Running a large-scale cattle operation is not for everyone. You have to handle a huge number of cattle, and your yard equipment must be able to handle it.
Especially your cattle crush, it takes most of the wear and tear. When the cattle keep coming, your equipment must be up to the task without any delay. There is no room for gear that slows down after a while.
So, what makes RPM’s cattle crush truly ready for large-scale work? It's not just size. It’s about strength, ease of use, and being able to handle a full day in the yards without falling apart.

Strength That Holds Up to Heavy Use
The first thing is its strength. That crush will be in the yard with beast after beast, getting kicked, pushed, and scratched. The construction of the equipment decides its fate.
When you’re pushing through dozens or even hundreds of head, you can't be patching up broken welds, rams or joint linkages.
Heavy-duty steel is the standard at RPM. You want proper welds, not spot joins that'll give way in six months. A crush for a big operation should feel like it’s got weight behind it, not just physically, but in how it stands up to the job.
Easy Access & Handling
When working on large scale, there isn’t just one job. Maybe you need to hold one for vaccination and the other for tag or treatment. Staying at the same place will not be very fruitful.
A good crush will give you better access to handle the cattle with its strength.
RPM’s crush gives a nearside and offside option in every model. You must decide which way you want the head bail or lock to be, and how your yard operates. Now you have a crush that works as per your cattle operation.
RPM’s vet cattle crush comes with:
Hydra Lock Ram
Power Lock Linkage System
Rose Joint Linkages
Hydra Squeeze
Split Gates
Self-Locking Rear Door
Anti-Backing Bar
Vet Section
These features make sure that the operator has good access to the cattle and can handle the beast without being in harm’s way.
Room to Handle Bigger Breeds
There could be all types of breeds of cattle you handle. When dealing with larger breeds, big bulls or heavy cows, the crush needs to be in proportion. It is of no use if your crush has no place for the cattle to fit safely.
A cattle producer handling large scale operations will certainly not want cattle wedging themselves into tight space. And if one gets stuck, the day gets ruined.
RPM’s cattle crush is truly Australian. With strong gates, locking points, and squeeze strength, the cattle crush is perfect for Australian breeds. It is specially designed by 3rd gen cattle producers who have handle cattle themselves.
The heavy-duty steel handles the harshest conditions and the biggest stock. Whether you're working a few heads or running a serious operation, there's a crush in the RPM range to suit your setup and budget.
Portable, If You Need It to Be
Not every large operation is based around one set of yards. If you’ve got cattle spread across paddocks or outstations, being able to move your crush might be essential.
That’s where a portable cattle crush comes into play. The better ones are designed to set up quickly and stay stable, on even or uneven ground. They don’t bounce around or shift once cattle are in them, and they’re easy to move when needed.
For large operations with multiple working sites, this kind of portability saves a heap of time and stress.
Tough Gear That Won’t Let You Down
There’s a reason cattlemen choose to stick to their proven ways. Plenty of fancy features and tech are of no use in the yard if it won’t hold itself. It's just the basics.
Vet cattle crush comes under one of the most used equipment of the yard. And if it is not tough enough, it won’t last when the pressure is high.
RPM’s gear fits this mindset well. They’re not just about bells and whistles. Their crushes are made to last season after season without wear and tear.
Off to Buy Yours?
Wouldn’t a good crush just make your job a whole lot easier? It will keep you safe and your cattle calm, under conrol in all conditions. Working in a large-scale setup, these things add up in keeping the yard working.
