TORNADO MAINTAINS MARKET LEADERSHIP
»»
AS THE INNOVATOR OF high tensile agricultural fencing in the UK, Tornado offers a wide range of fencing products for both general and specialist agricultural use. Under the banner of‘ Talk to the Fencing People’, the company is also focusing on its dialogue with customers.
The Tornado product range covers all bases in both mild steel and high tensile, ranging from HT8 / 80 / 15 standard livestock fencing, through poultry and equestrian fencing to forestry, animal parks and infrastructure.
Suitable for all livestock, including sheep and cattle, HT8 / 80 / 15 is the most widely used specification of high tensile stock fence. Tornado HT Stock Fence strains tighter than mild steel and so requires fewer intermediate posts, making it quicker to erect. It does not stretch with weathering and so does not need to be retightened annually.
Tornado is also supporting product innovation in the sector. An example is Torus, a premium fence product, manufactured with a high pressure bonded smooth knot and a continuous vertical stay wire. This means that Torus is safer and stronger to use with livestock, especially in equestrian applications. The product has been so successful that the company has had to install a second machine at its factory in Millom, Cumbria.
Meanwhile, Lambsafe is a net which offers a cost-effective solution for sheep farmers. This is a fence which is specifically designed to combat a problem which farmers face of sheep losing their tags when they pull their heads back through the fence. This can add up to a significant unwanted cost, when it happens many times over.
Tornado has also created a suite of high tech tools designed to make fencing projects easier to plan and more accurate. These include a fence configurator, a Quote Builder- a tool available free-of-charge to professional contractors- and the Tornado Track App, downloadable from the company’ s website or from the App Store.
During the summer, farmers will have the opportunity to see Tornado products at The Royal Highland Show, The Royal Welsh Show, The NSA Sheep Event and The APF Forestry Show.
