Why it matters

Squeeze Chute Warranties: Why It Matters

Long-term cost

A chute is a 20 year purchase for many ranches. Longer coverage lowers the risk on a big spend.

What is covered

Frame, locks, floor and hydraulics are often covered for different lengths. Read which parts are included.

Proof of quality

A maker offering 15 years expects the steel and welds to hold up.

The details

Squeeze Chute Warranties: The Details

The warranty is the maker’s promise to repair or replace parts that fail from defects. Chute warranties range widely, from one year to fifteen.

The headline number is only part of it. Many warranties cover the frame for one length of time and moving parts, locks or floors for another.

Questions

Squeeze Chute Warranties: Questions

What is the longest squeeze chute warranty?

Arrowquip lists 15 years on the 8700, 8800 and 1080.

What does a chute warranty usually cover?

Defects in materials and workmanship. Many split coverage between the frame and wear parts such as locks, floors and hydraulic parts.

Does the warranty cover damage from cattle?

Usually not. Warranties cover defects, not damage from misuse or accidents. Read the terms.

Why do some chutes not list a warranty?

The maker or store does not publish it in the listing. Ask the dealer and get the terms in writing before buying.

Is a lifetime warranty on locks worth it?

Locks and latches take the most wear, so lifetime coverage on them is useful. Priefert and Arrowquip list it on some models.

Do I need to register my chute for the warranty?

Many makers ask you to register the purchase. Keep your receipt and serial number.

Does a used chute keep its warranty?

Often not. Most warranties cover the original buyer. Ask the maker.

How do I make a warranty claim?

Contact the dealer you bought from with photos, the serial number and your receipt.
