The RPM Calf Cradle is the ultimate cradle for calf marking and general handling. Designed to make the task of cattle handling easier on the back and hip pocket, it guarantees safety for both the animal and operator. The table-style design allows for quick catching and rolling over to a comfortable working height.

Fitted with RPM’s award-winning hydra-lock technology, the cradle allows for infinite tension adjustment and has a ‘whisper quiet’ mechanism, thanks to the unique Hydraulic Ram (see “Hydraulic Ram” link). The Calf Cradle can be purchased with three optional extras which include the following items:

Head Rest: Provides extra support for the calf’s head when in a horizontal position.

Baulk Gate: On tipping the calf over, the baulk gate automatically opens, leaving the calf in a clear opening when back in a vertical position.

Cowl Infill: Necessary when the cradle is not placed against a sheeted race. Stays in place when the calf is rolled over.

The Calf Cradle comes with a range of standard features:

- High tensile steel construction
- Safety features for both calf and operator
- Easily accessible operation by foot and hand
- Patented Hydra Lock strut
- No external protrusions
