Portable ATV Cattle Gaurd Doubles As Loading Ramp
The guard consists of two 48-in. sq. ramps and a 24-in. wide bridge that holds the center 18 in. off the ground. It's constructed out of heavy-gauge 1-in. sq. tubing.
T-posts can be attached to brackets on either side of the ramp and used as anchors. Wire is then strung between the T-posts and the gate posts. An optional in-line fence connector is also available. When you're done using the guard you just flip up the two sides, pin them into place, and haul the unit away in your pickup.
"It provides easy access to calving pastures and to pens or any other fenced-in area," says the company. "It's especially useful for people who have difficulty standing or dismounting from an ATV. You can haul the guard and your ATV in a pickup, then unload them and use the ATV to check on cattle. The unit is light enough to be portable so it can easily be moved to a different location if desired."
Unit can also be converted into a ramp for loading ATVs onto pickups.
Comes in a blue or green color. A walk-through gate that unfolds to the side of the guard is also available.
Sells for $195 plus S&H.
