Hydraulic Head Restraint

A quick efficient way to control head for vaccinating, mouthing, drenching, tagging...and is designed to provide access to the neck area.  The head restraint adjusts for various sizes of livestock.  A shear pin allows the head restraint bar to break away, preventing injury to the animal or damage to the equipment should operator error occur during the use of the restraint.  Keep the animal calm by removing the opportunity to work itself into a frenzy jerking it's head around.

A preset pressure relief valve directs large volumes of oil at low pressure, assuring headgate quickness yet light pressure on the animal.  SILENCER offers equal pressure headdoors and employs the least pressure on the animal of any hydraulic chute.

To use the hydraulic head restraint simply remove the standard neck extender bar located opposite the head restraint ( The hydraulic restraint in vertical position works as a neck extender with neck access when extra control of head isn't required).  The hydraulic head restraint can easily be removed if not needed.

SILENCER's headdoor is wrapped in rubber to prevent shoulder damage.  The design minimizes choke-down with neck extension bars controlling head location, while allowing neck access. Neckbars are adjustable for different sizes of cattle.

The only chute to provide 16'' of accessible neck area per sidegate with proper restraint. Consider the economic benefits of SILENCER's extra neck access for precision vaccinating.  4'' of neck access room between the neck extension bars and the headdoor; 12'' extra neck access behind the headdoor.

Only SILENCER provides the most neck injection area while still holding the animal securely for precision vaccination placement on 350 lb. to 2500 lb. animals.
