The range covers everything from entry-level models for hobby farms to heavy-duty crushes built for commercial feedlots. Every crush in the lineup uses high tensile galvanised steel, giving handlers a sturdy build that copes with the biggest stock and the harshest yard conditions. Producers after a dedicated vet cattle crush get split gate access on both sides, letting the vet or handler work safely without wrestling stock into position. Hydraulic head bails replace the old ratchet-style systems, giving faster, quieter and one-touch operation, so younger, smaller or female staff can run the crush confidently without choking cattle or fighting ratchet teeth.
RPM's cattle crushes range extends beyond the standard vet-ready setup to the Allrounder, trusted by commercial operators for its parallel squeeze and full vet access, and the Ultimate, engineered for the heaviest feedlot workloads with standard spey and injection gates. For smaller operations, the Innovator and Vetless Innovator bring the same engineering standards to family farms and hobby setups, using anti-bruise oval rail gates and hydra lock headbails without the premium price tag of the commercial range. Optional extras across the range include baulk gates, hydra or mugger headlocks, welded drop-in or timber flooring and semen gates, so producers can configure each crush to match their yard design and workflow.
RPM ships every crush hot dipped or in offside and nearside configurations to suit each setup, with rose joint bearing linkages that stay greasable and adjustable for a longer working life. A power lock linkage system boosts holding power while cutting operator effort, and a self-locking rear door with a cam handle keeps stock secure without extra hardware. Sound proofing and quiet hydraulic operation keep cattle calmer through the crush, reducing stress for both the animal and the handler. Engineered in Australia using CAD and finite element analysis, each crush in the range stands up to serious, continuous use in the yards.
