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.
Future-Proofing Your Farm
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
Designed to Last, Built to Perform
Our systems are engineered for durability and ease of maintenance, with features tailored to suit different livestock operations, herd sizes, and property layouts. Technipharm solutions aren’t oneze-fits-all — they’re custom-built for your farm.

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.

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
