For-Most crowding tub and alley systems consist of individual components that can be configured into almost any design that will accommodate your needs. Our support staff will help you design a system that will meet your needs and provide the optimal handling environment. Study our features and you will discover that a well thought out system will pay for itself many times over. Inferior systems will end up costing you more in the end due to inefficient flow, added stress or injuries to your cattle and your help, or they just aren’t built to last like For-Most.
The full (4 curved) tub is completely reversible clockwise and counter clockwise sweep to fit your needs. Tub is also available in 5, 4, 3, 2 curved sections. Stationary tub panel is also available in 10, 8, 7, 6, lengths.
Tub and alley panels feature rugged construction with 2 3/8” 10-gauge round tubing and 1 1/2” 14-gauge square tubing throughout, giving you a product that will last for many years. Complete your working system with a For-Most chute for the ultimate in cattle handling equipment.
Our large 10’ radius tub has a working height of 5’6” and a total height of 7’. Completely reversible along with single or double tub exits or we offer optional 2 direction (90° or 135°) sorting right out of the tub.
- The outer end of the rugged swing-gate is supported by a roller that rides on the top rail of the tub. This eliminates pressure on the gate, preventing the gate from sagging over time to provide long-lasting, safe operation.
- Positive ratchet with lock prevents kick backs, ensuring operator safety during any weather conditions.
- Swing-gate is sheeted to 40” for protection with open bars to 66” to allow cattle driving.
Our unique alleys are designed to keep you on the ground and off dangerous catwalks. An innovative adjustable overhead grill system prevents cattle from climbing & turning around.
Alley bows control the directional flow with 6’ or 8’ V’d solid panels forming the solid alley. These heavy duty panels pin to the bows and are easily removed for clean out or to access an animal in an emergency.
Crowding Tubs
- 45° alley bows turn the cattle for “U” or “S” shaped alley configurations.
- Alley Load out sections or
- Y-dividers divert cattle to separate alleys and also offer a sorting gate w/ handle for sorting cattle.
Our top grill prevents animals from climbing and turning around in the alley, a common occurrence in alleys without grills. The grills adjust from 54” to 64” high to accommodate all sizes of livestock.
Single alley sections are 30” wide at top and taper to the bottom that adjusts from 22” down to 18”. Mounting pads on alley bows are provided for permanent installation to concrete.
Overhead alley stops drop behind cattle as they pass through the alley preventing cattle from backing away from the chute. Overhead stop also helps prevent injuries to the animal’s ribs or sides.
Alley panels and grills are also available in 2’, 3’, 4’, or 5’ lengths for customized setups.
Double Alley System
Nothing on the market today provides a better, more efficient cattle handling system than the For-Most Double Alley system. For-Most was the first company to manufacture an alley system that provides two side-by-side adjustable alleys coming out of the tub. The reason this system works so well is that the cattle see a large 5’ escape hole which they readily go through. Once inside the double alley, the cattle are then funneled into a single alley and then into the chute.
The system keeps cattle calmer because they don’t need to be prodded and worked up just to go into the alley, therefore, they stay calmer all the way through the chute. It’s a fact that cattle perform better with less stress and there is nothing you can buy that is less stressful than a For-Most working system that includes the Double Alley. Our innovative double alley design lets you quickly adjust the width of each alley from 30” down to 20”. The adjustment is easily made with no tools in just minutes. The outside panels are sheeted so the cattle can’t see out, but the inside panel is open so cattle remain calmer because they are standing next to a buddy.
The double alley is a great way to increase alley capacity per linear foot of working area. You will be truly amazed at how much faster and easier cattle can be worked in this system.
