Portable 6-Rail Cattle Hurdle Panel

The Portable 6-Rail Cattle Hurdle Panel is a modular livestock fencing component designed for temporary cattle yards, field handling systems, holding pens and portable working areas. Its six horizontal rails provide reliable cattle containment while maintaining an open structure for visibility, ventilation and straightforward livestock supervision.

The panel is designed for rapid assembly using removable coupling bars, allowing cattle yards to be enlarged, reduced or rearranged according to herd size and available space. Reinforced vertical infills and structural bracing improve rigidity for repeated commercial use, while galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance in outdoor agricultural environments.

• Six horizontal rails provide secure cattle containment with an open livestock-safe structure.
• Reference panel height of approximately 1525 mm for standard cattle handling applications.
• Available in approximately 2440 mm and 3050 mm standard reference lengths.
• 40 × 20 mm RHS bracing improves structural rigidity on the reference design.
• Box-section vertical infills provide additional reinforcement.
• Top connection-lug positioning helps reduce potential leg-trap areas between adjoining panels.
• Removable coupling-bar system supports fast assembly and dismantling.
• Galvanized steel construction is suitable for field and farm-yard environments.
• Modular configuration allows yards to be expanded or rearranged as operating requirements change.
• Compatible with cattle gates, race arches, handling alleys and portable cattle crush systems.

• Horizontal Rails: Six steel rails form the main livestock containment barrier.
• Vertical End Stiles: Provide structural support and carry the panel connection points.
• Intermediate Vertical Infills: Box-section members reinforce the panel and limit rail deflection.
• RHS Bracing: Strengthens the panel structure for repeated livestock handling.
• Drilled Connection Lugs: Align adjoining hurdles and compatible handling components.
• Coupling Bars: Removable walking-stick-style rods connect adjacent panels and frames.
• Galvanized Finish: Protects the steel structure from normal outdoor agricultural corrosion.

Multiple horizontal rails are welded between reinforced vertical stiles to create a rigid but relatively open cattle barrier. Intermediate box-section members and bracing reduce movement and distribute livestock pressure across the panel structure.

Adjacent hurdles are positioned side by side and connected through aligned lugs using removable coupling bars. This creates a continuous modular fence line without requiring every panel to be permanently fixed to the ground, making the system particularly suitable for temporary and mobile cattle handling facilities.

• Portable cattle handling yards.
• Temporary livestock holding pens.
• Field cattle processing systems.
• Beef cattle farms and grazing operations.
• Dairy cattle handling areas.
• Veterinary treatment and vaccination setups.
• Temporary cattle sorting and gathering areas.
• Loading and unloading preparation areas.
• Quarantine and livestock separation pens.
• Farm yards without permanent cattle-handling infrastructure.

• Panel Length: Standard or customized according to yard layout and transport requirements.
• Panel Height: Available according to livestock type and containment requirements.
• Rail Quantity: Six-rail standard configuration or alternative rail arrangements available.
• Tube Specification: Tube section and wall thickness customizable according to structural requirements.
• Vertical Reinforcement: Quantity and position available according to panel length.
• Connection System: Coupling-bar and lug arrangement customizable for compatible yard components.
• Gate Integration: Personnel gates, cattle gates and race gates available according to project requirements.
• Surface Treatment: Designed according to local climate and farm conditions.
• Complete Yard System: Panels can be supplied with crushes, race arches, gates and handling alleys.

• Plan the cattle-yard layout and identify gate, race and holding-pen positions before assembly.
• Place adjoining hurdle panels so their connection lugs align correctly.
• Insert the coupling bars fully through the mating lugs.
• Check that connected panels stand securely before cattle enter the enclosure.
• Additional permanent fixtures may be required when portable systems are installed on concrete.
• Use support posts or anchoring components where additional stability is required.
• Inspect rails, vertical infills, welds, lugs and coupling bars periodically.
• Remove accumulated manure, mud and debris from connection points.
• Repair damaged galvanized surfaces with suitable zinc-rich corrosion protection.
• Replace bent or structurally damaged components before continued livestock use.

Q: What is the standard height of the six-rail cattle hurdle?
A: The reference standard six-rail hurdle is approximately 1525 mm high.

Q: What lengths are available?
A: The reference range includes approximately 2440 mm and 3050 mm long panels.

Q: How are the hurdles connected?
A: Adjacent panels are connected through aligned lugs using removable cattle coupling bars.

Q: Can the system be installed directly in a field?
A: Yes. Portable cattle hurdles are designed for rapid field or farm-yard assembly on suitable ground conditions.

Q: Can it also be installed on concrete?
A: Yes, although additional permanent fixtures or support components may be required depending on the layout and livestock pressure.

Q: Is a taller panel available?
A: Yes. A reference 1830 mm high seven-rail version is also available as a made-to-order option.

Q: Can SHEWUYOU supply a complete portable cattle handling system?
A: Yes. Portable hurdles, gates, race arches, cattle crushes, coupling bars and related livestock handling equipment can be configured according to project requirements.
