Main components of SA0042:
Figure 1 Component Description See
Section
1 Head lifter  This component allows a rope to be used to pull the
head forward, left and right to drench or give a
bolus. One end attaches to the halter and the other
end can be hooked on the side at the rope eye.
2 Side doors
 The side doors can be opened to allow access to
the cow for examination and treatment.
3 Front gate  The front gate can be set in all positions using the
hydraulic lever at the right rear of the crush.
 Fully open: the cow can walk out of the crush at the
front.
 Partially open (catch position): the cow’s head can
pass through the front gate, but not its withers.
 Closed: the front gate is closed behind the cow's
head.
4 Back gate
 This crush is equipped with a hydraulic back gate.
 After the cow is placed in the crush, the back gate
is placed against the rear of the cow using the
hydraulic lever. This allows you to control how
tightly the back gate is set against the cow. The
brace must be pressed tightly against the cow
during trimming because otherwise the cow will lie
down. The crush comes with a standard W-bracket
that allows better fixation of the back legs.
5 Front leg support  The cow’s front leg can be winched hydraulically
onto the front leg support with a rope and hook. The
leg is secured and can then be treated.
5.4
6 Lift
 The SA0042 is equipped with a lift that can go
60 cm high. This is important so you can easily
reach the udder.
 The lift can be stopped at any desired height.
 The power take-off tubes must be replaced
preventively every 5 years due to deterioration.
