Dairy Crowd Gate Options

Whether you are renovating or building a new milking parlour, the design of your crowd gates for cows can be customized to your barn’s specific needs.

Electric Over Hydraulic Drive 

  • 1HP electric motor turns the hydraulic pump for forward, reverse direction, and lifting of the crowd gate.

Vertical/High Lift Gate

  • The vertical lift on the crowd gate for cows allows you to bring in your 2nd group of cows into the holding area without pushing the 2nd group back when lifting the gate.
  • The high lift allows you to drive most skid steers underneath the gate when lifted.

Radio Remote Controlled

  • The high lift crowd gate is controlled by 2 wireless remote controls, allowing the milker and the herdsman control over the gate while milking or bringing in the next group of dairy cows.

Heavy Duty Construction

  • The high lift crowd gate for cows is built out of rectangular tubing and is fully hot dipped galvanized.

Milking Parlour Crowd Gate Benefits

Crowd gates for cows should never be used to force them into the parlour. Like you, we want your cows to have a positive experience by eliminating distractions and keeping the cows moving forward at a controlled comfortable pace. Your dairy crowd gate is there only to encourage the cows so that they move into the milking parlour willingly.

Like our cow stanchions, our crowd gates are made from high-grade galvanized steel and designed to remove pinch points and distractions, minimize corners, and minimize your workload.

Here are just a few of the many benefits you can expect from our high lift crowd gates.

  • Easy to install
  • Cow stress is reduced helping to keep the herd calm
  • Process is simplified and streamlined for quick and safe parlour entry
  • Less cow stress means higher milk yields with less effort
  • Less stress on your dairy barn staff
  • Gates are designed for maximum performance and require minimal maintenance
