The Arrowlock 8818 is the most complete portable cattle handling system in the Arrowquip lineup. Designed for ranchers who need a full-scale working facility that can move between pastures, the 8818 combines the heavy-duty Arrowlock 88 Series Squeeze Chute, an 18-foot Easy Flow adjustable alley, and a collapsible crowding tub into a single, towable unit.
The standout feature of this system is the Arrowlock head gate. Unlike the Q-Catch friction lock, the Arrowlock uses a rugged ratchet locking mechanism. This provides a guaranteed, multi-setting hold that ensures even the most aggressive bulls can't back out once they’re caught. The barred head gate design also utilizes natural light to draw cattle forward into the chute, significantly improving flow and reducing operator fatigue.
Efficiency is built into every foot of this 18-foot unit. The Easy Flow Alley narrows from 31.5" down to 21.3", preventing cattle from turning around, while the collapsible tub folds in on itself to shorten the unit by over 5 feet for safer, more compact towing. With a fully integrated hydraulic jack system for fast setup and a true virgin rubber floor for superior traction, the 8818 is the "gold standard" for mobile cattle processing.
