LM Bateman

The LM Bateman Devon Squeeze takes the proven Ambassador Squeeze format and integrates an automatic head yoke, creating a crush that captures consistently and lets the operator focus on the job in hand. It retains the same always-locked squeeze mechanism (a design that holds the sides exactly where you set them) while adding a smooth, spring-assisted yoke reset so the gate is ready for the next animal with minimal input. Internal surfaces are clad with 6 mm polypropylene for durability and reduced contact noise, and the floor combines anti-slip bars with a rubber mat to promote secure footing and quieter operation. Access has been engineered throughout: spring-loaded full-height side doors, TB access doors, a rear sliding door, and a removable side bar give clear reach to the neck and body as required. The Devon Squeeze is specified to handle cattle from approximately 50 kg up to large bulls, with a squeeze range from 750 mm down to 300 mm and an automatic yoke that offers six width settings.

Known for its premium quality, strength, and safety features, the Ambassador Crush is part of the fixed-width range, providing excellent value for money without compromising on performance. Whether you are managing horned cattle or require efficient handling of various livestock sizes, the Ambassador Cattle Crush offers the reliability and flexibility necessary for successful livestock management.

The Ambassador Cattle Crush is built with versatility in mind, making it suitable for a wide range of cattle handling scenarios. It is constructed to accommodate horned cattle, providing the necessary width and strength for safe and secure handling. One of the standout features is its manually operated yoke, allowing handlers to securely control cattle without complex mechanisms. The simple, reliable scissor-style yoke can be adjusted to ensure a snug fit around the animal’s neck, with a yoke aperture width adjustable from 130mm to 250mm. This flexibility makes the crush suitable for cattle of different sizes, ensuring safe and efficient handling across various breeds.

• Manual Head Yoke: The scissor-style head yoke is manually operated, providing secure control over the cattle’s head and neck.
• Safety Cage: Protects the handler from being in close proximity to the animal during operation, reducing the risk of injury.
• Full Access Side Doors: These doors allow for easy access to the animal’s body, making procedures such as inspection, treatment, and general handling much simpler and more efficient.
• Revolving Rump Bar: The crush includes a revolving ratchet-style rump bar that can be easily adjusted to secure the animal from the rear, preventing backward movement and adding an extra layer of security.
• Drop-Down Rump Bar: This feature allows for swift securing and release of the animal, making the process smoother and safer for both the handler and the livestock.
