Benefits of Working With ProWay

ProWay’s aim is simple, to design and build livestock handling products that make livestock handling more efficient and safer for our clients.

By designing yards to utilise natural stock movements and instincts, ProWay provides a safer and less stressful working environment for both livestock and operator.

Although efficient manufacturing is important at ProWay, our aim is not to mass produce panels. It is to build yards and livestock handling products to suit our client’s site and operations.

Most farmers design and build 2-3 sets of yards in their lifetime, at ProWay we design and build 2-3 sets per week. It is this experience that enables ProWay to provide its clients with proven designs and innovations that make their stock handling safer and more labour efficient.

ProWay Livestock Equipment is a company that can provide solutions to your livestock handling requirements.

ProWay offer an integrated design and planning, budgeting, manufacture and site installation service for livestock handling facilities.

We have been employed by private and public organisations to design, manufacture and install livestock handling facilities. These organisations include Cargill Australia, Wagga Wagga Saleyards, Tasman Meats, Roadcon, Western Australia Meat Marketing Co-Operative and Wanderribby Feedlot to name a few.

The cornerstone of our business is our team of five stockyard designers, they have over 40 year’s experience collectively.

The designers use information about the site, gleaned from site survey or satellite information. This is combined with consultation with managers to design state of the art facilities. This collective knowledge of the ProWay design team will make sure all industry issues are considered, including;

• Stock flow and safety of animals.
• Need for labour efficiency.
• OH & S issues.
• Various industry standards and Australian standards.

ProWay have a manufacturing base in Wagga Wagga, NSW, with a workshop staff of 30 people. All fabricators are tradesman or apprentices. A variety of machines are used, including section rollers, folders, a dedicated sheet metal rolling line and a plasma profile cutter to achieve economical production of sophisticated design.

ProWay have a five person draughting team producing workshop drawings and orders. Most projects are drawn in 3D auto cad program for accurate, economical fabrication.

Contract yard installers can be supplied to travel to the site to install yard systems. All contractors have good knowledge of our product and the standards required. Using our pre-fabricated product the time is minimised on site, from start to completion.
