Safe and secure access to your cattle

• The #80 heavy duty non-adjustable Palpation Cage includes access gates on both sides of the cage.
• Each 66″ high access gate comes with a spring-loaded slam-latch. For operator safety, the plunger on the slam-latches engage automatically when the gate is closed.
• Both of the access gates can be swung into the Palpation Cage where they latch securely across the alley to block animals in the lead-up alley.
• Both of the access gates can also be swung out of the Palpation Cage. This allows the Palpation Cage to also act as a sorting alley for small animals.
• The Palpation Cage is designed to connect directly to other Hi-Hog system panels with our common connector system.
• Another reason to consider a Palpation Cage on your chute is a Palpation Cage can double as a pass-through location for handlers.
