360 Degree Rotation




The B.P. 360° Rotary Livestock Containment Chute was first built in 1985 and was designed by a practicing veterinarian. The concept combines the features of a squeeze chute housed within 87 1/2" diameter channel iron rings that can rotate the Chute to any position within those rings. An XL size Chute is also made with 98" diameter rings.


The headgate on the Electric/Manual model is available with either a left hand or a right-hand pull handle. Headgate dimensions are 25" wide x 64" high when fully open, and 4" wide when closed.

The headgate on the Hydraulic Model Chute is fully hydraulic. Headgate dimensions are 25" wide x 64" high when fully open, and 4" wide when closed.

The tailgate on both models is a manual operated chain/ladder system that can be raised or lowered and covers the entire back entrance to the Chute.



The Chute main frame consists of 3" x 3/16" wall square tube and 1/8" sheet steel. The top portion of the removable side is square tube bar that can be lowered in pairs and unlatch on top with pins and springs, and fold down to rest against the bottom portion of the sides. The bottom portion of the side is a solid sheet steel panel. The middle section of each of these sheet steel panels are also removable via handle and pin/latch mechanism. The middle panels, when removed, provide a 22" x 38" access area to the animal. The removable floor is 3" x 3/16" square tubing outside frame with .3754" x 1.5" opening galvanized wire floor mesh.

The rotation rings are 4" channel iron with .320" web thickness - flange wall thickness of 1.885". A smaller drive ring is the moving force behind the Chute. A roller chain is fastened to the drive ring and to the electrical or hydraulic power source. The rotation wheels that roll in the channel iron rings are 3" x 6" phenolic wheels complete with roller bearings.

The Chute backrest is completely padded (with 1½" ensolite foam and 3/16" vinyl) for support of the animal when the Chute is rolled. The backrest is 16" wide and 87¼" long and is raised and lowered by mechanical hand crank and cable. The backrest is attached to the top of the Chute main frame.

The overall size of the standard Chute is 98" long x 100" wide x 96" high. The Chute main frame inside dimensions are 82" long x 30" wide x 72" high. The Chute alley when fully squeezed is 14" wide. The operating height inside the Chute with the backrest fully raised is approximately 68".

The overall size of the XL Chute is 102" long x 104" wide x 116" high (with the power unit mounted on top of the Chute). If the power unit is removed, the height is 102". The Chute main frame inside dimensions are 84" long x 48" wide x 79" high. The Chute alley when fully squeezed is 14" wide. However, if the Squeeze Bottom option is ordered, the alley is narrowed to 9". The operating height inside the Chute with the backrest fully raised is approximately 72" Both models are rated for 3,000 lbs.



The Hydraulic B.P. Chute hydraulic system consists of a single phase 2 HP motor/1725 rpm/60 Hz/230/208 volts/850 PSI pump with 3 gallon reservoir tank; 10 micron filter with service gauge; equipped with a 40 to 1 worm gear speed reducer driven by a Char Lynn Motor. The power unit needs to be wired directly to the power source and an electrical control switch needs to be installed on site. The Chute is operated by a "feathering" hydraulic hand control valve which has the capability of running at full open speed or at various slower speeds depending upon the speed at which the operator manipulates the handles. The hydraulic system is connected via 1/4" thermoplastic hose and related heavy duty crimp fittings.


The Chute is designed to be incorporated into some type of on site alley system and can be used for intricate surgeries or routing processing. Controls can be mounted on either side of the Chute to accommodate the owner.


Below are the name and accompanying description of all optional accessories:

De-horning table - Steel de-horning table (manufactured by Hagie Mfg.) is available to be attached to headgate.

Bottom Squeeze - Bottom squeeze capability available on hydraulic models only. This option allows for the frame of the Chute to squeeze at the floor level. Two additional 2" bore-8" stroke cylinders are affixed to the bottom of one side of the Chute main frame. One side of Chute frame is pushed in to provide a squeezed alley width of 9" at the bottom.

Ring guard/motor guard package - Steel guards can be welded throughout both rings and around the motor/chain mechanism for safety purposes.

Hinged headgate - Headgate can be made to hinge and open to either side for easy removal of a down animal. If the headgate is swung fully open, it adds approximately 38" to the overall length of the Chute.
