Overview

The Heavy-Duty Hydraulic Squeeze Chute Built for Efficiency and Safety

Every rancher knows that safe and efficient cattle handling is the backbone of a productive operation. Whether you’re working calves or mature cows, a reliable hydraulic squeeze chute isn’t a luxury—it’s a necessity. The Hydraulic XL (HiQual) Squeeze Chute by Sioux Steel delivers professional-grade performance that combines strength, precision, and speed to make herd management easier and safer than ever.

This chute was designed for the largest feedlots but comes at a price that everyday ranchers can afford. With an extra-long frame, double palpation doors, and full hydraulic controls, it gives you the flexibility to perform essential tasks—vaccinations, hoof trimming, branding, deworming, or veterinary exams—without putting stress on your livestock or your crew.

The hydraulic operation ensures smoother, faster processing compared to manual or mechanical chutes. Ranchers can operate the system with less manpower, making it a labour-saving solution that pays for itself quickly. The chute features a scissor-style headgate and hydraulic side adjustments that securely hold cattle in place, while a side exit provides an emergency release option for added safety.

Animal comfort has been carefully engineered into the design. Adjustable squeeze width at the floor and belly means the chute accommodates everything from calves to mature bulls. A pressure release valve and parallel squeeze ensure cattle stay calm, minimizing stress and improving productivity. When livestock are handled with less stress, they gain weight more consistently and maintain better overall health.

Built from 58,000 PSI high-tensile tubular steel, this chute is made to last. At over 2,600 lbs, it’s solid, stable, and dependable. The hydraulic controls are open-center, offering smoother operation and compatibility with multiple hydraulic power sources. Plus, with 25’ of hydraulic hose included, you can set up the power unit away from the chute to reduce noise—keeping cattle calmer and easier to manage.

Other thoughtful details include drop-down side boards for better access, neck extenders for added control, and pre-drilled holes for mounting weight bars if you want to integrate a scale system. The XL model also comes with 20” of additional chute length, providing extra working space without sacrificing stability.

Whether you run a small family farm or a high-volume feedlot, the Hydraulic XL Squeeze Chute is built to deliver long-term value. By reducing labour requirements, improving safety, and boosting cattle welfare, it becomes an essential investment for any ranch serious about efficient herd management.
