SQ Livestock Gate by FFC Fencing
At FFC, after many years of the frustrations of trying to deal with unresponsive and unprofessional gate manufacturers, the decision was
made late in 2008 to begin manufacturing our own line of livestock gate. We did not arrive at this decision quickly or without significant
research. After this extensive research and testing the new SQ gate was born.
Over 35 years of livestock handling experience has been used in designing and building the FFC SQ livestock gate. During those 35
years, FFC has found that a gate design needs to address a number of problems:
1. A gate needs to have lateral strength to resist bending. The SQ gate is fabricated from heavy gauge square tubing because of the up to 40% increase in strength that square tubing offers over
round. Examine the photos below to see how these SQ gates performed in an actual strength test.
2. It needs to swing easily in all types of conditions. The SQ gate was designed with five bars rather than six which allows it to be installed high enough to clear snow or bedding build up,
and still match the top line of a fence.
3. It needs a hinge system that can handle its weight. The custom designed and fabricated, heavy duty hinge on the SQ gate will not turn and let the gate sag. The 3/4 x 12 bolt hinge makes
the level of the gate easily adjustable.
4. The gate needs to remain attractive and resist rust. The SQ gate is fabricated using tubing galvanized inside and out to assure a long life with no need for paint.
And, most importantly, a gate must be supplied by a dependable and committed company that is responsive to its customers and delivers
what it promises. FFC has proven that level of service for the last 35 years.
