At the centre of the range is the Superlock Headbail, running on a Hydra Lock manual hydraulic system that lets you capture and release cattle in one smooth motion, even under load. The hydraulic ram allows infinite locking positions, so the bail holds an animal firmly at any point in its swing, while release stays quick and easy under pressure. It's a full walk-through design with greasable rose joint linkages for long-term smooth operation, and the Powerlock system adds 30% more power for less operator effort. Nearside and offside operation is available, so confirm your configuration before ordering. The standard unit weighs 165kg and holds firm while keeping the animal accessible for treatment.
For jobs that need closer head restraint, RPM's cattle headlocks bolt straight onto the Superlock Headbail. The Hydra Headlock uses top and bottom restraining arms to stop an animal throwing its head up or down, ideal for mouthing or eye treatment. The Mugger Style Headlock adds an adjustable scoop along the bottom arm to limit side-to-side movement, and the two arms interchange between units so you can switch from a Hydra pipe arm to a Mugger scoop arm as the job demands. A Rear Operation Kit is also available, letting one operator open and close the headbail from behind the crush, ideal for anyone working solo or upgrading an older race. Producers fitting out a new crush often order the head bails and cattle headlocks together for a complete, matched capture system.
Every product in the cattle head bails and cattle headlocks range is Australian made and built around real yard conditions rather than a spec sheet. The manual hydraulic locking system keeps capture and release simple, and a rear-operating option is available across the range for extra operator safety. It's this mix of proven engineering and practical detail that keeps producers coming back to a genuine RPM setup on their crush.
