ProWay have a range of features that are catered to Bos Taurus and European Breed Cattle. Our custom design service provides ProWay customers with unique solutions, meaning no two facilities are ever the same.
The ProWay calf race is 1.1m high to stop bigger calves jumping out. It has slam shut gates at both ends for quick closing and a sliding gate positioned to hold one calf before the cradle. The race length is determined by the size of the operation.
Optional
Post size is usually robust 90mm OD, 4.0mm wall galvanized pipe. Some operators, particularly those with less quiet cattle opt for the larger 100mm OD, 4.0mm wall gate posts or even 115mm OD, 4.5mm wall post upgrades are available.
These catches are standard on all 97CR & 120CR gates.
The Spring loaded bolt catch has been developed and patented by ProWay as an effective multi-purpose, heavy duty gate catch.
For animal safety, the catch is fully contained inside the gate, not welded on the side. This prevents bruising to stock and limits damage to catch itself. The catch can be locked open in one movement, so that no part of the bolt is exposed.
This also eliminates the chance of injury to cattle particularly when drafting through yards. The ring pull bolt system is simple to operate from either side of the gate and closes into a fitted pocket on the opposing post. Both the catch and pocket are hot dip galvanised for maximum longevity, minimising maintenance and downtime.
Lever haz catches have been developed and patented by ProWay. For animal safety, the catch is fully contained inside the gate, not welded on the side. This prevents bruising to stock and limits damage to catch itself. The catch can be locked open in one movement, so that no part of the bolt is exposed.
Lever haz catches are particularly useful in situations where catch access is limited.
Generally these catches are installed on the outside of sheeted gates, or where gates need to be operated from a walkway.
Poplar slam catches are another option for our standard gate range and are fitted to one side of the rail.
These are suited to yards without high pressure traffic areas as the protrude from the gate face.
Due to the lever handle, gates fitted with poplar catches are simple and quick to open and can be thrown shut.
ProWay have developed an adjustable width race suited to running varied cattle weight and age classes. The lever operated system allows quick adjustment between widths of 850mm and 600mm at increments of 50mm.
Two style sliding gates are available:
