New Headbails for 2017!

After many hours designing, prototyping and testing we are proud to introduce our new Standard and Heavy Duty Headbails.

The brief was to make a new design that could be mounted in a left or right hand orientation, be easier to adjust, be taller to reduce the gap under the unit and off course to look good!

Here is how we did it:

This headbails are all supplied as right-hand units, as in the photo.
To change it to a left-hand model all that is needed is a 16mm or adjustable spanner, undoing 3 bolt and moving the latch tongue and ratchet handle to the other side.

Width adjustment is now easier than ever. Simply remove the top pin and move the fixed yoke into the desired position and replace the pin, the bottom now locates in a plasma cut hole in the bottom of the frame. 

The frame in now 50mm taller, this means when mounted correctly the gap under the headbail is now 250mm, less chance of those lambs sneaking out for those of you with multipurpose yards.

We have also fully sheeted the unit so the animal has only one place to put its head making bailing easier. Also as you can see we have now cut our logo into the front of the headbail and we think this looks good!

​We need to thank all our customers that gave us feedback and suggestions on improvements we can make to our products, We hope you all like our new design.

Cheers
