Atlex cattleyard designs allow cattle to flow QUICKER, EASIER and SAFER. Standard features and optional extras available to you when investing in Atlex cattleyards include:

Delivery to Your Property

• Delivery by Atlex, to prevent the likelihood of damage and loss in the transport chain.

Pegging out of Your Design

• We take the responsibility that it all goes together correctly and you know exactly where to dig the holes for construction.
• Our Total Base Station (Robotic Theodolite) can stakeout to the accuracy of 1mm from the agreed design.

Standard Permanent Panels & Gates

• Standard permanent panels and gates have six 40NB (48mm outside diameter) high tensile Galvanised rails and are I .7metres high.

• Panels have 80NB (89mm outside diameter) galvanised posts, which are concreted into the ground a minimum of 750mm in a 300mm wide hole, this gives your yards the strong base to stay rigid over their life-span.

• All panels and gates 3.3 metres long have one flat vertical strap welded on for extra strength to the already strong BHP Gal Tube Plus (galvanized) high tensile steel.

• All panels and gates are square and not bent on the corners to minimise the risk of injuries to cattle on occasions when they attempt to jump over fences. This Atlex design feature avoids possibility of legs becoming wedged between panels.
• Optional sheep rails for flexibility; two 20NB (27mm outside diameter) rails are positioned between the bottom and third rails.

Standard Relocatable Panels & Gates

• Standard relocatable panels and gates have six 40NB (48mm outside diameter) high tensile Galvanised rails welded to 40NB high tensile galvanised posts and stand at 1.7metres high.

• Panels have footplate pins for extra sturdiness, to make sure your new yards stay where they are placed.

• Gates have heavy 75x50mm Duragal RHS gate frames to prevent the gates from sagging.

• All panels and gates 3.3 metres long have one flat vertical strap welded on for extra strength.

• All panels and gates are square and not bent on the corners to minimise the risk of injuries to cattle on occasions when they attempt to jump over fences. This Atlex design feature avoids possibility of legs becoming wedged between panels.
• Optional sheep rails for flexibility; two 20NB (27mm outside diameter) rails are positioned between the bottom and third rails.

Cattlerail Panels

• Cattlerail panels are specially designed to minimise bruising to stock. They have five high tensile galvanised 120x48x2mm rails, which are notched and welded to 80NB (89mm outside diameter) high tensile galvanised posts.

Overhead Bracing

• Overhead bracing around the round yard and 3.3m gateways to a height of 2.1metres for extra strength at these pressure points.

Non-bruise Atlex Spring Release Gate Catch

• All gates have non-bruise Spring Release Gate Catches which do not protrude past the rail into the bruise zone. Making sure you do not damage your animal's meat or hide.
• Plus a chain with a fabricated catch to ensure overnight security when cattle are locked in the yards.

Sliding Gates

• The Sliding Gates have two roller carriages, cable of supporting 450kg in the upper track to allow for easy opening together with an inverted track on the bottom that will not block with dirt. This prevents the gate twisting under pressure.
• PLUS the sliding gates can be either one-way or two-way sliding, allowing operation from either side.

Safety Walk Through Manways

• For quick, easy and safe self-closing access and exit, saves continually climbing over the fences or opening and shutting gates when forcing cattle into the working race.

Calf Race

• Standard calf race panels are 2.5m wide by 1.2m high with sheeting to 850mm. Calf gates are 0.55m wide by 1.2m high.

• The race is narrow so that calves can't turn around and 1.2m high to prevent them jumping over the top

Tapered Race

• Has escape gates on the outside, sheeting on the inside to 1.1metres and sheeting on the outside to 1.7metres.
• There is no gap between panels to break or injure legs of cattle.
• Dimensions help prevent young cattle from turning around and minimises congestion, saving you time and eliminating frustration.

Safety Non-Slip Raised Walkways

• On the inside of the working race & rotary force at approximately 0.5metres height and a minimum of 600mm wide for safety.
• Allows you safe access to your cattle while they are in the race.

Heavy-Duty Rotary Force

• Has a three metre diameter and friction catch which can be stopped at any stage on the circular force with a 50x50 RHS frame, heavy 1.5mm sheet welded to the frame and overhead bracing and 80NB posts on the outside.
• Eliminates the need to have operator in a confined area forcing cattle into the race.
• Automatic brake prevents cattle from escaping back.
• The controls can be operated from the ground or from the walkway on the outside of the yards.
• Fully sheeted to eliminate issues of outside distractions for cattle, enticing them to move freely towards the open race.
• Using air or oil to operate by remotes near the rear of the crush, keeping the operator out of harms way.

Covered Working Area

• Have the working area of your cattleyards covered, allowing you to work comfortably in all weather conditions.

Cattle Crushes

• A wide range of Warwick Cattle Crushes and headbails available to suit your needs.

Calf Cradles

• The Warwick Spinroll or Throwdown calf cradles manage all calf handling with best possible outcomes.

Ruddweigh Scales

• Atlex has a wide range of ruddweigh weighing equipment available, which can be incorporated in to your cattleyards.
