Headlocks – Secure, Efficient and Animal-Friendly Handling
Precision Control for Safer Cattle Management
Designed for fast and stress-free calf work
RPM’s Headlocks are designed to make cattle handling more efficient, controlled, and stress-free. Built from high-tensile galvanised steel, they provide strong and reliable restraint during feeding, treatments, or general handling. The design allows producers to lock and release cattle individually or in groups, offering maximum flexibility across different yard setups.
Ideal for both beef and dairy operations, Headlocks simplify everyday handling while ensuring animal comfort and safety. Their streamlined structure and low-stress locking mechanism make them one of the most dependable tools for secure and humane livestock management.
Smart Handling Made Simple
RPM Headlocks combine practicality and precision. With a smooth operating system, handlers can safely secure multiple cattle at once without causing panic or resistance. The system’s silent operation and ergonomic levers reduce handling time and improve efficiency, whether used in feedlots, barns, or custom yards.
Each unit is engineered for easy installation and compatibility with a wide range of RPM yard components, giving producers the flexibility to upgrade or expand their operations with minimal effort.
