A Portable Hydraulic Feedlot Chute with Heavy-Duty Power & Ultimate Access
The Major Hydraulic Squeeze Chute is built for feedlot managers and operations that are on the move. For those that demand high throughput and zero excuses. As the market shifts toward heavier cattle, The Major provides the up to 31.5-inch internal width and reinforced frame required to safely process animals up to 1,800 pounds. This is a heavy-duty tool built to stand up to today’s heavier cattle and harder slams.
Maximize your margin by protecting your highest-ROI input: implants. The Army Series Hydraulic Neck Extender gives 16.8 inches of neck access for quick and precise injections and consistent reimplant rates.
When cattle don’t hesitate, your crew can run them up to 30% faster than other hydraulic chutes. With Arrowquip’s 3E technology, The Major chute uses animal science to improve visibility and flow.
Downtime takes away from your margins. With The Major’s bolt-on wear parts, you can get back to processing up to 60% quicker. This is not a ranch chute adapted for a feedlot. The head gate and floor pan are validated by more than 600,000 testing cycles, ensuring the Major feedlot hydraulic chute stands up to the most demanding schedules.
When your operation requires the strength of a feedlot chute with the flexibility of a portable chute, The Major is a strong choice to increase your bottom line.
PRODUCT OVERVIEW
*Product appearance and features may differ slightly from what’s shown.
Built to Reduce Stress for Cattle & Operators
Fighting equipment all day slows everything down. With the re-engineered Army Series, you get a quieter chute that minimizes the constant clatter of a processing barn chute. By eliminating the “clank and rattle” of older chutes, you create a more controlled environment that keeps cattle moving and allows your crew to stay focused on the job instead of the machine.
When the operator doesn't have to fight the equipment, the line doesn't stop. More flexible access allows for easier safer treatments for animals.
Six drop-down doors on each side of the chute allow for quicker treatment
Lower-body work shouldn’t slow you down. The latch is positioned higher for better ergonomics and removes a potential foot cut point.
Split doors swing out and slam shut quietly
A downed or tripped animal creates a safety risk that can stall your crew. Being able to open either side instantly acts as your safety release, turning a potential delay into a quick recovery that keeps cattle flowing.
Fast, accurate pour-on application keeps your line moving. Remove the fork targets from the chute to get open access above the drop-down doors, so your crew can apply treatment cleanly without reaching around bars or disrupting flow.
Designed for fast shoulder access while protecting cattle as they move through the chute. Built for high-speed branding and precise injections.
Top 13.5" of the shoulder area can be quickly removed and reinstalled.
Vets can feel safer getting behind bulls while semen testing and using the vet door while working behind an animal.
Provides more options for the rump bar
Holds bulls and blocks door from swinging through
Bolt On & Swappable Parts Get You Back Up & Running Faster
In a feedlot or large-operation, equipment failure usually means the line stops until welding is done. The Major Hydraulic Squeeze Chute is redesigned to keep maintenance simple. With modular, bolt-on components and self-lubricating wear points, maintenance becomes a quick fix or scheduled task, not an emergency that impacts your daily head-per-minute average.
High-Volume Head & Tail Gates: Replaceable Wear Parts for Continuous Flow
No Metal-On-Metal Rubbing On Wear Points
