What solutions are available for transport and storage?
Flexible and robust containers are indispensable on every farm. They are used to transport crops, animal feed or building materials.
Big Bags for heavy loads
The Big Bag is an all-rounder. With a load capacity of 1500 kg and dimensions of 90 x 90 x 90 cm, it offers plenty of volume. A closed bottom is a crucial detail. It prevents fine bulk material from trickling through or the bag from sinking into soft ground.
Tip: You can also use Big Bags to store winter grit or fertiliser. This keeps your materials dry and easily accessible.
How flexible can fences and gates be?
Modern pasture and land management often require mobile and adaptable solutions. Rigid fences are not always the answer.
The flexible gate system
The Flexigate system sets new standards in this area. With a length of 19 metres and a width of 20 mm, it spans large openings. Its key advantage is its ability to adapt to uneven terrain.
For other applications, variants such as the Flexigate Band or the Flexigate Rope are available. The band is wider and therefore more visible to animals. The rope is slimmer and suitable for lighter-duty separation.
offers maximum flexibility for large gateways thanks to its length.
Warning: Flexible systems are no substitute for a permanently installed, animal-safe main fence. Always check their suitability for your type of animal in advance.
Sturdy panels for horses
Horse keeping requires sturdy units. The Pony Panel-6 Box Set combines standard panels with a special gate panel. The different heights and widths allow for a modular setup.
Which tools do I need for manual maintenance?
Powered equipment is not always the best choice. For sensitive areas or small spaces, hand tools are often more precise and quieter.
The complete peening set
A scythe is ideal for mowing grass verges or hard-to-reach corners. However, a sharp blade is essential. The Dengelmax Extra set includes everything in one package: a quality scythe, a whetstone and the required scythe ring.
ensures that all components work together perfectly. Putting the individual components together separately is often more time-consuming.
How can I improve safety and visibility?
Small aids can make a big difference. They help with organisation and accident prevention.
Chains for safe lifting and securing
A single-leg GK8 chain with a clevis hook is a versatile aid. With a length of 2 metres and a thickness of 8 mm, it is suitable for tying down, securing loads or use as a temporary pulling anchor. The clevis hook enables quick and secure attachment.
Spray paint for marking
The 1-component carpet spray paint in anthracite has surprisingly many uses. Mark dangerous edges, recolour worn rubber mats or identify personal tools. The 400 ml can is easy to handle and the paint dries quickly.
offers a subtle yet clearly visible colour for these purposes.
Note: Always test the spray paint on an inconspicuous area first. This ensures that it adheres well to the material in question and provides the desired coverage.
