AIR CALF CRADLE
RPM Air Calf Cradle
The all-new Air Calf Cradle from RPM Livestock Equipment is designed to take the strain out of calf handling for Australian cattle producers.
Powered by air rather than muscle, it delivers smoother, more controlled operation compared to traditional manual cradles. With just the press of a button, producers can tilt, restrain, and release calves quickly and safely, cutting down on fatigue and improving workflow during busy processing times like branding, tagging, and vaccination.
What sets the RPM Air Calf Cradle apart is its innovative tilting mechanism, which gently rolls the calf onto its side and securely holds it in place. This smart design not only minimises stress for the animal but also keeps the operator in a safe and upright position. There’s no need for bending, lifting, or awkward manoeuvres, significantly reducing the risk of back strain and fatigue for the person operating the cradle. It's a smarter, more ergonomic solution that promotes animal welfare and worker safety.
Built tough using RPM’s proven Australian engineering standards, this cradle is made to last and perform in the toughest conditions. Whether you're managing a few calves or hundreds, the air-powered efficiency and thoughtful design of the RPM Air Calf Cradle will help you process livestock faster, safer, and with less wear and tear on your body—so you can focus on the job and keep moving forward.
