Your choice depends on herd size, frequency of handling and the type of work you perform. The Ultimate Crush is ideal for high throughput operations. The All Rounder works well for mixed workloads. The Innovator is designed for smaller herds that still need professional efficiency. The Vetless Crush suits producers wanting a simple, effective solution for routine handling. RPM can also help assess your yard layout before recommending the best fit.

Hot dipped galvanising coats the steel inside and out to protect it from rust, moisture and chemical exposure. It is more durable than standard zinc coating. Hot dipped products last much longer when exposed to rainfall, manure, water run off and heavy seasonal use. This saves producers ongoing repair and replacement costs.

Yes. RPM designs tailored cattle yards that match your site layout, herd behaviour and daily workflow. Whether you need a curved race, additional drafting points or a modular extension, RPM builds systems that improve flow and handling efficiency. Every design aims to minimise labour requirements while keeping handlers safe.

Good cattle flow relies on clear sight lines, curved races, non-slip flooring and well-positioned drafting points. Proper entry angles, adequate holding capacity and consistent gate design also play a role. RPM yard designs follow proven behavioural principles that reduce baulking and encourage calm, continuous movement.

Fixed ramps are ideal when your loading height is consistent and you want maximum stability. Adjustable ramps give you flexibility to work with different truck heights and multiple loading tasks. Both styles are engineered for safe footing, strong handrails and quiet operation to maintain cattle calmness.

Headbails and headlocks secure the animal in a controlled, comfortable position. This prevents sudden movements during procedures. With secure access points, operators can work more confidently while cattle experience less stress. RPM’s designs accommodate various breeds and sizes, making them safe for mixed herds.

Yes. Most RPM crushes and platforms can integrate with industry standard loadbars and digital indicators. This helps producers maintain accurate weight records, improve drafting decisions and monitor growth rates. Ensuring correct installation minimises errors and enhances long-term performance.

Well-designed handling systems reduce the number of handlers needed during drafting, weighing and treatment. Features such as curved races, guided entry points and efficient crush mechanisms streamline the entire workflow. This leads to safer operation with fewer hands on the job.

Installation time depends on the scale of the yard and the number of components. Simple crush setups can be installed quickly. Full yard builds with multiple races, holding yards and ramps take longer. RPM provides clear timelines and works to minimise downtime for your operation.

Regular checks of hinges, bolts, moving parts and gate latches keep everything operating smoothly. Cleaning manure build up and ensuring the surfaces stay clear helps maintain the hot dipped finish. Routine lubrication and occasional inspections allow the equipment to perform at peak condition for many years.
