Portable Modular Cattle Handling Race System

The Portable Modular Cattle Handling Race is a flexible livestock handling system designed for temporary cattle yards, pasture locations, veterinary work and farms where a permanent handling facility is unnecessary or impractical.

Individual hurdles, race arches, gates and coupling bars can be assembled in different configurations to create holding pens, single-file races and controlled entry sections. The modular structure allows the system to be expanded, reduced or rearranged according to herd size, working space and cattle-management requirements.

• Portable modular system suitable for field and farm-yard cattle handling.
• Quick assembly and dismantling for temporary or seasonal livestock operations.
• Six-rail cattle hurdles provide secure cattle containment.
• Box-section infillers reinforce the reference hurdle construction.
• Race arches maintain the required working width without permanent posts.
• Gate sections can be configured for left-hand or right-hand opening.
• Modular layout can be enlarged or reduced according to herd size and available space.
• Suitable for connection to cattle crushes, weighing equipment and veterinary handling stations.
• Galvanized steel construction is suitable for demanding outdoor livestock environments.

• Portable Cattle Hurdles: Form holding pens, race sides and livestock-guiding sections.
• Coupling Bars: Connect adjacent hurdles and race components quickly without permanent foundations.
• Race Joining Arches: Maintain race alignment and prevent the hurdles from spreading apart.
• Race Arch with Gate: Provides intermediate livestock-flow control within the handling race.
• Wide Gate Frame: Creates controlled entry or exit points between holding and working areas.
• Rail and Box-Section Frame: Provides structural strength while maintaining visibility through the handling system.

Portable hurdles are connected with coupling bars to form the required holding area and single-file cattle race. Race joining arches stabilize the working alley, while integrated gates regulate cattle entering or leaving individual sections.

Animals move from the temporary holding pen into the narrower handling race and then toward a cattle crush, head yoke, weighing station or treatment area. After use, the system can be dismantled and reconfigured at another location.

• Select firm, level ground with adequate drainage before assembling the portable handling system.
• Lay out the holding area, race direction and gate positions before connecting the hurdles.
• Connect adjoining hurdles securely using the specified coupling bars.
• Install race arches at appropriate positions to prevent the race sides from spreading.
• Check that all gates swing freely and latch securely before cattle enter the system.
• Additional permanent anchoring may be required when the equipment is installed on concrete.
• Inspect coupling bars, hinges, latches and hurdle frames before each handling session.
• Remove manure, mud and accumulated debris after use.
• Replace bent or damaged structural components before the next cattle-handling operation.

Q: Is permanent installation required?
A: No. The system is designed primarily for portable field and farm-yard use, although some permanent fixing may be necessary when installed on concrete.

Q: Can the handling race be made larger?
A: Yes. Its modular hurdle-and-gate structure allows additional sections to be added according to herd size and available space.

Q: What is the reference race width?
A: The starter-kit reference race arch is approximately 840 mm wide.

Q: Can gates open in either direction?
A: Gate sections can be arranged for left-hand or right-hand installation according to the handling layout.

Q: Can the system connect to a cattle crush?
A: Yes. Portable race sections can be configured to direct cattle into a compatible cattle crush or head-yoke system.

Q: Can weighing equipment be incorporated?
A: Yes. Livestock weighing and electronic identification equipment can be added according to project requirements.

Q: Can SHEWUYOU customize the complete portable layout?
A: Yes. Hurdle quantity, race length, gate locations, restraint equipment and livestock-flow layout can be configured according to farm requirements.
