Split Slide Gate (Open)

Manways
Manways are wide enough to prevent an animal getting caught by the hips if the gate is accidently left open, or they can be used to file stock through if required. Slam catch is standard on Hunter and Bullock and they are included in most plans, thus are not a hidden extra.
An extra slide is also standard on all 5 and 6 panel race designs.
In Line Posts
In line Posts. Yards are erected with the post up-side down. Hole marked, panels unbolted, hole dug, post is inverted, adjacent panels bolted and concreted in the hole.
Topless Race Bows
Topless Race Bows with Walkway allow uncluttered access to the cattle. A 100mm thick slab is poured and stamped before using the yards. Concrete is level with the base.
Because the concrete is poured with the yards erected there is no need to dismantle the race prior to concreting.
A popular yard is the Hunter 7 Rail Race, Hunter 6 Rail Force and Pound, with the balance GP Hybrid 6 Rail.
