Cattle Sliding Gate for Controlled Livestock Flow and Handling Efficiency
Product Overview
The Cattle Sliding Gate is designed to give farmers precise control over livestock movement within a handling system. By allowing animals to be stopped, held, and released as needed, it improves workflow and makes handling operations safer and more efficient.
Installed within an alley or handling race, the sliding gate enables controlled progression of cattle through the system. This reduces congestion, prevents animals from pushing forward too quickly, and ensures better spacing during handling procedures.
Key Benefits
- Controlled Livestock Flow: Stop and release animals when needed
- Improved Handling Efficiency: Maintains steady and organised movement
- Increased Safety: Reduces pressure and overcrowding in the system
- Better Animal Control: Prevents animals from rushing or backing up
- Versatile Application: Suitable for various handling setups
- Durable Construction: Built for long-term use in demanding environments

Designed for Controlled Handling Systems
The sliding gate plays a key role in managing livestock flow within a handling system. By allowing operators to control when animals move forward, it improves timing and efficiency during procedures such as dosing, sorting, and weighing.
When used alongside alley systems, ratchets, and back stops, it creates a controlled and predictable handling environment.
- Sliding Gate: Actively controlled — stop and release animals when needed
- Back Stop: Passive control — prevents animals from moving backwards
