Easy Flow Alley
The new and improved Easy Flow Adjustable Cattle Alley now comes with two removable panels that let you decide what your cattle see to improve flow. The alleys narrow down to the center and are cradle-shaped to ensure that your cattle keep moving forward in a smooth, straight line.
New Electric Jacks [PATENT-PENDING]
The redesigned jack system lifts the unit from the back of the alley with the push of a button. The electric jacks feature a 24V system, powered by two maintenance-free 12V Arrowquip AGM batteries connected in series. The new electric jack system can lift and lower the unit in under two minutes. A secondary bulldog jack at the front of the chute simplifies the process of hooking the unit up to your towing vehicle.

The portable cattle chute and alley is designed to be portable. The enhanced frame boasts 2" x 6" beams at the top and 3" x 3" beams at the bottom for structural integrity. Additionally, the improved hitch has an added gusset for support, multiple height options, and the wheels are easily installed and removed with two pins.

Interested in the difference between q -87 and q74 series
Hi Todd, here is a video showing the differences between the Q-Catch 87 Series and the 74 Series!

The Q-87 portable chute and alley is one of my best purchases in some time. We have found it to be the safest way to vaccinate any and all of our beef animals from calves to bulls. When they enter the alley and are weighed they remain calm going thru the chute and are restrained for shots and wormer application. It has given us as well as the cattle a far superior sense of safety than what we were used to. Really are satisfied with this purchase !
I am really pleased with my new portable Q 87 cattle chute and alley. It makes working the cows, calves and bulls much easier as well as much safer. I have been maintaining this herd since 1984 and this is my first chute of any kind. The cattle move through and stay calm from entry til exit. Also I have the Gallagher herd management and weigh system. This combination is really a great system. This past Saturday we ran them all through for vaccinations, weighing and wormer application and it was another enjoyable experience using this setup. Thank You Arrowquip !!!
