For any farmer, efficient livestock handling is essential — not only for productivity but also for safety, accuracy, and animal welfare.
ALGAR, an established South African manufacturer of agricultural equipment, understands this dynamic and offers durable, practical solutions for cattle and sheep farmers across the country. From award-winning neck clamps and kraals to their latest innovation, an advanced drone trailer, ALGAR consistently proves why they are a trusted name in the industry.
Cattle and sheep handling: Safety begins with the right equipment
ALGAR is already well known for their excellent livestock handling equipment, which significantly improves work efficiency and reduces the labour required to complete tasks
ALGAR’s neck clamps and handling kraals are designed with two key priorities in mind: the protection of the animal and the safety of the worker.
The neck clamps ensure that cattle can be quickly restrained and handled. Vaccinations, dosing, tagging, or other tasks can be performed with minimal stress on the animal.
Their patented design for sheep and cattle neck clamps includes features such as easy adjustment, firm gripping mechanisms, and convenient access that allows one person to perform tasks alone. The robust steel structure ensures durability and is built to withstand tough South African conditions.
Farmers who incorporate this equipment into their operations report faster workflow, fewer injuries to both animals and workers, and more accurate treatment of individual animals — a significant advantage in modern farming, where time and precision are crucial.
ALGAR specialises in livestock equipment, whether for small or large animals. Their equipment is robustly built and offers many benefits to the farmer. Getting more work done, faster, and with fewer people, is a winning formula for any livestock farmer.
New drone trailer: The future of farm support
ALGAR’s latest creation, the drone trailer, is a groundbreaking addition for any forward-thinking farm.
The trailer is specially designed to serve as a mobile launch and landing base for drones, complete with built-in charging stations, storage, a workstation, and a power generator.
With this trailer, farmers can take their drone operations — whether for spraying pesticides on crops, applying fertiliser, or more — anywhere on the farm. It saves the farmer time, as drones can recharge on the trailer, and the storage tanks are sufficient to cover several hectares.
At NAMPO 2025, ALGAR showcased their full range of products — from livestock kraals and neck clamps to the new drone trailer — demonstrating that South African manufacturing remains world-class. Visitors had the chance to experience first-hand how safe and easy the neck clamps are to use, and the ALGAR team was ready to answer every question with dedication to practical solutions and standout service.
The drone trailer was one of the major attractions at the stand — a sign of where agriculture is headed and how ALGAR is helping pave the way. Their presence confirmed that they support farmers not only with kraals, but also with innovative thinking.
Whether you’re a commercial cattle farmer in the Free State, a game farmer in Limpopo, or a sheep farmer in the Karoo, ALGAR’s equipment is designed with your challenges in mind. They understand the demands of the farm and develop equipment that works, lasts, and helps you to move your farming forward.
