
Structural Components	Heavy-duty galvanized steel main frame Manual ratchet headbail Rear headbail operating linkage Pivoting squeeze-side assembly Dual-side operated rear sliding gate Two-stage anti-backing bars Walk-through veterinary section Side-access gates Sheeted lower side doors Self-locking slam latches Weigh-bar mounting plates
Working Principle	Animal Entry: The rear sliding gate opens and cattle move from the handling race into the crush. Anti-Backing Control: Rear gate and anti-backing bars help prevent the animal from reversing once positioned. Head Restraint: The operator closes the manual headbail and secures it using the ratchet mechanism. Pivot Squeeze: The squeeze side pivots inward to reduce unused space around the animal and provide more controlled body restraint. Animal Access: Side doors and the veterinary section provide access for treatment, identification, breeding or examination. Release: The squeeze pressure and headbail are released before the animal exits through the front of the handling system.

Installation & Maintenance	Install the cattle crush on a strong, level concrete pad and align the rear sliding gate with the cattle race. The front should open into a secure release lane or working pen. Check that the pivot squeeze mechanism operates freely throughout its working movement without structural interference. Apply restraint gradually and avoid excessive squeeze pressure. If load bars are installed, ensure the crush remains isolated from surrounding structures so external contact does not affect weighing accuracy. Regularly inspect the headbail ratchet, hardened quadrant plate, squeeze pivots, sliding gate, anti-backing bars, slam latches and mounting points. Clean manure and debris from moving components and lubricate service points where specified.
Product FAQ	Q: What is the advantage of a pivot squeeze cattle crush? A: The pivoting side structure reduces excess space around the animal, helping limit side-to-side movement and improve restraint during handling. Q: Does the standard configuration require electricity? A: No. The reference headbail, squeeze and gate functions are mechanically operated. Q: Can the rear gate be operated from either side? A: Yes. The reference sliding rear gate is designed for operation from both sides of the crush. Q: Does it include anti-backing protection? A: Yes. Two stages of anti-backing bars are included on the reference configuration. Q: Is the crush suitable for weighing cattle? A: Yes. The reference base incorporates mounting plates for compatible livestock load-bar systems. Q: Is veterinary access available? A: Yes. A walk-through veterinary section is included, and an additional veterinary gate can be specified. Q: Can the crush be integrated into a complete cattle yard? A: Yes. Race panels, forcing pens, gates, weighing equipment and other cattle-handling components can be configured according to project requirements.
