For too long, cattle ranchers have settled for handling equipment that is “good enough,” simply because there hasn’t been a better option that fits their budget. While chutes like the Priefert S04 may be budget friendly at first glance, the long-term cost of safety, low-quality equipment, and high maintenance needs can quickly diminish the benefits of that once attractive low price point. As Benjamin Franklin said, “The bitterness of poor quality remains long after the sweetness of the low price is forgotten.”

For the last 30+ years, Arrowquip has been working hard to bring ranchers high-quality, safe cattle squeeze chutes. When innovating equipment, we take feedback from real-world ranchers to create equipment that is designed to make their hard work easy and safe.

One of the main problems that up-and-coming cattle producers have voiced is that their options for cattle squeeze chutes are limited with the impact of inflation. Unfortunately, that means that many choose to go with a lower-cost chute right off the bat and start their operation without the equipment they truly need to succeed.

Our answer to this is the Arrowlock 55 Series squeeze chute. This chute is perfect for those who are just starting out or have smaller herds and has been designed with features they need to succeed from the get-go.
