PAKADERINGA Feedlot's Cattle cable crimper

What's the issue/challenge?

Fixing heavy cattle cable to eyelets can be a time consuming, difficult job, and can often pose a personal safety risk. Pakaderinga Feedlot's Cattle Cable Crimper innovation has helped their maintenance team bypass these issues.


How does the innovation/idea work?

The Cattle Cable Crimper makes attaching cattle cable to eyelets safer, faster and easier. It achieves this by mechanically putting a tight 180 degree bend in the cable, which facilitates easy fitment of cable clamps. Watch the above video to see the Cattle Cable Crimper in action.


Cost of Innovation:

$100 - 150
