Taragate - new zero standards

Written by  Staff Reporters

Taragate will be launching an all new 'ZERO' range of Ringtop fence standards at Fieldays.

"Our pigtails have been extremely popular for many years, so it made sense to build a new range around this perennial favourite," says Kerry Powell who has been developing products for his family-owned business for over 30 years.

Known for its extra heavy-duty 9mm metal foot that resists bending, making it ideal for clay or stony ground conditions, it made sense to incorporate this feature into the Heavy Duty Ringtop unit, as well as the all new Live Post. The range also includes a lightweight Ringtop standard, with a slimline glass filled foot.

All standards in the Zero range are manufactured from tough powder coated spring steel to minimise bending, while the live Ringtop eliminates wear and tear and decreases tangling. With zero wear on the top and zero tangle at the foot the standards are said to be great to use, with the alternative foot designs offering a solution for use in most types of ground.

For those preferring a traditional pigtail standard, Taragate still offer their popular and proven 970mm, conventional design, featuring the heavy duty 9mm metal foot, a longer insulator for safer use and strong 6.5mm bend resistant spring steel shaft.
