The 'Scotpen' mobile
sheep handling system is thoughtfully designed with some unique features and
is manufactured with care in lightweight aluminium.
Designed and built for 'Scotpen
Quality' in preference to quantity, the bars and panels are
specially designed
for strength and durability.
Easily hitched to a tow-bar, the
'Scotpen' can be transported and safely maneuvered in
yards or fields.
|
| Designed with a
single man operation in mind, the 'Scotpen' can be
erected in less than twenty minutes.
With the front mounted jack in
place, The 'Scotpen' is raised to give the wheels
ground clearance. The wheel locking pins are removed and the
wheels eased off the axle.
The jack is then lowered to
rest the 'Scotpen' on the ground. |
|
 |
The Scotpen' panels and gates are
all 40" high and stored in the
centre of the race from where they
are easily removed for assembly.
The 'Scotpen' panels, gates and the gate frames
are all available in three widths to enable the optional construction
of spacious holding pens at the entrance, exit and sides of the race.
|
| The 'Scotpen' gates and
panels are manufactured from a simple molded design and are welded
on both sides to ensure strength.
All the panels and gates are of solid
construction at the sheep's eye view, to lessen their desire to
escape; thus reducing stress for shepherds and sheep! The
'Scotpen' is also easy to clean to maintain hygiene
When erecting this example, we had a
few interruptions from our young assistants! They wanted to help but
then... |
|
 |
...the boys decided to
demonstrate the strength and versatility of the Scotpen's
panels...
...and insisted on another photo of
their Scotpen Panel 'Bridge' too!
Creating some light-hearted and
amusing photos but we know they also prove a point! |

 |
The 'Scot pen'
draw-bar is raised and then becomes the release
gate, which is easily operated from either side at the front or back of the
race.
The 'A' frame above the release gate
on the 'Scotpen' is fitted with two holders for aerosol cans for marking the sheep, etc. |
|
Two or more, 'Scotpen'
panels can be erected and using varied gate and panel widths,
will form a cone shaped shoot, to funnel the sheep with ease from
the holding pen towards the race. |
|
A unique 'Scotpen'
feature is the Tip-up, one-way,
height adjustable, half-gate at the entrance to the race, which prevents the sheep from
backing out when they are in the race. |
 |
Other unique design
features on the 'Scotpen' are the two internal
drafting gates fitted in the race and very easily operated from the front
or back of the race. They can be
used to guide a single sheep forward or to keep them back.
One of the 'Scotpen' drafting gates can be
also opened
at the side of the race to separate the sheep and release them into a holding pen
erected beside the race if necessary.
In no time at all the 'Scotpen'
is ready for work and all you need are the sheep! |
|
Remember that the
'all metal' 'Scotpen' can help you to keep your
sheep scab free! |
| Once the job is
done, just as easily the 'Scotpen' is packed
away and moved on to the next task! |
|
Extra panels are
available if required.
Delivery
can be also arranged if required.
