The Benefits of Using Safe-T-Force on Australian Yards

Livestock handling is close to playing bets between a good day and a hospital visit. Working manual and with a machinery, you can sense the difference in safety and how early you can end the day.  

Among the number of equipment available in the market, only some come with measurable benefits. Whether you want safety, productivity, or just a silent day without running and calling after cattle, there’s always an RPM equipment that delivers it all. And that too on the Australian grounds. 

Through this blog we will together discover the benefits of using a Safe-T-Force for managing cattle flow throughout the day. 

Faster Operation 

Sorting cattle into manageable groups or just moving them into the crush shouldn’t feel like wrestling the whole herd at once. Safe-T-Force, a quality-engineered manual system by RPM is designed to keeping things in motion. It’s circular structure and the way the gate locks into place means that once an animal is pushed forward, they stay moving ahead. There’s no chance of sudden turn or distress to the cattle. 

Handling From a Distance 

The biggest risk in any yard is being in the wrong spot when a beast decides to turn or kick. With the Safe-T-Force system, the operator stays behind a protective barrier. You can move the cattle into the race without having to step into the pen with them. By keeping a physical shield between you and the animal, the risk of being crushed or stepped on drops to almost zero. 

Calm Cattle 

Cattle are supposedly calm and peaceful. But if they feel pressured or trapped, they panic, and a panicked animal is a dangerous one. Safe-T-Force uses "low-stress" handling principles, which means guiding the cattle forward using their natural instincts, into a circular motion and in a safe-feeling space, rather than using force. Without any stress, cattle stay calm, cooperates with the handler, moves faster, and don’t lose weight, which benefits cattle producer. 

Less Labour Requirement 

Needing more than 2 people for guiding the herd translates to excessive labour costs. Since the Safe-T-Force system is so well-balanced and the locking mechanisms are so smooth, one person can manage the force easily. It turns a three-person job into a one-person job, saving you time and money on extra hands. 

Built for Australian Yards 

Equipment in this country takes a beating. Whether it’s the heat, the dust, or the sheer strength of a heavy beast, your gear needs to hold up. We build Safe-T-Force with heavy-duty, galvanised steel that won't snap under pressure. It’s a long-term investment, you buy it once, and it works for you every single day for years. 

Measure Benefits Against Manual Handling 

What matters the most is a productive day without any injury to anyone. Safe-T-Force gives a calmer and safer environment to the cattle and a more productive system to beef producers. It takes the manual handling out of cattle work and replaces it with a smart, mechanical solution that respects both the animal and the farmer.
