Sheep Turnover Crate – Mobile Sheep Handler & Sheep Crush

Sheep Turnover Crate – Practical Sheep Handling Equipment

This sheep turnover crate provides farmers and livestock handlers with a practical way to restrain and position sheep for routine handling and animal care.

Also commonly described as a sheep handler, sheep crush or sheep catcher, the unit is designed to hold the animal within the crate while giving the operator better access during handling tasks.

The turnover mechanism allows the sheep to be repositioned when required, reducing the need to manually wrestle or hold the animal during routine work.

Suitable for Routine Sheep Handling

The crate can be used for a variety of sheep handling and maintenance tasks around the farm.

Typical applications may include:

• Hoof inspection and trimming
• Drenching
• Vaccination
• General health checks
• Sheep inspection
• Routine animal care
• Livestock management
• Other sheep handling tasks

The enclosed design helps keep the sheep contained while the operator carries out the required work.

Turnover Mechanism

One of the main features of this sheep turnover crate is its turnover mechanism.

Once the sheep is correctly positioned and secured inside the handler, the mechanism allows the animal to be turned to provide easier access for certain handling and maintenance tasks.

This can be particularly useful when working around the sheep’s feet and lower body.

Always operate the equipment carefully and ensure the animal is correctly positioned before using the turnover mechanism.

Galvanised Steel Construction

The sheep handler is manufactured from galvanised steel, providing a strong and practical construction suitable for farm environments.

The steel frame, gates, floor and operating components are designed to form an integrated livestock handling unit.

Regular inspection of gates, catches, moving components and other operating parts is recommended before use.

Mobile Design with Wheels

The unit comes fitted with wheels, making it easier to move the sheep handler around the farm, shed or working area when required.

This is particularly useful where the equipment needs to be stored away after use or moved between different livestock handling areas.

Position the unit securely on a suitable surface before operating it.
