• Upper Rail: Carries the control rod and locking components across the headlock section.
• Lower Rail: Provides longitudinal frame strength and maintains panel alignment.
• Fixed Uprights: Divide individual feeding positions and reinforce the feed front.
• Pivoting Neck Yokes: Move as cattle place their heads through the feeding openings.
• Adjustable Neck Opening: Allows feeding and restraint geometry to be matched to animal size.
• Self-Locking Mechanism: Retains the movable yoke when the animal enters the locking position.
• Control Rod: Transfers locking and release movement across multiple feeding positions.
• Individual Locking Components: Allow selected animals to be restrained separately.
• Mounting Hardware: Connects the feed-front panels to compatible steel or concrete support structures.

• Confirm cattle size, feed-front length, curb dimensions and structural post spacing before ordering.
• Select the appropriate neck-opening configuration for the animals using the facility.
• Install headlock panels on structurally suitable steel or concrete supports.
• Keep the complete feed-front line level and correctly aligned.
• Tighten all mounting brackets, bolts and connectors before cattle are introduced.
• Test self-locking, centralized release and individual locking functions after installation.
• Confirm that all pivoting neck yokes move freely without abnormal interference.
• Inspect control rods, pivots, locking mechanisms and mounting hardware regularly.

Q: Why use an adjustable-width cattle headlock?
A: Adjustable or configurable neck openings allow the feed front to accommodate cattle of different ages and body sizes while maintaining appropriate feeding access and restraint.

Q: Can the complete row be locked and released together?
A: Yes. The referenced system supports centralized locking and release for efficient herd management.

Q: Can an individual cow be restrained separately?
A: Yes. Individual locking capability is available for selected-animal management.

Q: What reference specifications are available?
A: The reference manufacturer lists specification series 45, 55, 60, 70, 75 and 100. Final dimensions should be confirmed for the selected project.

Q: Is the headlock suitable for heifers?
A: Yes. The neck-opening and feed-position dimensions can be selected according to heifer size and age.

Q: What surface treatment is used?
A: The reference product uses an overall hot-dip galvanized surface treatment to improve resistance to corrosion in livestock environments.

Q: Can the system be installed in an existing cattle barn?
A: Yes. Headlock length, support arrangement and mounting hardware can be adapted to suitable renovation projects after the existing structure is measured.

Q: Can complete headlock sections be customized?
A: Yes. Neck opening, feeding-place spacing, panel length, opening quantity, steel specification and mounting arrangement can be supplied according to project requirements.
