Hydraulic Tilting Squeeze Chute

The Hydraulic Tilting Squeeze Chute is, in most cases, merely a tilting mechanism that’s been added to any of the manufacturer’s stationary (non-tilting) models, which allows the chute to tilt at up to a 90º angle. The bottom drop-down doors are configured for easy access to both front and back legs while the animal is on its side, and the pedestal controls are mounted off the chute for operation in all positions. Tilting can be stopped at any angle and/or mechanical stops can be set in multiple positions. The tailgate is set off the chute to keep incoming cattle clear of the chute when tilting.

Cost: $6,000-$18,000
