Palco 985 Chute w/Rumber® Floor

Overview

The Palco 985 Chute w/Rumber® Floor offers an advanced solution for livestock operations that demand both safety and performance. Built on a heavy‑duty frame, this chute is designed to handle high‑volume use in feed‑lots, ranch yards or handling facilities.

One of its standout features is the Rumber® flooring—a composite material engineered to resist corrosion, reduce slipping and provide a quieter, more controlled environment for livestock movement. Studies show that Rumber® floors are highly durable under high load and wet conditions.

Key Features & Benefits

Technical Specifications

Applications & Uses

This chute excels in operations where throughput, safety, and durability matter most. In feed‑lot settings, the Palco 985 with Rumber® flooring handles heavy traffic of cattle, reduces downtime due to wear or corrosion, and improves the flow of animals through handling lanes.

On ranches or commercial operations, the quieter flooring and heavy‑duty construction provide a better experience for both the operator and livestock. The composite floor is especially beneficial in moist or wash‑down environments where steel floors might degrade faster.

For livestock handling facilities, this model provides configurable access through integrated side exits and fold-down panels, allowing for seamless integration into larger, more complex handling systems. Its adaptable design supports efficient animal movement and improved workflow, making it an excellent choice for both new installations and system upgrades.
