An Update on the Name of Our Sheep Handling System
We want to let our customers know about an important change to the name of our sheep handling system.
The Combi Clamp trademark and trade name have been sold by their original owner to a third party. As a result, Ritchie is transitioning the sheep handling system we manufacture and supply to a new name.
A new name; the same Ritchie expertise behind it
The Ritchie Clamp→
While the name is changing, the people, knowledge and expertise behind the Ritchie product remain the same.
Our sheep handling system continues to be designed, manufactured and continually developed by Ritchie, with the same focus on quality, innovation and ongoing product improvements our customers expect, backed by the same trusted service and support from our team.
Customers can continue to come to Ritchie for the product, parts, advice and support they know.
What does the change mean for customers?
For most customers, very little changes.
The change relates to the name under which the product is marketed. Ritchie remains committed to the continued manufacture and development of its sheep handling equipment and to supporting both existing and future customers.
As we transition to the new name, you may still see references to the previous name in older materials, documentation or elsewhere. We are working through these as part of the changeover.
Find full specifications, features and dealer information on the Ritchie Clamp product page.
