Cattle Guard Foundations

Our precast concrete cattle guard foundations are engineered to simplify installation by eliminating the need for on-site cement pouring. Designed to fit with our 8' flat-top rail cattle guards, these foundations ship ready to be installed directly into the ground. Each foundation includes pre-installed 3/4" J-bolts that align perfectly with the cattle guard, allowing for a quick and secure attachment.

The heavy-duty footers ensure your cattle guard is securely anchored, providing long-lasting support for vehicles and livestock management. These foundations are very heavy and require that appropriate mechanical equipment be available on-site for unloading.

The Importance of a Solide Cattle Guard Foundation

A durable and stable foundation is crucial to the long-term performance of your cattle guard, especially when supporting the weight of heavy vehicles and livestock. Our Precast Concrete Cattle Guard Foundations are designed to provide the essential support needed for your cattle guard to function safely and effectively.

Built to withstand the demands of highway traffic, these foundations eliminate the need for on-site concrete pouring, saving time and reducing costs. Each foundation comes with pre-installed 3/4" J-bolts, allowing for quick and secure attachment to your cattle guard. The solid concrete base ensures your cattle guard remains anchored, preventing shifting or sinking under heavy loads, including vehicles and equipment regularly crossing over it.

Why a Solid Foundation Matters:

  • Weight Support: A solid concrete foundation distributes the weight of vehicles and livestock evenly across the ground, ensuring your cattle guard remains in place and operational for years.
  • Prevents Movement: Without a proper foundation, cattle guards can shift, reducing their effectiveness and safety. These precast foundations anchor the guard securely, preventing any unwanted movement.
  • Longevity: A properly installed concrete foundation protects your investment by preventing damage caused by soil shifting, erosion, or heavy use.

Specifications:

  • Pre-installed 3/4" J-bolts for secure attachment to cattle guards
  • Designed to fit flat-top rail cattle guards
  • Requires mechanical equipment for unloading - they're very heavy!
