    Landquip NZ launches a new method of mobile sheep handling

    The Forklift Porta-Yards from Landquip NZ is now available in the UK, bringing new access to mobile sheep handling.

    With no towing required, the product features a 2.5m steel race frame with fork slots to transport with either telehandler or loader tractor. The frame also features a rubber floor and three-way drafting.

    Edward Wise, managing director of Wise Agriculture who are the UK distributor or Porta-Yards, said: “The Forklift Porta-Yards is the first mobile sheep handling unit on the market that doesn’t require towing for transportation. Without the need to remove wheel kits for use and put them back on for towing, set-up and repacking the mobile sheep unit is significantly quicker with minimal effort. Transportation via forklifts also allow for the sheep yards to be used by producers who don’t own quads or want to take their livestock trailer on the back of the tractor and sheep yard on the front.”

    Available in 100-head and 250-head capacities, units come with 1m high New Zealand alloy hurdles with a solid top section which acts as a visual barrier. Up to 10 hurdles can be stacked on either side of the 2.5m steel unit. Other features include a tapered V race with integrated three-way drafting and a rubber floor, 2.1m long swinging forcing gate with the option to include a dosing race and L braces and three-way joiners to give producers multiple set-up options and pen strength.

    Mr Wise said: “As more arable farmers integrate livestock into their crop rotations, the Forklift Porta-Yards are ideal for those without a way to tow a mobile sheep yard in the field. It is also a great option for producers on ring-fenced sites without several miles of travel between land parcels.”

    The Forklift Porta-Yards features a four-year ‘Best of Breed’ warranty from Landquip NZ. Units are available for delivery from Wise Agriculture. Learn more at www.wiseag.co.uk
