GROUND ENGAGING POSTS AND PANELS

  • All permanent ProWay cattle yard posts are concreted in the ground for added strength
  • Every panel is made specifically for the individual job. Panels are built to suit the design rather than designed to suit the panels
  • All posts are hot dipped galvanised which is superior to electroplated pipe
  • For temperate breeds standard post size is 80NB medium wall (4mm) OD=88.9mm.
  • 100NB post upgrade is available for extra strength and longevity

Rotary Force

  • Manual or remote options available
  • Gate follows cattle around rolled panels reducing area encouraging cattle to enter the race
  • Padded brake drags around rolled panels and locks in position
  • Braced overhead for strength and durability
  • Sheeted panels aid stock movement and operator safety

  • Provide quick safe access around yards
  • Implemented in key areas within the yard design to maximise efficiency, particularly the force and working areas
View Product

POUND YARD

  • Sheds can be designed around yards, alternatively yards can be designed around an existing shed to maximise coverage and utilise columns and space

ELEVATED WALKWAYS

  • Elevate operators to a safe, comfortable working height above stock
  • By following the walkway around the force yards and race the operator is able to encourage stock flow from a more commanding position
  • Non-slip walkway mesh
  • Cut and installed onsite to ensure neat and robust fit
  • Concreted in ground for strength
View Product

120 Cattle Rail

  • 120CR panels and gates stand at 1750mm and include 5 x 120mm rails and 100NB galvanised pipe posts
  • Panels are generally made with a post at one end and a curved plate at the other which are welded on site
  • The 120 x 48mm rail is an excellent visual barrier, while the 2mm wall thickness and DuraGal® zinc coating provide the highest strength and longevity on the market (min. zinc coating 100g/m3)
  • 120CR is generally utilised on tropical cattle operations, however has been applied to southern ProWay facilities and cattle studs where high strength is paramount
View Product

97 Cattle Rail

  • Cattle panels are made from five 97 x 42mm cattle rails and stand at 1.75m
  • ProWay’s cattle rail has been developed specifically for use in yards.
  • Rails are made from high tensile (grade 450) galvanised steel
  • Panels are generally made with a post at one end and a plate at the other which are welded on site

View Product

50NB Pipe Rail

These rails are an extra heavy duty galvanised oval extrusion, 53mm x 35mm

  • The oval profile of tube presents a flat vertical surface, giving excellent visibility with no sharp edges
  • Standard panels have 6 rails and are set at 1050mm high
  • Large gaps between top rails to minimise leg injury to sheep or dogs
  • Posts are fully galvanised 50NB pipe and where swinging gates are longer than 2.5m, 80NB posts are used for strength
View Product

40NB Pipe Rail

  • The 40NB pipe rail range is available in a 6 rail configuration, 40NB (48.3 OD) galvanised pipe rails
  • Rails are crimped and welded to fully galvanised 80NB (88.9mm OD) posts
  • 100NB post upgrade is available for extra strength
  • Panels and gates are braced for strength when over 2.5m

32NB Pipe Rail

  • The 32NB pipe rail range is a lighter alternative to the cattle rail made from six 32NB (42.4mm OD) rails and stands at 1.75m
  • It is an economical alternative for backyards and holding yards
  • Rails are crimped and welded to fully galvanised 80NB (88.9mm OD) posts
  • Panels and gates are braced for strength when over 2.5m

Overhead Bracing

  • Gates can be upgraded to include overhead bracing
  • Single gates are braced with a 40NB pipe
  • Double gates span over 3.1m are braced with 50NB pipe
  • Gates are braced at 2.2m (from the ground) as standard or up to 3.3m for throughways which require high clearance (i.e. horseback/machinery)
View Product

Lever Haz Catch

  • 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 the 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
View Product

POPLAR SLAM CATCH

  • Poplar slam catches are another option for our standard gate range and are fitted to one side of the rail
  • Due to the lever handle, gates fitted with poplar catches are simple and quick to open and can be thrown shut
View Product

H-RACE ¾ SHEETED INSIDE, FULLY OUTSIDE

  • The H-Race has full sheeting on the outside of the race preventing distractions effecting stock flow
  • The inner arc of the race is sheeted ¾ of the outside height to allow visibility and access to stoc
  • Races are available at any length and are designed with suitable radial arcs to promote stock flow
  • Strength is given by the combination of a heavy duty galvanised frame and underground concreted bracing
  • ProWay can also build non-sheeted H-Races using any of our standard rail options
View Product

V-RACE ¾ SHEETED INSIDE, FULLY OUTSIDE

  • The V-Race includes a fully sheeted outer arc which prevents legs and heads getting out
  • These sections are also made as safety release gates. They can be quickly opened to free overturned stock with two bolt catches (both high and low) so gate sections have no flex
  • The inner arc of the race is sheeted ¾ of the outside height to allow visibility and access to stock
  • The ‘V’ profile also minimises the chance of small stock turning around in the race
  • The curve of the design gives better draw up the race, with stock circling past the operator
View Product

ADJUSTABLE SIDED RACE

  • The lever operated system allows for quick adjustment between widths of 850mm and 600mm at increments of 50mm
  • The race gives flexibility as they’re suitable for multiple breed, size and age operations
  • It also stops smaller cattle turning around
  • It can be implemented to suit both curved and straight race options
  • Eliminates the necessity of a calf race
  • Optional overhanging rail allows unrestricted access to cattle
  • Can be adapted to pneumatic or sliding race gates
View Product

V-OVERHANGING RAIL

  • ProWay have developed an overhanging bracing system that allows fluid movement for the operator while treating cattle, without jeopardising strength and top rail height
  • Without the overhanging rail there are points in the race that can be hard to access due to post obstruction
  • The overhanging rail creates a continuous gap that allows access to cattle at any point within the race
View Product

Sliding Gates

  • Two styles of sliding gates are available
  • The conventional pull out sliding gate has no overhanging track on the operators side. The gates are reversible and can be used from either side
  • The alternative style is designed for use with walkways. The gate opens away from the operator. They’re operated by a lever type handle which drops down out of the road
View Product

View Product

Standard Chain and Catch

  • Chains and the ProWay HAZ catch come standard on all 97CR, 120CR and 50NB gates (except double gates which are chain only)
  • For overnight holding and extra security, the chains can be dropped into the inverted “T” slot which is welded to the rail
  • The catch has been developed and patented by ProWay as an effective multi-purpose, heavy duty gate catch
  • For safety, they’re fully contained within the line of the gate and not welded onto the side of the gate
