Civil Foundation & Installation Guidelines

Structural mounting standards, concrete slab specifications, and anchor torque requirements.

Deployment Surface
Operates on uneven pasture ground, gravel yard pad, or concrete handling apron.
Drafting Race Setup
Race width adjustable from 450mm to 550mm tapering to prevent sheep from turning around.
Holding Pen Spacing
Allow 0.6 m² to 0.8 m² per ewe in holding pens; 1.0 m² for ewes with lambs.
Diamond Force Pen
V-shaped crowding pen leads naturally into race funnel with non-return flap gates.

Animal Welfare & Barn Layout Engineering Guidelines

Standard clearance requirements, herd stocking density, and ergonomic livestock flow.

Animal Welfare Standards
Complies with New Zealand Animal Welfare (Sheep and Beef Cattle) Code of Welfare and UK DEFRA codes.
Smooth Rail Geometry
Oval tubular rails prevent fleece snagging, bruising, or broken horns during high-density drafting.
Silent Operation
Rubber cushioned latches and lightweight alloy gates reduce flight response and animal stress.
Operator Ergonomics
Centralized lever controls allow single operator to draft up to 600 sheep per hour without fatigue.

Biosafety Washdown & Preventive Maintenance Protocol

High-pressure wash tolerance, acid/alkali detergent resistance, and periodic lubrication intervals.

Washdown Protocol
Power wash clean of mud, lanolin grease, and drench chemicals after handling sessions.
Pivot Lubrication
Lubricate sliding guillotine gate tracks and drafting hinge pins with water-resistant spray.
Drop Pin Storage
Inspect tethered connection pins to ensure zero loss during pasture relocation.
Wheel & Winch Care
For mobile trailer units: grease wheel bearings and inspect winch cable annually.

Frequently Asked Commercial & Technical Questions

Q1:What international manufacturing and galvanizing standards apply to the Diy Sheep Handling System?

The Diy Sheep Handling System is engineered using high-tensile structural steel (Q235/Q355) and hot-dip galvanized in full compliance with EN ISO 1461, ASTM A123, and AS/NZS 4680 standards. Our automated galvanizing bath delivers an average coating thickness exceeding 85 microns (>500 g/m² zinc mass), ensuring over 20 years of maintenance-free service in high-ammonia barn environments.

Q2:How is this unit packaged for maritime container export to prevent transit damage?

All components are pre-kitted, nested, and strapped to custom heavy-duty steel transit cradles. Critical mating points and hinges are cushioned with dense EPDM foam protectors, and bundled units are dimensioned specifically to maximize cube utilization in 40HQ maritime containers, allowing direct forklift offloading at your destination warehouse.

Q3:Can StockQuip customize dimensions and bracket fixtures to fit existing barn posts?

Yes. Over 60% of our export volume involves OEM customization. We manufacture custom bracket clamp collars, modified post spacing, and specialized latching configurations based on your CAD drawings or site survey dimensions. Full mill test certificates and 3D installation drawings are provided prior to mass production.
