Safe-T-Force Air – Advanced Air-Powered Safety & Flow for Beef Producers
High Performance, Low Stress Cattle Handling
Designed for fast and stress-free calf work
Safe-T-Force Air is the modern pneumatic technology engineered to significantly improve cattle flow and operator precision in the yard, making handling substantially smoother, faster, and safer. This advanced system replaces demanding manual labor with air-powered mechanisms, allowing handlers to achieve strong, precise control over cattle movement with greatly reduced physical effort.
Built by RPM with high-tensile galvanised steel and advanced pneumatic components, the Safe-T-Force Air system integrates with your yards and races to improve flow and operator safety. Quiet, efficient, and built for Australian conditions, it provides a durable solution for modern producers.

Key Features
- Pneumatic operation to reduce manual effort and improve speed
- Automated locking gate with pneumatic activation for safer handling
- Fully sheeted design to guide cattle, reduce distractions and minimise risk
- Elevated pneumatic control options (walkways, handrails) for safer operator positioning
- Adjustability through air-powered mechanisms allowing smoother entry and exit
- Built to fit modular setups in yards and race systems
What It Means for Beef Producers
Achieve maximum control over your cattle without the exhausting strain of traditional manual systems. This pneumatic assistance significantly reduces physical effort for every operator, leading to faster processing times and actively reducing fatigue and risk on handling days. Cattle move more fluidly, reducing bottlenecks and stress.
With this system, you can expect faster processing times, fewer delays, and more confidence on handling days. Because air-powered systems are quieter and more precise, cattle are less unsettled, and handlers are safer. This leads to better productivity, lower losses, and smoother overall workflows.
Why Choose RPM
- Australian-Made Durability – Solid galvanised construction and pneumatic systems built to handle Australian conditions
- Performance & Control – Pneumatic automation delivers speed, safety, and precision in cattle processing
- Ease of Integration – Designed to work with RPM yards, Safe-T-Force systems, and crushes with minimal retrofit
The RPM Edge for Beef Producers
Safe-T-Force Air systems are developed with producer feedback and refined in demanding yard conditions. With RPM, you get a safer, quieter, and more efficient setup that reduces labor, improves cattle flow, and supports long-term operational success.
Does Safe-T-Force Air work with existing manual systems?
Yes, it is designed to integrate with existing Force systems and races, with pneumatic activation added for ease and precision.
Will the pneumatic mechanisms reduce maintenance time and effort?
Generally yes. Air-powered systems reduce wear on manual parts but still require regular checks on air lines, valves, and fittings.
Is Safe-T-Force Air suitable for all yard sizes and cattle volumes?
Yes, especially for higher throughput operations where pneumatic control improves speed and reduces operator effort.
How much quieter is pneumatic operation compared to manual?
Pneumatic systems are significantly quieter and smoother, which reduces stress on cattle and contributes to calmer handling overall.

Built for Performance
The Air Calf Cradle brings the latest air-powered technology to calf management. Operators can securely restrain, tilt and release calves using pneumatic controls, which reduces handling time and physical strain. Smooth side panels, anti-slip flooring and quiet operation all work together to minimise stress and prevent injury.
Compact yet tough, the cradle fits easily into existing yard setups and connects seamlessly with RPM’s Calf Race or Weigh Box. Every feature is designed to deliver safe, consistent handling that benefits both animal welfare and operational efficiency.
Key Features
- Fully galvanised steel construction for long-term strength and rust resistance
- Pneumatic operation for fast, controlled and low-stress calf handling
- Smooth, quiet function to prevent calf agitation
- Secure locking system for safe restraint and easy release
- Anti-slip flooring for steady footing during handling
- Easy access for tagging, branding or medical work
- Compatible with RPM Calf Race and Weigh Box systems
What It Means for Beef Producers
The RPM Air Calf Cradle helps beef producers manage young stock with confidence. By combining strength, precision and safety, it simplifies the most demanding yard tasks. The air-powered system reduces manual lifting and holding, which cuts fatigue and improves efficiency during long handling sessions.
With its quiet operation and safe restraint, calves remain calm, reducing stress-related setbacks and improving overall handling success. Built to withstand the elements and everyday use, it’s a practical investment for any beef producer committed to better animal management.
