The Immobilizer sheep handler is a truly multi-purpose machine. It provides access for sheep husbandry operations with the sheep squeeze clamping action. Optional modules enable sheep/lamb weighing and EID (Electronic Identification), data recording, drafting, and crutching.
Sheep are gently immobilized and safely restrained, suitable for handling all-sized lambs and grown sheep, including rams. Automatic clamping of sheep using an electric sensor means a stress-free and fast processing of animals. The operator can do other things with the electric eye, automatically clamping the sheep, knowing the sheep will be caught. With the Immobiliser being air-powered, there is no effort needed from the operator to restrain sheep, meaning a big day in the yards does not have to be physically exhausting. The Immobiliser does the work, not the operator!

REQUIREMENTS
12-volt battery. 8-10cfm air compressor (80-120psi)
CONSTRUCTION
The Immobilizer’s construction is all steel and fully galvanized using precision laser-cut components. The working parts are completely enclosed. Two stretched rubber pads clamp the sheep using quick-acting air chambers located internally.
PORTABLE
The Immobilizer can be operated in almost any location and can be quickly and easily set up or broken down for transport. It will fit in a 6’ x 4’ box trailer or easily loaded into a ute or tray back. The unit has 6” rubber wheels and fold-out handles for easy movement over a firm surface. Operations can be carried out in the woolshed, permanent, and mobile yards in remote locations or on purpose-built trailers for larger or contract operations.
EFFORTLESS
Automatic clamping using the sensor allows for quick, non-forced self-loading of sheep by one person using little physical effort. A push button releases the sheep, ready for the next one. A good leadup system allows sheep operations to be done quickly and easily.
LOW MAINTENANCE
No lubrication is required due to nylon bushes in all joints and hinge points. The air system requires little maintenance except for cleaning the filter.
