Fencing gear driven to a new level

Written by 

A POST wedge, triangular steel post reel holder and multi-wire tread-in steel post launched at National Fieldays embody feedback from customers, farmers and contractors, says the maker, Robertson Engineering. The products are branded Strainrite.

 

General manager Brian Collins says the new post wedge, attached to the bottom of posts before driving, prevents them lifting and twisting – “a simple idea that’s ideal when posts are driven into dips or low points on a fence line, where they are subject to lift and [would otherwise] need special footings.”

The wedges (galvanised) are nailed to the lower section of the post and, once driven, their shape diverts soil, stones or other obstructions. The number needed for each post is decided by the fencer, depending on the strain the post will come under. Price $4.00 incl. GST.

  The post reel holder can be set at any height on a standard with a locking pin, to attach a reel. “With more clips several reels can be attached,” says Collins. “There is a ring on the back for attaching other fences.”

Strainrite’s multi-wire tread-in steel post suits multi-wire electric fences. It can be shifted while the fence is electrified, helped by a well-placed insulated section with a hand grip.

It carries tape and electric wires. The angled clip at the top carries 40mm tape and the four clips are angled so that tapes do not drop out when the fence is being shifted.

The shaft is made of galvanised spring steel and the foot is pressed form steel shaped for good ground retention.

Price $36.00 for 10 incl. GST.
