Ravensdown’s HawkEye Pro Wins Technology Award at Southern Field Days
Ravensdown's next evolution in smart farming technology, HawkEye Pro, was awarded the Technology Section Award at the Southern Field Days Farm Innovation Awards in February 2026.
Said to be ideal for carting maize, grass and cereal crops during harvest, and in the offseason, able to handle soil and gravel, they offer greater versatility throughout the year.
Offered with an extensive range between 8 and 29 tonnes, TMK series units can be specified in 2 or 3 axle configurations.
Looking at the trailers in more detail, stability on uneven ground is achieved by combining a wide-gauge chassis, combined with a suspension assembly, which uses a dual system where axles are positioned above the parabolic springs. The result delivers a range of movement of up to 30cm for ground compensation, while the Jumbo Gigante Plus System can also impart a further 20cm lower centre of gravity over Fliegl’s other impressive suspension systems.
Fabricated from complete hollow steel sections, unlike the more common welded U-section profiles, the fully galvanized frame ensures maximum strength and torsion resistance. The chassis also features a gimbal-mounted tipping cylinder with a limit-switch, and in the case of higher specification models, heavy-duty tilt bearings mounted directly onto the chassis frame.
The TMK dump trailer range boasts a heavy-duty cross bridge and floor frame (5mm thick) for torsion resistance and optimum tilting performance, reinforcement sections pressed from single steel and sidewalls pressed from 4mm single sheets for maximum strength.
Standard equipment includes a tipping angle of up to 55 degrees, mudguards, LED lights, an under-ride guard and a 400mm x 230mm grain chute. Other equipment includes 500mm deep galvanised body extensions, inspection window and ladder, a swiveling tow eye and a choice of mechanical or hydraulic parking jack.
The TMK 190 FOX dump trailer is built to appeal to farmers and contractors wanting a quality unit at a competitive price. A compact trough design allows better maneuverability around the farm, despite its 27m³ capacity. The Titan tandem suspension assembly uses central pendulum storage of the springs providing exceptional stability.
The TMK269 PROFI dump trailer can offer further benefits to large farm operations and contractors, not least a more comfortable towing experience, delivered via hydraulic drawbar suspension and heavier build of the frame, axles, and suspension.
Supplied with the Jumbo Gigant parabolic suspension assembly, the PROFI uses a pendulum axle with the springs mounted in the centre of the unit to provide excellent stability. Being 20cm lower than other Fliegl suspension systems, the TMK269 PROFI, with a 35m³ capacity (with extensions), compact shape and short frame makes it ideal for hill country operations.
