Product Overview The Modular Adjustable Cattle Pen Gate is a heavy-duty 5-rail livestock gate designed for loose-housing barns, cattle pens, dairy facilities and modular livestock fencing systems. A primary gate section combines telescopically with a matching insert, allowing the required gate length to be configured during installation.

This modular concept reduces the need to manufacture a completely different gate for every opening size. Different primary and insert combinations can cover a wide range of pen openings, making the system particularly suitable for new cattle buildings, barn renovations and standardized livestock equipment projects.

The telescopic sections are used to establish the required installation length; the gate is then secured for normal operation and is not intended to change length while livestock are using the pen.
Key Features
  • Modular Telescopic Configuration: Primary and insert sections combine to create the required gate length during installation.
  • Wide Opening Range: Reference combinations can create gate lengths from approximately 550 mm to 6000 mm.
  • 5-Rail Livestock Design: Heavy tubular rails provide an open but robust barrier for cattle housing and penning applications.
  • Galvanized Steel Construction: Suitable for humid livestock buildings, manure exposure and demanding agricultural environments.
  • Padlockable Spring Bolts: Dual spring-bolt fastening provides practical gate securing and controlled access.
  • Chain Lashing Capability: Gate slam-stile ends can accommodate chain lashing where additional restraint is required.
  • Adjustable Hanging Height: Multi-position hanging sleeves allow the gate to be raised to accommodate bedding build-up.
  • Modular Farm Construction: Compatible gate, panel, post and bracket concepts simplify the design of livestock pen layouts.
  • New Build or Retrofit Use: Suitable for newly constructed steel structure livestock buildings and existing cattle-house upgrades.
Structural Components
  • 5-rail primary gate section
  • Telescopic gate insert section
  • Heavy-duty hanging stile
  • Gate slam stile
  • Large-diameter top and bottom tubular rails
  • Intermediate tubular livestock rails
  • Fully welded sleeve assemblies
  • Hinge pin with retaining chain
  • Dual padlockable spring bolts
  • Eyebolts and connection fittings
  • Protective tube and bracket caps
  • Optional heavy-duty drop bolt
Structural Principle The gate consists of two coordinated structural sections. The primary section receives the gate insert telescopically, allowing the installer to select a suitable overlap and create the required finished gate length.

After the correct opening dimension has been established, the sections are fixed together to form a rigid livestock gate. The telescopic construction is therefore an installation and sizing feature rather than a continuously adjustable operating function.

Multiple hanging sleeves allow the completed gate to be repositioned vertically. This is useful in straw-bedded cattle housing where floor level can rise as bedding accumulates.

Installation & Maintenance Installation:
  • Measure the clear pen opening and select the appropriate primary and gate-insert combination.
  • Slide the insert into the primary section to establish the required finished gate length.
  • Maintain the required structural overlap between telescopic sections according to the installation specification.
  • Secure the primary and insert sections before the gate is placed into livestock service.
  • Install suitable hanging and slam-post brackets and check that the gate swings freely.
  • Select the appropriate vertical hanging position according to floor level and bedding conditions.
  • Confirm spring bolts, hinge pins and optional locking components operate correctly before introducing cattle.
Maintenance:
  • Inspect hinges, spring bolts, structural rails and welded sleeve sections regularly.
  • Check that the gate remains securely fixed at the selected operating length.
  • Remove manure and bedding from areas that could restrict gate movement.
  • Raise the gate using the available hanging positions when bedding build-up requires additional clearance.
  • Inspect bracket caps, pins and fastening components for wear or damage.
  • Repair damaged galvanized surfaces with suitable corrosion-protection material when required.
Product FAQ Q: Is this gate continuously adjustable while in use?
A: No. The telescopic construction is used to configure the required gate length during installation. Once assembled, the gate should operate at the fixed selected length.

Q: What opening widths can the modular system cover?
A: Reference primary and insert combinations can create gate lengths from approximately 550 mm to 6000 mm.

Q: Why is a telescopic modular gate useful?
A: A limited number of standardized components can be combined for many different pen openings, simplifying livestock-building design, purchasing and installation.

Q: Can the gate be raised when straw bedding builds up?
A: Yes. The reference modular system uses multiple hanging positions that allow approximately 305 mm of vertical rise without relocating the primary mounting brackets.

Q: Is the gate suitable for new cattle buildings and retrofits?
A: Yes. Modular gates are suitable for new loose-housing facilities as well as renovation and extension projects where opening dimensions vary.

Q: Can matching panels and posts be supplied?
A: Yes. Complete modular cattle pen systems, including gates, panels, posts, brackets and related livestock housing components, are available according to project requirements.
