Product Name Sheep Turnover Crate with Weighing System
Product Image sheep turnover crate for livestock handling
Product Overview The Sheep Turnover Crate with Weighing System combines animal restraint, controlled turnover and livestock weighing in one practical handling station. It is designed for installation within a goat-farming-equipment/" target="_blank" class="keylink">sheep race or livestock handling yard, allowing operators to process animals efficiently while reducing repeated handling between separate work areas.

After a sheep enters the crate, the adjustable restraint mechanism secures the animal before it is rotated into a convenient working position. This provides clear access to the feet, head, udder and rear area for hoof trimming, dosing, tagging, inspection and other routine flock management procedures.

When equipped with compatible load bars and a digital livestock indicator, the same station can capture live weight during processing. Electronic identification integration can also be specified for farms requiring individual animal records and performance monitoring.
Key Features
  • Combines sheep restraint, turnover and live-weight measurement in one handling station.
  • Suitable for installation within fixed or modular sheep race systems.
  • Adjustable restraint arrangement accommodates different sheep body sizes.
  • Turnover positioning provides convenient access to feet, head, udder and rear areas.
  • Front head restraint supports controlled handling during tagging and treatment.
  • Suitable for hoof trimming, dosing, tagging, inspection and routine flock management.
  • Compatible with livestock load bars and digital weighing indicators.
  • EID-compatible weighing configurations are available for individual animal management.
  • Galvanized steel construction provides corrosion resistance for demanding farm environments.
  • Can be integrated into complete livestock handling, penning and sheep farm projects.
Structural Components

Main Galvanized Frame: Provides a rigid structural base for repeated livestock handling and turnover operations.

Adjustable Restraining Section: Holds sheep securely and can be configured for animals of different body sizes.

Turnover Assembly: Allows the restrained animal to be rotated into an accessible working position.

Head Locking Unit: Controls the head position for identification, tagging and routine treatment.

Entry and Exit Gates: Guide animals through the crate as part of an organized sheep handling flow.

Load Bar Mounting Structure: Supports integration with compatible livestock weighing sensors.

Digital Indicator Bracket: Provides a practical mounting position for the livestock weighing display.

Race Connection Points: Allow the crate to be incorporated into existing or newly designed sheep race systems.
Working Principle Sheep are guided from the holding area into the turnover crate through the handling race. Once the animal is correctly positioned, the adjustable restraint mechanism is closed to limit unnecessary movement. The operator can then turn the restrained sheep into a stable working position, providing convenient access for hoof care, veterinary procedures, tagging or inspection.

For weighing operations, the crate is supported by compatible load bars that transmit the animal's live weight to a digital indicator. Depending on the selected control package, weight records can be associated with visual identification or EID data for flock performance management.

After the required procedure and weighing are completed, the animal is returned to the normal standing position, released and directed toward the exit race or sorting pen.

Customization Options SHEWUYOU can configure the Sheep Turnover Crate with Weighing System according to flock size, sheep breed, handling frequency and farm layout. Available options may include frame dimensions, restraint range, race connection design, gate arrangement, weighing load bars, digital indicators, indicator brackets and EID integration.

The equipment can also be coordinated with sheep hurdles, holding pens, forcing pens, drafting gates, footbath systems and complete livestock handling facilities. Project configurations are available according to local climate, building conditions and operational requirements.
Installation & Maintenance Install the turnover crate on a firm, level foundation and align the entrance and exit with the sheep race to maintain smooth livestock movement. When load bars are installed, the weighing structure should remain level and free from contact with surrounding gates, floors or structural members that could influence weighing performance.

Check gates, locking mechanisms, hinges, restraint components and turnover points regularly. Weighing cables and load bar connections should be protected against livestock impact and mechanical damage. Remove manure, wool and debris after use and inspect the galvanized surface for damage during routine farm maintenance.

Digital indicators and electronic identification equipment should be installed and maintained according to the selected manufacturer's operating instructions.
Project Cases Typical projects position the turnover and weighing crate between a forcing pen and an exit or drafting section. This arrangement allows sheep to be restrained, weighed and treated during a single pass through the handling system.

For larger commercial farms, the crate can form part of a complete sheep management facility incorporating holding pens, races, drafting gates, EID equipment, footbath sections and livestock data recording systems.
