Safety Winches

Every Wopa Standard Cattle Crush is standard equipped with two safety winches – one for the belly strap and one for the back leg. They engage the brake instantly when the handle is released without any extra handling from the operator, ensuring that under no circumstances can the handle spin independently of the operator. This is a particularly great feature when cows put up some resistance. It means that you have full control over the cow, so you can ensure she is weight bearing on all feet before fully releasing. Both winches are equipped with a 2:1 reduction, providing more control and requiring less effort.
