Te Pari Acquires NZ Sheep Handler Brand Combi Clamp
Oamaru-based livestock handling specialist Te Pari has bought Combi Clamp, the New Zealand manufacturer of Combi Clamp manual sheep handlers.
Proudly carrying the Made in New Zealand badge, Te Pari says the Lenta Cattle Crush range is the result of listening to the needs and feedback of farmers.
Many of its features are based on valuable input from users in NZ and abroad, making livestock handling easier, safer and more efficient.
One of the standout features of the Lenta range is its hot-dip galvanized steel frame, providing strength, durability and longevity in the harshest farm conditions. The company says this makes it a reliable and cost-effective investment for farmers.
Incorporating non-slip flooring, the Lenta range is available with three different side-access gate configurations, ensuring ease of access and safety for farmers and animals. The head bail of the crush comes with a lifetime guarantee on the lockbox, providing assurance and also demonstrating Te Pari’s confidence in their equipment.
The top of the range MX Crush features an easy-touse parallel squeeze operation, allowing users to easily adjust the crush to restrain or prevent smaller animals from turning around, improving handling efficiency, but also reducing the risk of injuries to animals and the handlers.
