Patent-pending cattle race engineered for total safety
Designed and manufactured in Ireland by fourth-generation fabricator JF Fabworks ltd. Built with high-strength steel tested with 20 tonnes of pressure, ensuring complete handler safety and stress-free livestock handling. JF fabworks holds certificate EN 1090
Innovative livestock handling features
Standard handling units carry severe risks of crushed limbs and livestock pushing back. Our patent-pending design completely isolates the operator from the animal while ensuring quick, reliable operation in high-throughput farmyards and marts.
Zero-contact operator safety
Eliminates dangerous backing bars with impenetrable steel doors and an anti-turn forcing gate, making it physically impossible for an animal to turn on the handler. Our high strength steel doors fold away nicely alongside the cattle race when not in use.
Double latch single-lever control
Engineered with spring-loaded dual latches on a single ergonomic handle, allowing farmers to latch and open heavy gates instantaneously with minimal effort.
Fully adjustable system
Easily adjusts width and containment to handle all animal sizes safely, from weanlings to heavy mature bulls, without rattling or shifting.
Proven performance, backed by a 50-year warranty
Currently in rigorous real-world development and testing at Athenry Mart in County Galway. Each high-strength steel frame weighs 1,500 kg and will not budge, bend, or break under the most demanding Irish livestock conditions.
Unrivalled 20-tonne structural resistance
When livestock get spooked, excited, ordinary barriers bend and fail. JF Fabworks builds every single unit using heavy 1,500 kg steel frames, with gate systems pressure-tested to endure up to 20 tonnes of direct force. We back our fourth-generation fabrication quality with an extraordinary 50-year structural warranty.
