OVERVIEW

Do you process a high volume of cattle per year? Are you looking for a restrainer that will go the distance? The Thompson Longhorn Pneumatic Sumo restrainer has been developed to be one of our most reliable and durable workhorses. The Sumo has been designed to account for the different operational requirements that you may have in your facility and to create a safer, more productive working environment.

Engineered to be our most heavy-duty restrainer using Australian steel, the pneumatic Sumo comes with operational benefits that will far exceed your expectations. The walk-through vet compartment with split doors on the operating side and a full door on the non-operating side facilitates preg-testing and AI procedures. A kick gate protects the operator from any stray hooves, allowing you to access both sides of the restrainer quickly and safely. With a break-out gate on the non-operating side of the restrainer you can easily remove a fallen beast without going through the headbail.

The multi-position, dual pivoting control arm enables you to stand at different points on the operating side of the restrainer. The non-operating side door acts as a breakout gate, opening 180° allowing a fallen beast to be removed easily without going through the headbail. With a parallel headbail that closes quickly and gently combined with a double-sided vee squeeze, you can safely restrain your animals whilst performing any animal husbandry procedure.

The operational features and ergonomic design of the Sumo mean that the safety and welfare of you and your animals are created and maintained.

Taken out of a position where injuries could easily occur, the Sumo does all the hard work for you.

RELIABILITY AND EFFICIENCY

The pneumatic cylinders deliver exceptional performance and will assist in catching animals consistently every time, regardless of your age or experience. The automated doors and squeeze get the hard work done easier and faster, so you can spend less time in the cattle yards.

ICT – Impact Cancelling Technology

The Impact Cancelling Technology (ICT) provides an air cushioning effect to the animal restrained in the headbail. The technology has been designed to allow the headbail to tilt forward when the animal hits the headbail, cushioning the catch impact of the moving animal.

REDUCED MAINTENANCE

Headbail and rear door tracks are self-cleaning to ensure they don’t jam during operation. LFX wear pads are made from durable, wear-resistant self-lubricating nylon to allow the smooth operation of squeeze doors. Multiple grease points are located on the pneumatic linkages to provide superior and cost-effective lubrication to the squeeze mechanism, headbail and rear doors, ensuring the pneumatic performance is sustained. Hinges of doors and access gates are also greased for safety and ease of operation. The pneumatic regulation box is easily accessible on the operating side of the crush.
