Cattle Squeeze Chute that is Quiet, Safe & Efficient Video Transcript

At Arrowquip, we believe in innovative design and engineering while taking care of the rancher and the ranch. Introducing Arrowquip’s new Q-Catch 86 Series Manual Squeeze Chute, the quietest manual chute ever manufactured. Engineered with a variety of features for dependable strength as well as safe, simplified, low-stress cattle handling. Complete with the new easy operation single lever second-generation head holder, this holds and releases the animal’s head more safely and easily, giving you maximum control while keeping the animal calm. The ergonomically friendly single lever push to close, pull to open Q-Catch head gate can be operated from anywhere along the chute, making it easy for one person to operate. The new wide needle gate design gives better access when branding or needling, while the removable inspection gates are easy to adjust for various positions, giving ranchers multiple animal access options. With full side access to either the top, bottom or the entire animal, you can manage your cattle quickly, easily, and efficiently. Two rows of engineered composite rump fingers further the quietness of the chute, as well as ensure the rump bar can be used for any size animal. The new vet cage design comes standard on the Q-Catch 86 Series, and includes an anti-swing cam slam latch to eliminate the door swinging through unexpectedly. The door can also open entirely to the inside, giving it 180 degrees maneuverability when needed. An innovative rolling door on poly rollers and rubber guides allows for both off-side and near side operation, and can be operated from either side of the Q-Catch 86 Series. Precision manufactured high quality parts, powder-coated steel, and all bars are square shaped to increase strength, as well as reduce pressure points on the animal. The Q-Catch 86 Series features a full length squeeze that squeezes from 29½ down to just 7½, making operating even the smallest calf up to the largest bull efficient and safe. Arrowquip’s molded rubber floors allow animals better traction, and dramatically reduces noise. Poly compound rubber protected steel parts on all quick release latches and rubber spring hinges make the Q-Catch 86 Series the quietest manual squeeze chute ever. With Arrowquip, you’re guaranteed maximum efficiency, resulting in higher profits, and more time to do the things that truly matter to you and your family. This is innovative cattle handling like never before, and is a new global standard in the cattle handling industry. This is the new Q-Catch 86 Series cattle chute. The bar has been set.

Squeeze Chute Rubber Floor – Patent-Pending
Rubber floors are proven to reduce stress, increase efficiency and improve the health of your cattle. Arrowquip’s maintenance-free, removable rubber flooring brings livestock comfort into the cattle chute, making it as low-stress as possible.
Squeeze
The Q-Catch 86 Series parallel squeeze is unlike any other squeeze chute in the industry. The push-pull squeeze lever never needs to be adjusted to work cattle of varying sizes, as the 29.5” width fits the largest bull and can squeeze down with ease to 7.75” to suit the smallest calf. The squeeze locks in place in any position, ensuring you have all the control you need.

I just ran 21 head of cattle through in 3 hours. I vaccinated, de-wormed, ear tag, and took blood samples. It was the most enjoyable time I have every had working cattle. From a day old calf to 1,800 lbs bull, I was able the head catch them all with ease and no make adjustments. By far the best squeeze chute made in America. If it was galvanized, it would be perfect. Be that is an European and Australian thing. Not so much in America.

Went to buy a different cattle chute that I already put money down on, but when I saw the new Arrowquip chute I quickly changed my mind. The new rubber floor has made handling my cattle much easier. Squeeze operation allows for my wife and kids to easily help me with the cattle. But even if they can’t how Arrowquip as built their cattle chutes I’m able to easily manage my herd on my own.

I have used and been around many different brands of cattle squeeze chutes. Our Q-Catch 86 Series is the smoothest and easiest operating chute I have ever used. The cattle have lots of room to move through and exit this chute. The ability to let cattle in and catch cattle from the back of the chute keeps the cattle flowing smooth. Also the head catch option has proved itself worth much more than its cost. Great product!!

“The head holder is a wonder option. I have a small farm and that my wife and I are on. I would put our squeeze chute and head holder against any competitive product on the market. Every time we use the 8600 we are reminded just how glad we have it.”
