E-Series 8ft Cattle Crowding Tub – Smooth, Safe, and Space-Saving

Handling cattle efficiently and safely is one of the toughest challenges ranchers face daily. Animals can easily become stressed, handlers can be put at risk, and bottlenecks can waste valuable time. The E-Series 8ft Cornerless Cattle Sweep Tub from Lakeland offers a compact yet powerful solution designed to keep cattle moving smoothly, reduce stress, and streamline your handling system.

Unlike traditional sweep tubs that often have sharp corners or awkward layouts, this cattle crowding tub uses a fully cornerless design to guide livestock naturally forward. Cattle instinctively follow the curve of the sheeted panels, which means fewer stops, less hesitation, and calmer animals. This makes the process safer not only for your livestock but also for ranch hands who can stay out of dangerous close-contact situations.

Space efficiency is another standout feature of the E-Series 8ft model. Its compact design makes it perfect for smaller setups or mobile operations where space is limited but effective cattle flow is still a top priority. Despite its smaller footprint, it delivers the same reliable performance you’d expect from larger handling systems.

The construction is built for durability. Made from heavy-duty 2” square tubing and 14–16 gauge sheeted steel, this sweep tub is engineered to withstand the daily demands of ranch life. The powder-coated finish adds long-term protection against rust, ensuring that this equipment lasts for years even in harsh outdoor conditions.

Safety has been a top priority in its design. The cattle sweep tub is fully sheeted to 51 inches, reducing distractions that can spook animals and preventing handlers from being exposed to sudden kicks or pushes. This keeps the entire system calm, controlled, and predictable—essential when moving large animals.

Ease of use is another key benefit. The sweep gate comes with 12 latch points, giving you precise control over cattle movement. This flexibility makes it easier to adjust flow as needed, whether you’re guiding animals into an alley, a squeeze chute, or sorting them into different pens.

Integration with other Lakeland equipment is seamless. The sweep tub pins directly to Lakeland alleys, squeeze chutes, and other handling components, allowing you to build a full-scale, professional-grade system tailored to your ranch’s needs.

For ranchers working in tighter spaces or with mobile systems, this cornerless crowding tub is a game changer. It saves labour by reducing the number of handlers needed, protects livestock by minimizing stress and injuries, and boosts efficiency by keeping cattle moving smoothly without delays.

In short, the Lakeland E-Series 8ft Cornerless Cattle Sweep Tub is compact, durable, and built to perform. It’s a must-have piece of equipment for any rancher serious about safe, efficient, and stress-free cattle handling.
