Product Overview	The Economy Manual Cattle Crush is a practical entry-level restraint unit designed for routine handling of dairy and beef cattle in farms, breeding operations, veterinary facilities and cattle-yard projects. A traditional lever-operated headgate provides reliable mechanical restraint without requiring electricity, hydraulics or compressed air. The headgate opening can be adjusted to suit different cattle sizes, while veterinary access panels and removable side rails provide convenient access to the animal. Heavy-duty galvanized steel construction, a rear gate, anti-slip flooring and straightforward mechanical controls make this crush suitable for farms seeking a durable and cost-effective cattle handling solution.
Key Features	Economical Manual Design: Provides essential cattle restraint functions without powered systems. Lever-Operated Headgate: Traditional manual yoke provides simple and dependable cattle restraint. Adjustable Head Opening: Quick adjustment allows the headgate to accommodate different cattle sizes. Veterinary Access: Hinged access sections around the headgate improve access to the animal's neck and head area. Removable Side Rails: Provides convenient access to the animal's flanks for inspection and treatment. Removable Lower Panels: Sheeted lower sections improve containment while allowing additional access when required. Rear Gate Included: Controls animal entry from the cattle race into the crush. Rump Restraint: Helps maintain the animal's forward position during handling procedures. Anti-Slip Flooring: Treadplate or rubber-faced floor options provide secure footing. Simple Maintenance: Mechanical construction reduces service complexity and operating costs.
Structural Components	Heavy-duty galvanized steel main frame Manual lever-operated headgate Headgate adjustment mechanism Hinged veterinary access panels Removable upper side rails Sheeted lower side panels Rear cattle-entry gate Rump restraint bar Anti-slip cattle floor Base frame and anchoring points
Working Principle	Animal Entry: The rear gate opens and the animal moves from the handling race into the crush. Head Positioning: The operator selects an appropriate headgate opening according to animal size. Manual Restraint: The operating lever closes the headgate around the neck area and secures the animal for routine handling. Body Access: Removable side rails and veterinary access panels allow operators to reach different areas of the animal while it remains restrained. Forward Positioning: The rump restraint helps prevent excessive backward movement during treatment or examination. Release: After the procedure is complete, the operator releases the headgate and allows the animal to move forward out of the crush.

Installation & Maintenance	Install the cattle crush on a firm, level working surface and align the rear gate directly with the cattle race. The front exit should lead into a secure handling or release area. Secure the base according to site conditions and confirm that all gates, rails and the manual headgate operate freely before introducing cattle. Select the appropriate headgate opening before restraint and adjust the setting when handling substantially different cattle sizes. Regularly inspect the lever mechanism, yoke pivots, rump restraint, gate hinges, removable rails and structural fasteners. Remove manure and feed residue from all moving parts. Inspect galvanized surfaces periodically and repair damaged areas where required. Anti-slip flooring should be kept clean to maintain reliable animal footing.
