With
a focus on safety and efficiency, calf handling has never been so
easy with the RPM Calf Cradle
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
- Hydraulic Ram
