Crush gate I made up. Like a lot of things here, it started out as a simple gate with no head-lock. But then as I was making it, I thought might as well add it. Then thought it could double up as a calving gate if needed. Hardest part was the rachet grooves along the top. A bit of drilling and cutting to shape them.
There's 3 holes at the bottom to adjust for smaller animals and 2 ropes, one to close the head-lock and one to open the latch.
Would I be made to galvanise it?

Fine solid job!! Nothing going to bend that too handy!
Looks like the main frame was made a while?
Don't tell us.... you pulled it out of a skip at work and repurposed it?!
You don't miss much. Ya, main frame made since end of last year. Think I bought the channel for another job. I did buy the top brass pin (€2). But ya, the rest came from the skip that keeps on giving. :cool:'When I was a boy we were serfs, slave minded.

Nice heavy job.
Make sure to weld the hinges on it solid so it cant be lifted off the hinges easily.
We borrowed a mobile crush one day.
Gate popped open with a 3 year old bullock stuck in it .
He lifted it off the hinges and took off down the field with it .
Lad here would only look at the crush gates that open in 2 halves not holding the animal.0 -
