If you are serious about volume handling of cattle, from bulls and bullocks down to weaners then THIS is the crush for your operation. The Big Red is based on a 34" model based on the popular Vee Squeeze Crush. This crush is currently being used by large pastoral companies for the purpose of handling large mobs of cattle with little effort, with less labour being required around the crush area. The pneumatic air system we exclusively use is SMC - a world wide company with a large back up service of technical advice and spare parts. The Big Red can be custom built to suit your operational needs, whether it is more or fewer gates, longer, higher or wider. Just discuss your needs with us and we can offer you a crush for whatever your requirements are.

A Vee Squeeze crush with a solid reputation

It was successfully trialed on a Clermont pastoral holding, where large amounts of cattle have gone through since 1995. Our first head bail was extensively used for De-horning and ear marking. A main feature of this head bail is that it can be easily adapted to an existing crush or race. Head bails are manufactured to 28” or 34” modules.
