A cattle grid stops you getting out of the ute, then the cattle still need a gate beside it. That second gate is the one you keep opening by hand.
Compare the whole gateway job, including vehicle access, cattle movement, installation and usable width.
Send the gateway width, vehicle height and cord count. ControlAg can help you compare the right UpGate setup.
Ask about your gateway
UpGate is a patented, solar-powered automated farm gate that lifts electrified bungy cords overhead. Farmers operate it from up to 100 metres away and use the same opening for vehicles and cattle.
A cattle grid only automates the gateway for vehicles. Cattle still need a manual gate beside it, and there is often no room for one.
Grids need level ground and specialist installation, and they carry a real injury risk if a cow puts a leg through.
A wide gateway usually needs two or three grids side by side, which can push the installed cost past $20,000.
Two UpGates give you a 15 metre wide automated gateway for $5,800 excluding GST, and both vehicles and cattle use the same opening.
