Arrowquip designs, manufactures, and distributes livestock handling equipment (manual and hydraulic cattle squeeze chutes, adjustable alleys, crowding tubs, panels, gates, and portable handling systems) and commercial-grade zero-turn mowers (Yakta 120, 320, 720). Equipment is engineered around low-stress animal handling principles, including the proprietary 3E System, and is sold primarily through authorized dealer networks across the USA and Canada to ranchers, feedlot operators, and rural property owners.

Product overview

Arrowquip (formerly Arrow Cattlequip) is a Canadian company that designs and manufactures livestock handling equipment and outdoor power equipment. The product portfolio centers on two main categories: (1) Cattle Handling Equipment comprising manual chutes (Arrowlock 55/75/88 Series, Easylock 33), hydraulic chutes (Powerlock 105/1075/108 Series, Major and General Feedlot chutes), adjustable alleys (Easy Flow Elite/Pro), crowding tubs (3E BudFlow and standard), panels and gates (Arrow Elite/Pro), portable handling systems (Heeler series, portable chute/alley/tub combinations), and accessories; and (2) Outdoor Power Equipment comprising the Yakta zero-turn mower line (120/320/720 models). The products are engineered around low-stress animal handling principles (3E system) and include commercial-grade durability for ranchers, feedlot operators, and property owners. The company was founded in 1988 and merged with Yakta (zero-turn mower manufacturer) to offer a broader equipment range under the Arrowquip brand.
