Cattle Handlers for High Performance

Choosing a Cattle Handler is important.. it will, to a degree, shape the future of performance on your farm, much like choosing genetics in your breeding program... Additionally the pH of beef post-slaughter has a major effect on beef tenderness.With levels of pH under 5.8 beef will be tender however when pH isbetween 5.8 and 6.2 this has beencassociated with greater toughness. Over pH 6.2 results in dark-cutting beef with poor shelf life. The level of pH is largely determined by the amount of glycogen that has been stored in the muscles pre-slaughter. Tenderness is probably the most important beef attribute, and this can be partly determined by animal age at slaughter, and pre and post-slaughter
management. Animals fed well and not stressed will likely have high glycogen levels and therefore will achieve a muscle pH associated with desirable meat quality characteristics.TechniPharm has a superb range of stress free cattle handlers to suit your needs from set models with specific features and benefits as well as the Infinity Custom build to a purpose range If you are after a product that has received many awards and the ticks all the desired boxes, that is safe and out performs all other handlers, a TechniPharm® Cattle Handler is your only choice.

Smart Cattle Handling by Technipharm – Designed for Longevity, Powered by Hydraulics
Farm Smarter, Not Harder
Technipharm understands that farming is a long game. As farmers look to improve efficiency, reduce physical strain, and extend their working years, the right handling systems become essential. Our innovative approach to cattle handlingcombines intelligent design with hydraulic power, helping farmers manage livestock safely, calmly, and with significantly less physical effort.

Design That Works With You, Not Against You
Every Technipharm cattle handling system is developed with input from real farmers. The result? Equipment that fits the natural behaviour of livestock and the day-to-day demands of New Zealand’s rugged farm environments. From quiet-entry races to adjustable crushes, our systems are built to streamline movement and minimize stress on both the animals and the handlers.

Hydraulics: Power and Precision
Hydraulics transform the cattle handling experience. With the press of a button, farmers can securely restrain, lift, or adjust stock without the physical effort or risk of injury that comes with manual systems. This means:


Less lifting, pushing, or manual forcing


Greater safety for handlers and animals


Faster, more precise operations


For older farmers or those managing stock alone, this technology offers a way to keep farming actively and confidently.

Farming for longer is about working smarter, not harder. With Technipharm cattle handling systems, you reduce wear on your body while improving operational efficiency. This means:


Less fatigue and injury over time


Increased daily productivity


Equipment that adapts as your needs change

What our clients tell us : 
 
Ross and I were introduced to the Technipharm brand cattle handler when we were fortunate to purchase a well-used second hand upspec model in 2020.  What was purceived as a luxury in farming has quickly become an absolute game changer for us.  In 2023 we traded in and upgraded to the fully galvanised midranger and had it custom made for our needs, a superb decision.
We find the headbale is quick and easy to operate, holding the beasts head further out in front and away from the handler giving us more room to work out the front. 
Having a vet access is paramount even just for weighing.  The extra space inside the handler enables our mature cattle to enter the space and have the back gate shut behind with ease.  Without the vet access it would be a tight fit for some of our larger cattle. Weighing cattle is a breeze, a job that either of us can manage singlehandedly and very efficiently. 
We use the bottom vet access gate locked behind for safe injecting as necessary and for any vet or AI work.
The split back gate is super efficient for stopping the next beast entering the crush.  Quality galvanising future proofs our investment. 
We are impressed with the sturdy construction and found both Steve and Charles excellent to work with while designing our new cattle handler. 
Thanks Technipharm for creating a safe and easy environment in the yards for our cattle duties.  Much appreciated. 
Cheers,
Ross and Colleen Hunter
Rockview Red Devons, NZ.

Infinity Range Of High Performance Cattle Handlers

High Performance Suitability To Purpose Designed For You

For many years many animal handling companies have been very limited in their offerings to farmers by what is commonly known as a model by model approach, fixed features to a price model 1 and so one. For the buyer this means a risk that either the equipment is under or over specifications to purpose. Often when the unit is on farm its to late to change. We are also seeing units made in China with very limited features and options, very limited design to purpose consideration and often substandard manufacturing quality. At TechniPharm we have 30 years of pride in both our equipment and designs. Our team in design and sales have always worked towards delivering to a purpose, rather than just a price. There is no point in proving cheap and low quality driven by price and not achieving the outcomes required on farm. We are certain we have the most thought through headbail and handling systems any company can offer. We have more equipment design awards then any other company in NZ or Australia The next step in design is giving our clients total control over what they want and need in a Handler. Where in fixed models you are stuck with a certain headbail or entry gate, in our new Infinity- Handler™ range you choose what you need by clear identification of the end outcome. This way of designing a Cattle Handler means purpose, price and design are perfectly matched. This new way of matching design to purpose is possible through a very clever piece of software which allows total interaction by the farmer in the ordering process. Once the parameters are know the system creates the Cattle Handler and confirms this via a price offer or invoice. The details of the design go direct to the manufacturing facility in Tauranga and your handler is manufactured exactly to the specifications you have decided to best meet your animal handling needs At TechniPharm we consider this a leap forward in using smart technology with market demands, call it an internet of things interruption In time we think hauling steel to Field days and shows be a thing of the past , there is a huge cost to this which is paid for in the end by the customer. The new way of ordering your handler with the absolute security that it is fit for purpose does not lay in a steel box on show... its achieved by understanding and matching what you do step by step and match design and final product to that need. This new Infinity-Handler™ totally engaged system allows for that to happen . The Infinity-Handler™ range is backed up by a 100% money back guarantee and a brand upgrade policy which gives you an 80% trade value guarantee towards the next model up within 5 years of purchase date.
