Arrowquip adds two new units to its Q-Catch mobile cattle handling range
Arrowquip has added two new products to its extensive Q-Catch mobile cattle handling range, giving beef and dairy producers more options to improve cattle handling safety and efficiency anywhere on their farms.
The new units – Q-Catch 748 and Q-Catch 7416 – feature the Q-Catch 74 Series manual squeeze crush along with the Easy Flow Adjustable Cattle Race in one towable unit allowing farmers to transport their cattle handling system anywhere work needs to be done. The 748 features an 8’ Easy Flow Race, while the 7416 gets a longer 16’ race.
Both units are manufactured with a first-grade steel top and bottom frame and feature a tractor tow bar and manual jacks. A five-year guarantee is standard, with lifetime guarantees on the crush’s rubber floor, rump fingers, squeeze locks and headgate locks.

Other features of the Q-Catch 74 Series crush include multiple access points with full-side horizontal opening top and bottom doors which can be pegged together and operated as one, removable top gates, and a drop-down and removable needle access door for TB testing. It also has a textured rubber floor that features a lifetime guarantee.
The 748 features a single 8’ adjustable race, while the larger 7416 uses two 8’ sections to create a 16’ length. Sheeted sides with removable top blinder panels keep cattle flow moving forward by preventing cattle from being distracted from activity outside the race. A simple pull rope allows the race width to be widened or narrowed to suit different sizes of stock.
An optional weigh platform kit fits within the race and supports Tru-Test and Gallagher loadbars.

Key features
The Q-Catch 74 Series is the mid-range cattle crush in the Arrowquip manual squeeze offerings. It features the 3E Q-Catch Head Gate with a vertical bar design that allows light to enter the front of the crush when the gate is closed to draw cattle forward without force. The infinite lock headgate and parallel squeeze will secure in any position – allowing a small calf or a large bull to be worked on without the need for adjustments. A sliding headgate handle allows the headgate to be operated anywhere along the working side of the crush, enabling operators to run the rear sliding door and headgate simultaneously.
