Scissors Gate Lifts Straight Up

Scissors Gate Lifts Straight Up FENCING Gates “A scissors gate works where you cannot use a standard hinging gate ” says Kevin Sensenig with Sturdy Built Mfg in Denver Penn “The biggest use for it is in freestall barns - moving cows between alleyways ” The gate hinges like a regular gate to help crowd cattle But with gas springs its ability to swing up means it takes up less floor space “Dairy farmers appreciate the gate because it won’t block a feed bunk or freestall beds ” Sensenig says But the scissors gates do require barns with higher ceilings By doubling up using two gates latched in the center the gates can cover a wide space The gates are sturdy made with galvanized steel With only three rails they are not designed to be used for holding pens or for small livestock such as goats A 12-ft gate costs about $1 100 Gates can be custom ordered to size and shipped anywhere in North America Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Sturdy Built Mfg LLC 260 S Muddy Creek Rd Denver Penn 17517 ph 717-335-3030; sales@sturdybuiltmfg net ; www usagnet com/sturdybuiltmfg
