Product Overview

The 6-Rail Galvanized Sheep Panel is a portable livestock hurdle designed for goat-farming-equipment/" target="_blank" class="keylink">sheep penning, temporary fencing, holding areas and modular handling systems. Its six horizontal rail configuration provides an open barrier that maintains good visibility while helping contain sheep and lambs during routine farm operations.

The reference IAE design is manufactured from durable galvanized steel and is 1000 mm high. Drilled lugs at both ends allow adjoining panels to be connected using compatible coupling rods, making it practical to create temporary pens, holding yards, races and livestock divisions.

The modular panel format is suitable for commercial sheep farms, breeding operations, livestock handling facilities and steel-structure agricultural buildings. Panel length, connection arrangement and related gates can be configured according to project requirements.

Key Features
  • Six-Rail Construction: Six horizontal rails provide an effective livestock barrier while maintaining airflow and visual access.
  • Galvanized Steel: Durable galvanized construction provides corrosion protection for indoor and outdoor farm environments.
  • 1000 mm Panel Height: Reference configuration is designed specifically for sheep handling and penning.
  • Multiple Length Options: Reference sizes include 1250 mm, 1525 mm, 2500 mm and 3050 mm panels.
  • Drilled Connection Lugs: Lugs at both ends allow adjacent hurdles to be joined with compatible coupling rods.
  • Modular Pen Layout: Panels can be arranged to form holding pens, temporary divisions, sorting areas and handling systems.
  • Portable Farm Equipment: Suitable for temporary or reconfigurable livestock layouts where permanent fencing is unnecessary.
  • Compatible System Components: Can be integrated with sheep gates, sliding-gate hurdles, race components and other handling equipment.
  • Commercial Project Supply: Suitable for livestock farms, distributors, contractors and complete sheep-handling projects.
Structural Components
Horizontal Rails Six steel rails form the primary livestock containment barrier.
End Uprights Vertical end members provide structural support and carry the panel connection points.
Intermediate Uprights Selected longer panels incorporate intermediate vertical supports to maintain rail spacing and structural rigidity.
Drilled Connection Lugs Located at both ends for connection to adjoining sheep hurdles or handling-system components.
Coupling Rod Optional removable rod passes through aligned lugs to join adjacent panels securely.
Galvanized Surface Protective zinc coating improves resistance to corrosion in livestock housing and outdoor environments.
Structural Principle

The panel uses a welded multi-rail frame to create a rigid but open livestock barrier. Horizontal rails resist animal movement while vertical members maintain rail spacing and distribute loads through the panel structure.

At installation, the drilled lugs of adjacent panels are aligned and joined with compatible coupling rods or system connectors. This enables multiple hurdles to be assembled into straight runs, corners, holding pens or larger sheep-handling layouts.

Because the panels are modular rather than permanently fixed, farm personnel can alter pen dimensions and handling routes as flock numbers and management requirements change.

Installation & Maintenance

Installation:

  1. Position the first panel on stable, reasonably level ground.
  2. Bring the next panel into position and align the drilled connection lugs.
  3. Insert the compatible coupling rod through the aligned lugs.
  4. Continue connecting panels to form the required straight run, corner or enclosure.
  5. Install gates or handling-system components at designated access points.
  6. Provide additional support or anchoring where local ground conditions, animal pressure or project layout require it.
  7. Inspect the completed enclosure before introducing livestock.

Maintenance:

  • Inspect welds, rails, uprights and connection lugs periodically.
  • Remove manure, bedding and accumulated dirt from panel surfaces.
  • Inspect galvanized surfaces for damage, excessive wear or corrosion.
  • Check coupling rods and connectors for bending or deformation.
  • Repair or replace panels with damaged structural members before reuse.
  • Store portable panels securely when not in service.
  • Avoid dragging panels unnecessarily across abrasive surfaces to reduce damage to the galvanized finish.
