The Peakhandler air rotate is a multi-purpose machine designed for easy restraint and handling of sheep. Air-powered, automatic turnover crate action requires little physical effort.
The machine is suitable for merinos, crossbreeds, prime lambs and rams. The Peakhandler has been designed and built for use by graziers or contractors and can be operated easily by an inexperienced person.
The use of curved, tubular materials in contact areas, plus the ability to regulate the pressure applied to the body of each sheep results in minimal stress and discomfort to the animals during processing.

EFFORTLESS
Air-powered rotation presents a fresh sheep and disposes of the processed sheep automatically, always leaving two sheep in the machine. With the sheep held inverted a full crutch can be performed without any back-bending at all.
SUPER-FAST PROCESS
When crutching, 2-3 sheep per minute can be processed by an experienced operator with a helper to keep up the supply of sheep. Sheep interchange time can be as fast as 1-2 seconds depending on the type of sheep.
ADJUSTABLE
Adjustable pressure, working height, cradle and gates allow for processing a wide variety of sheep effortlessly.
PRACTICAL DESIGN & LOW MAINTENANCE
All components are durable and long-wearing. The air system requires no lubrication, filtering or servicing. Storage undercover is desirable to extend the life of the machine.
PORTABLE
The Peakhandler will fit in a 6’ x 4’ box trailer or can be easily loaded into a Ute or tray back. 6” rubber wheels are attached with fold-down handles for easy movement on a firm surface. Operations can be carried out in the woolshed, permanent yards, and mobile yards in remote locations or can be set up on purpose-built trailers for larger or contract operations. Wheels and drawbar can be added for extra mobility.
SAFE AND FRIENDLY
The risk of injuring sheep through breaking legs, bruising, crushing etc. is eliminated with the use of the Peakhandler. It is user-friendly and safe; eliminating bending, dragging, lifting and pulling. The risk of being kicked or injured by an unrestrained animal is also eliminated with the use of leg restraint and proper restraining techniques.
