How the System Works

This system is designed to guide livestock through a natural and controlled handling process:

Sweep Tub → Alley → Clamp / Sorting → Exit

Each component plays a role in maintaining smooth flow and efficient handling.

Sweep Tub

The Algar Sweep Tub is unique in its design, featuring two gates that swing together to eliminate dead space normally found in half-moon pens.

  • Handles 30–35 ewes at a time
  • Available in 900mm or 1200mm height
  • Eliminates the need to chase animals
  • Promotes constant flow into the system

Sliding Gate

The Sliding Gate provides control within the system by allowing you to stop and release animals when needed.

  • Quick sliding operation
  • Strong and durable construction
  • Keeps animals positioned within the crush

Adjustable Alley (6.5m Standard)

The Adjustable Alley ensures controlled movement and prevents animals from turning.

  • Adjustable width from 500mm to 250mm
  • Extends in 3m increments
  • Ideal for handling smaller animals
  • Improves flow and reduces delays

Sheep / Goat Neck Clamp

The Algar Neck Clamp provides secure and precise control during handling.

  • H-type clamp design
  • Opens full width of the alley
  • Locks in small increments to fit any animal size
  • Ideal for dosing, inspection, and treatment

2-Way Sorting Gate

The 2-Way Sorting Gate allows efficient separation of livestock.

    • Sort animals into two groups
    • Includes removable stop gate for flow control
    • Improves organisation and handling efficiency
  • Closed Alley:
    Restricts animal vision, reducing distractions and improving forward movement
    • Open Alley:
      Allows visibility while maintaining containment

This system is built to handle real-world livestock conditions, ensuring reliability, durability, and ease of use. By combining multiple components into one structured system, it allows farmers to work smarter, reduce stress on animals, and improve overall productivity.
