The Hi-Hog Hydraulic Cattle Squeeze Chute delivers smooth, controlled restraint at the touch of a control. Hydraulic headgate and squeeze functions reduce operator fatigue while improving speed and precision during herd work. Even pressure helps keep cattle calmer and more secure, enhancing both animal welfare and handler safety. Ideal for higher-volume operations, hydraulic power increases efficiency and confidence—making long processing days more productive and less physically demanding.
