Bring a Commercial Feedlot Workflow to Any Pasture The Arrowquip 8818L-EF18 is not just a portable chute; it is a complete, high-capacity cattle handling system on wheels. While standard portable units limit you to a single animal in the alley, the 8818L-EF18 features an extended 18-foot Easy-Flow Alley, allowing you to stage multiple animals behind the chute. This utilizes the herd instinct to keep cattle moving forward, drastically reducing the time you spend reloading the alley.
Why the 8818L-EF18 is the Right Choice:
Continuous “Motion” Flow: The 18-foot alley length is a game-changer. By keeping 2-3 cows staged in the alley, the animal in the chute sees other cattle right behind them (and the ones behind see the one ahead). This “follow the leader” instinct keeps flow constant and reduces balking.
Instant Setup with Hydraulic Jacks: This heavy-duty unit sets up in minutes. Unlike manual jacks that require physical exertion, the hydraulic jack system lifts and lowers the unit with ease, ensuring the frame sits firmly on the ground for maximum stability.
The Arrowlock 88 Advantage: At the front of the system is the Arrowlock 88 Series manual chute. It features the ratchet-style head gate for a guaranteed hold, a rubber floor for silence, and full access panels for easy treating.
Safety in Numbers: The integrated crowding tub and adjustable alley sides allow you to work cattle without entering the flight zone, keeping you safe from crush accidents while managing the herd from the outside.
Key Features:
Alley: 18’ Easy-Flow Adjustable Alley (Cradle shape prevents turning).
Tub: 8’ Crowding Tub designed for low-stress entry.
Chute: Arrowlock 88 Manual Chute with Ratchet Head Gate.
Jacks: Hydraulic system for effortless setup and transport.
