Handling System Designs
Sample #1
This is our most popular handling system. It features a full three section tub with funnel section complete with a load out gate. The curve of the funnel tub continues into a twenty one foot adjustable S-Alley with elevated walks. A rolling door controls animal flow into the alley. The system finished with an adjustable palpation cage and parallel axis squeeze chute. Some ranchers like to have a rolling door between the alley and the palpation cage as well.

Sample #3
This system is a variation on Sample #1. In this system, the funnel crowding tub is replaced with a full three section crowding tub with a sheeted 9′-3” panel. The first alley section is selected to provide livestock a clear look into the alley from the tub. As with Sample 1, this system is finished with an adjustable palpation cage and parallel axis squeeze chute.

Sample #4
This system is a variation on Sample #1. In this system, the funnel crowding tub is replaced with a full three section crowding tub with a sheeted 7′ panel. The choice of tub will affect the direction of the adjustable alley from the lead-up alley. These three tub designs represent the standard configurations. There are however a wide range of additional configurations available. If you require a custom design please call and we can help you lay out a system that meets your individual needs.

Sample #12
This system is a variation on Sample #1. A full height adjustable loading chute is included off the crowding tub. At the end of this S-Alley we have included a sorting alley section made with two item 1380. This allows the operator to divert calves into a narrow calf alley with lift-up gate, leading to a calf tipping table. A sorting panel on the opposite side provides goods vet access to the parallel axis squeeze chute.

Sample #6
The only difference between this system and Sample #1 is that the S-Alley has been replaced with a fully adjustable U-Alley. Each additional section of U-Alley will change the location and angle of the squeeze chute. This U-Alley uses three 60 degree alley sections. Hi-Hog also offers a 45 degree alley section. Some ranchers like to have a rolling door between the alley and the palpation cage as well.

Sample #14
The only difference between this system and Sample #6 is the addition of a sorting section in the alley. Simple un-pin the panels leading to the loading chute and the entire working alley becomes fully adjustable. The sorting section is made by hanging sheeted panels (item #1380 and #250) from the adjustable alley spreaders. This sorting section can be inserted anywhere in and Hi-Hog alley.

Sample #18
Like the previous sample a three section U-Alley has been modified to add a sorting option. Here the sorting section has been moved to the end of the U-Alley and an additional straight alley section has been added to the beginning of the working alley. The working alley is preceded by a full three section crowding tub with a sheeted 9′-3” panel. The alley starts and ends with a spreader complete with a rolling door.

Sample #20
This compact design was originally prepared for a customer who needed a system to fit within a barn. A two section crowding tub with a 7′ straight funnel leads into the working alley. The fully adjustable working alley combines a 7′ straight alley and a 90 degree U-Alley. Hi-Hog livestock equipment is designed for flexibility. Hi-Hog can combine system components to create custom systems using standard stock items.
