Pig Catching Tongs & Pig Catching Rake

The Pig Catching Tongs and Pig Catching Rake are manual livestock handling tools designed for controlled short-duration restraint and positioning of pigs in commercial swine farms, breeding facilities and veterinary operations.

The long-handle construction increases the operator's working reach, while the specialized catching heads help control an individual pig without requiring the handler to remain immediately beside the animal.

Two different catching structures are available: a mechanical clamp-style catcher and a multi-prong catching rake, allowing farms to select a configuration according to pig size, pen layout and handling requirements.

• Two Catching Styles: Available as mechanical catching tongs or a multi-prong catching rake.
• Long-Handle Design: Provides extended working reach for safer and more convenient pig handling.
• Durable Metal Construction: Manufactured from robust metal materials for repeated commercial farm use.
• Stainless-Steel Configuration: Stainless-steel construction is listed for selected product versions.
• Manual Operation: Requires no electricity, batteries, hydraulic system or compressed air.
• Simple Farm Tool: Easy to carry between pens, treatment areas and livestock-handling locations.
• Commercial Swine Application: Suitable for pig farms, breeding facilities and veterinary handling operations.
• Low Maintenance: Simple mechanical construction allows convenient inspection and cleaning.

The catching-tong version uses a long mechanical linkage between the hand grip and catching jaws. When the operator actuates the handle, the jaws close to provide temporary restraint during controlled handling.

The catching-rake version uses a long rigid pole and curved multi-prong head to assist with positioning or controlling pigs in a confined handling area. Both tools should be used gently by trained personnel and should not be used to lift or suspend an animal.

The current product image lists 120 cm and 180 cm reference dimensions but does not clearly identify the measurement basis for each model. Exact overall length, jaw opening, material grade and catcher-head dimensions should therefore be confirmed before ordering.

• Inspect the handle, joints, catching head and fasteners before each use.
• Confirm that mechanical jaws open and close smoothly without excessive looseness.
• Select the appropriate tool according to pig size and the required handling task.
• Use only the minimum restraint force required and avoid prolonged restraint.
• Do not use the tool to lift or suspend pigs from the ground.
• Clean and disinfect animal-contact surfaces according to farm biosecurity procedures.
• Dry metal components thoroughly after washing to reduce corrosion.
• Store the equipment in a clean, dry and protected location when not in use.
