Electronic Torque Control System
The Hoover Crowd Gate uses an electronic torque-controlled motor system that adjusts pressure automatically. This eliminates unsafe drive-over systems and reduces the risk of injury to cows.
Auto Stop Protection
If a cow goes down in the holding pen, the system automatically stops movement to prevent harm.
Increment Advancing
Controlled forward movement allows smoother cow flow and faster parlor loading without excessive force.

HooverAg crowd gates gently guide cows from the holding area into the milking parlor, without the need for workers in the pen. Built with electronic torque control, Hoover gates automatically sense resistance and stop, preventing injuries to down cows and eliminating the risk of overcrowding. The result is calmer cows, faster parlor loading, and less stress on both your herd and your crew.
Electronic torque control senses resistance and stops automatically, so down or slow-moving cows are never pushed or driven over. A calmer holding area means less adrenaline and better milk letdown.
No more sending workers into the pen to chase cows toward the parlor. The crowd gate does the guiding, freeing your team to focus on milking and monitoring cow health.
Eliminate the need for manual labor in the pen, let the spreader handle caked, damp, or tightly packed bale material.
Built with a direct drive system that reduces mechanical complexity, meaning fewer parts to service and less downtime.
Watch how HooverAg crowd gates move cows smoothly into the parlor, no chasing, no yelling, no workers in the pen. With electronic torque control and increment advancing, your herd stays calm and your parlor stays on schedule.
A crowd gate is a movable barrier that runs from the back of the holding area toward the parlor entrance, gently guiding cows forward into the milking parlor. It reduces empty space in the holding area and keeps cows moving at a steady, comfortable pace.
How does Hoover’s electronic torque control work?
Instead of one long continuous push, the gate moves forward in short, controlled intervals. This gives cows time to respond naturally and move toward the parlor on their own, reducing stress and overcrowding at the front of the holding area.
Hoover spreaders use a quick-attach system compatible with skid loaders and telehandlers. Standard, quick-tach, and custom mount options are available.
Hoover crowd gates are designed to work alongside all major milking equipment brands. Just let us know what you’re running and we’ll make sure everything integrates smoothly.
Yes. The spreader’s teeth are designed to pull apart caked and matted material that would otherwise need to be broken up by hand.
Yes. By shredding and distributing material evenly rather than dropping it in clumps, most operators get significantly more coverage per bale. Some have reported cutting bedding usage nearly in half.
Every farm operates differently. HooverAg builds durable products designed around real-world needs, so you get solutions that work the way you do.
