Engineered For Transport
Towing is one of the biggest differences in the new portable cattle handling system. The entire unit folds up into a compact and secure package for travel, ensuring your equipment will get to your destination safely. The enhanced frame features 2” x 6” beams on the top, and 3” x 3” beams on the bottom for structural integrity, and setup when you get to your location only takes a matter of minutes with our electric jack system.
Even More Compact Collapsible Tub
The collapsible tub on all Arrowquip portable cattle handling units has been completely redesigned to be truly compact. The tub is folded in a way that shortens the unit by up to 5’ 8” when towing. This brilliant engineering has made the NEW 18’ alley portable unit the same length as the previous Q-Catch 86 Series Portable Cattle Chute, 8’ Alley & Tub model was!
3E BudFlow® vs Crowding
The new 3E BudFlow® system allows cattle to see more light, which enhances flow through your handling system. The 3E BudFlow tub is designed to work with natural cattle behaviour by providing them with extra space to prevent stops and encourage cattle to move into the alley seamlessly.
The 180° Crowding Tub provides effective cattle movement from the tub into the alley. The sweep gate features a lock out to keep it from moving back towards the handler when crowding cattle into the alley.
NEW 18' Easy Flow Alley
The NEW 18’ Alley section turns your portable cattle chute, alley and tub into a fully portable handling system. By providing enough space for you to move all cattle out of the tub and into the alley, it provides the capacity you need to move your cattle though the system without having to stop and start the flow of cattle repeatedly.
The Easy Flow Cattle Alley sections are equipped with our patent-pending 3E technology which helps to draw cattle in the right direction using light. Two removable panels on each alley section can be moved into multiple positions to control what cattle see, giving you enhanced control of cattle movement.
Also available in an 8’ alley model.
Q-Catch 87 Series Cattle Chute
You'll have maximum control, safety, and efficiency even when you’re working cattle alone with the NEW Q-Catch 87 Series at the front of the system. The world's quietest manual cattle chute is at your fingertips, so you're guaranteed a quiet cattle handling experience anytime, anywhere.

Our Arrowquip squeeze chute is the best chute we have used. We are older ranchers and needed a chute that is safe and easy to use. We can easily work our herd of 200 cows and calves safely and efficiently! We love the access doors on both sides of the chute and the ability to catch the cow from behind instead of in front of her. The rump bars are wonderful! No more sore hands from trying to reach the cow from small drop down bars AND no more hitting our heads on handles that stick out from the chute! The Arrowquip can squeeze a cow so she does not move. We absolutely love our Arrowquip squeeze chute with vet cage!
Had arrowquip crushes for the last 12 years just bought a 74 series mobile handling system couldn’t be more happier with it makes handling cattle a joy arrowquip have thought about absolutely everything
Great product. Love the head holder
I have aberdeen cattle. the chute works very good for smaller framed cattle. great flow into the head catch. We had the vet out and he was amazed how fast we worked the cattle probally a 1/3 less time.
For years we had been using the same old chute and alley and always struggled with efficiency. We had been wanting to switch to ARROWQUIP for years, and finally made it happen this fall! Having quality portable equipment has been a game changer for us, as we have cattle in several different counties here in Missouri. The chute, alley, and tub fold up easily and haul down the road great. Probably my favorite thing about this set up is how easily just my dad and I can work cattle with it. We don't have a big crew working with us, so our efficiency has more than doubled since investing in an ARROWQUIP. Never lookin' back now!
We have upgraded to a manual squeeze and race sections with the 3e bud flow tub. By far the best investment I have made. So easy stress free and safer on both man and beast. Recommend highly that if anyone is thinking of changing to go arrowquip!!
