LOADING RAMPS • CRUSHES • REPAIRS
Cattle Loading Ramps & Crushes
Steel loading ramps made to suit the trucks and trailers you load, and cattle crushes built to order for your yards. Old ramps, crushes and head bails repaired on site.
Ramps And Crushes Made For Your Yards
Iron Works fabricates cattle loading ramps and crushes to order in our Mount Pleasant workshop and welds them in place on the property. We also repair the ones you already have: cracked frames, worn floors, broken gates, sloppy pivots and head bails that no longer close properly.
A ramp or crush is only as good as the way it fits your yards. We look at how stock come up the race, which trucks and trailers load there and how much room there is at the top and bottom, then build the steel to suit.
Ramps and crushes are bigger farm jobs, and we are happy to take them on, from a single new crush to a ramp, race and crush built together. Send photos of the yards and the loading area and we will quote it.

Loading Ramps & Crushes: Common Questions
Do you build cattle loading ramps?
Yes. Iron Works fabricates steel cattle loading ramps to order in our Mount Pleasant workshop, built to suit the trucks and trailers you load and welded in place at your yards.
Do you build cattle crushes?
Yes. We build crushes to order to suit your yards and stock, and repair existing crushes, head bails and side gates on site.
Can you repair an old loading ramp?
Yes. Cracked frames, rusted or worn floors, bent sides and broken gates are repaired on site, so the ramp can keep working rather than being replaced.
What should I measure before ordering a ramp?
The deck heights of the trucks and trailers that will load there, the room at the top and bottom of the ramp, and how it joins your race and yards. Photos of the yards help us quote.
Can a ramp or crush be added to my existing yards?
Yes. We can build a ramp or crush into the yards you have, and rework the race or forcing yard so they line up.
Which areas do you cover?
We are based at Mount Pleasant SA 5235 and build and repair ramps and crushes across the Adelaide Hills, the Barossa and the Murraylands. We travel further for bigger jobs.
