Why Safe T Force Is a Smarter Choice for Modern Cattle Yards?

Safe T Force is a smartly engineered piece of equipment to manage cattle flow mechanically. Avoiding direct contact with the handler, it integrates safety and efficiency in your cattle yard. 

Cattle production has been passed down for generations. Waking up with the sun, attending to the cattle and calves, and ending the day with an aching back. You don’t have to follow along. As a modern cattle producer, your yard needs to be an advanced one too. This blog talks about an essential advancement that can streamline your cattle yard operations. Let’s begin! 

What is Safe T Force and Why Does it Matter? 

A Safe T Force is a livestock handling system built to improve cattle and handler safety. It has sheeted panels and mechanical gate locks and handles to support natural flow of a herd. 

How Safe T Force Improves Safety and Efficiency in Yard? 

Safe T Force reduces human intervention in the modern cattle yard system, making the whole process safer and faster. 

It features: 

Sheeted panels on one or both sides of the path to reduce visual distractions and keep the cattle calm. 

Automatic locking gate so the operator can push the cattle around with it, making it safer for both. 

Elevated walkways and handrail for better accessibility and view. 

Optional operator handles that allow the operator to control the Safe T Force from a safe distance. 

Now, this smart system can be customised to have 2, 3 or 4 sections based on your cattle yard. It improves the natural flow of cattle. While reducing stress and injury, a Safe T Force also improves operational speed to some levels. This way you can get more done in the same amount of time. 

Safe T Force vs Traditional Method 

Traditional beef producers know only the manual way. And it needs a team of four to carry out handling tasks in a traditional cattle yard. Whether cattle need to be sorted in different groups, tasted, vaccinated, secured, weighed, or loaded on a truck, they can’t do it alone for the whole herd. But with Safe T Force one handler is usually enough.

Let’s compare both the methods:

Traditional Methods

• High risk of contact, gate rebound, fatigue

• Elevated stress level due to noise, crowding, and confusion 

• Slower, manual sorting and movement 

• Physical strain is high

• Difficult to expand without more labour 

Safe T Force System

• Minimal contact, brake-lock gates, safe zones 

• Lower stress level due to calm flow and visual shielding 

• Faster, guided flow with mechanical control 

• No physical strain

• Easily scalable with modular sections 

How Safe T Force Supports Modern Cattle Operations 

Modern yards demand technology that balances safety and speed. RPM Safe T Forces align perfectly in the picture.

Let’s look further on the ways Safe T Force supports cattle operations: 

1. Safety: It offers safety to the cattle by keeping it calm in sheeted panels. Because stressed cattle can become jumpy and might harm itself by kicking or pushing panels. The cattle producer working the cattle is also safe because of mechanical and automatic movements. 

2. Time-Saving Efficiency: Streamlined path offers smooth movement of the cattle in the Safe T Force. There’s no need to shout or chase after cattle. You just have to move them through the sections to a yard of any other designated area. 

3. Built for Aussie Conditions: Australia’s terrain is diverse and demanding. From dusty paddocks to rocky hillsides, cattle yards need to be tough. Safe T Force is built with galvanised steel and modular components that stand up to harsh weather and rough use. 

4. Scalable and Customisable: No two cattle yards are the same. Safe T Force can be tailored to suit your herd size, layout, and workflow. Whether you manage 50 head 500 or 5,000 or more you can have a Safe T Force designed for your yard.
