Hi-Hog’s Hydraulic Cattle Squeeze Chute reduces livestock stress and increases efficient cattle handling, all while keeping both stock and operator safe.
At 2,204 pounds, before adding the pump, you won't find a chute offering better value per pound.
Benefit from a long list of low stress cattle handling features:
- Both the head gate stanchion and tail gate open to the full 32” width of the chute for unrestricted livestock flow
- The head gate stanchions are parallel so your cattle are not at risk of choking
- 2024 Hydraulic Squeeze Chutes come with Head Holder Brackets welded on.
- The head gate is mounted with impact absorbing springs to minimize livestock bruising
- The parallel sides are gently sloped to naturally support your livestock without affecting the stability of their footing
- When the sides of the chute are squeezed, they move together and forward in a smooth parallel motion providing even pressure from the floor to the shoulder. The parallel motion keep your livestock centered, stable, and supported
- The interior of the bottom of the chute is enclosed with sheet metal. This protects your livestock from foot traps and sharp edges while also making it more difficult for your cattle to climb the sides
- All sheeted components are caulked for quiet, low stress operation
- The floor of Hi-Hog’s chute is made with heavy checker plate with large integrated 1.25" x 1.25" square traction bars to provide your cattle with confident and secure footing
- Both of the hydraulic pump options come with long hydraulic lines to allow you freedom to locate the pump away from the chute (where the noise and vibration of the pump will have a minimum impact on the stress levels of your livestock).

Hydraulic Pump Options:
Hydraulic Cattle Squeeze Chute with Electric Power Pack, Item No 1556
Hi-Hog’s 2 horsepower electric hydraulic pump is set at the factory to pump 1.5 gallons/minute at 1000 psi. The electric pump can run on either 110 V or, for best performance, 220 V.
Hydraulic Cattle Squeeze Chute with Gas Power Pack, Item No 1566
Hi-Hog’s 5.5 horsepower gas hydraulic pump offers 15.2 gallons/minute at low pressure and 3.3 gallons/minute at high pressure.
The power pack includes a by-pass valve which makes it:
- easier to pull start the engine
- faster to warm up to full operating temperature
- faster to warm the hydraulic oil in the tank.
If you have a pull start pump without a by-pass valve, you need to turn the engine over as well as the hydraulic pump and forcing the oil through the full length of the pressure and return lines. That is much harder

Customer Reviews
“This chute is quiet, heavy duty and built to last. The control arm allows us to run the hydraulic chute from numerous positions, while the cattle move through with ease. The chute design allows great accessibility for preg-testing, semen testing, and positioning calves to nurse. This has been a great addition to our cattle working operation.”
Noble Ranch - Bonanza, Oregon
The chute has cut our work time in half. we no longer need a hot shot, the cattle load themselves when it opens. Worst case, we have to use a poker stick. Don can work the cattle by himself if necessary, but his wife is willing to help now.
