Crowding Tub & Alley Systems
For-Most
crowding tub and alley systems consist of individual components
that can be configured into almost any design that will accommodate
your needs. Our support staff will help you design a system
that will meet your needs and provide the optimal handling
environment. Study our features and you will discover that
a well thought out system will pay for itself many times over.
Inferior systems will end up costing you more in the end due
to inefficient flow, added stress or injuries to your cattle
and your help, or they just aren’t built to last like
For-Most.
The
tub and alley are completely reversible so they may be set
up to match your site requirements - left, right, half circle
or straight ahead. Tub and alley panels feature rugged construction
with 2 3/8” 10-gauge round tubing and 1 1/2” 14-gauge
square tubing throughout, giving you a product that will last
for many years. Complete your working system with a For-Most
chute for the ultimate in cattle handling equipment.
 
The outer
end of the rugged swing-gate is supported by a roller that
rides on the top rail of the tub. This eliminates pressure
on the gate, preventing the gate from sagging over time to
provide long-lasting, safe operation. Positive ratchet with
lock prevents kick backs, ensuring operator safety during
any weather conditions. Swing-gate is sheeted to 40”
for protection with open bars to 66” to allow cattle
driving.
2-way tub exits (90° or 135°) divert cattle exiting
the tub to two different alleys. 90° also available with
double alley system.
 Our
unique alleys are designed to keep you on the ground and off
dangerous catwalks. An innovative adjustable overhead grill
system prevents cattle from climbing & turning around.
Alley bows control the directional flow with 6’ or 8’
V’d solid panels forming the solid alley. These heavy
duty panels pin to the bows and are easily removed for clean
out or to access an animal in an emergency.
Our top
grill prevents animals from climbing and turning around in
the alley, a common occurence in alleys without grills. The
grills adjust from 54” to 64” high to accommodate
all sizes of livestock.
 Single
alley sections are 30” wide at top and taper to the
bottom that adjusts from 22” down to 18”. Mounting
pads on alley bows are provided for permanent installation
to concrete.
Overhead alley stops drop behind cattle as they pass through
the alley preventing cattle from backing away from the chute.
Overhead stop also helps prevent injuries to the animal’s
ribs or sides. Alley panels and grills are also available
in 2’, 3’, 4’, or 5’ lengths for customized
setups.
Double
Alley
 Nothing
on the market today provides a better, more efficient cattle
handling system than the For-Most Double Alley system. For-Most
was the first company to manufacture an alley system that
provides two side-by-side adjustable alleys coming out of
the tub. The reason this system works so well is that the
cattle see a large 5’ escape hole which they readily
go through. Once inside the double alley, the cattle are then
funneled into a single alley and then into the chute.
The system
keeps cattle calmer because they don’t need to be prodded
and worked up just to go into the alley, therefore, they stay
calmer all the way through the chute. It’s a fact that
cattle perform better with less stress and there is nothing
you can buy that is less stressful than a For-Most working
system that includes the Double Alley.
Our innovative
double alley design lets you quickly adjust the width of each
alley from 30” down to 20”. The adjustment is
easily made with no tools in just minutes. The outside panels
are sheeted so the cattle can’t see out, but the inside
panel is open so cattle remain calmer because they are standing
next to a buddy.
The double
alley is a great way to increase alley capacity per linear
foot of working area. You will be truly amazed at how much
faster and easier cattle can be worked in this system.
