As a leader in electric fencing technology for over 85 years, Gallagher has consistently pushed the boundaries of what’s possible, finding solutions that combine advanced engineering with user-friendly designs.
When it comes to portable and temporary electric fencing, Gallagher’s business development manager – fence Graeme Mulligan says Gallagher offers an extensive product range that reflects the diversity of Australian farmers, and the needs of their properties.
“Portable fences are easy to transport, assemble, and take down, making them the perfect solution for short-term animal control and rotational grazing, as well as tree and water protection.
“Rotational grazing is an excellent way to maintain pasture productivity and increase animal performance. It’s an efficient way to utilise the land area, and often increases animal nutrition and weight gain by providing controlled access to fresh pasture.
“Portable fencing is a versatile solution for fencing any type of animal, even on the most remote area of your property. Gallagher offers a market-leading range of products designed to make your temporary fencing system easy to put up, take down, and maintain.”
Mr Mulligan said effective portable fences are made up of three main components:
- the conductor (braid, tape or wire)
- the posts, and
- the energizer.
“Reels hold the tape, braid, or wire for a portable fence, and make it easy to wind it up when you are moving or taking down the fence.
“The Gallagher Geared Reel is an instrumental element in any portable fencing system. Built to last, the Geared Reel is hardwearing and easy to use, with practical features such as a transport lock and heavy-duty gearbox for a simple fence set up.”
Gallagher also offers a Pre-Wound Reel with 600m Turbo Braid which is optimal for a fast fence set up, with included braid. Gallagher offers a selection of different conductors that are compatible with geared reels, to suit different needs and animals.
Mr Mulligan said when considering which posts are right for you, Gallagher has a range of heavy-duty, easy-to-install treadins and pigtail. The Gallagher Ring Top Post is a popular option for dairy and cattle fencing, with stomp and tangle-proof features to eliminate shorting and damage to the fence.
“With a design innovated by consulting farmers, the Ring Top Posts set a new standard in portable electric fencing, including a high-strength nylon head and foot, and both a standard and heavy-duty model to suit different needs and budgets.”
Portable and temporary electric fences can be powered by any solar or battery energizer or can be connected to an existing permanent fence. Mr Mulligan said Gallagher Solar Energizers are a cost-effective and efficient way to power your fence. They are fully self-sufficient and convert solar power into electricity that gets stored in a battery, meaning the Energizer is just as effective at night and during periods of low sunlight.
“There is a wide range of solar Energizers available from Gallagher, suited to differing fencing needs. They are all portable and easy to install, making them perfect for temporary fencing systems, and they can also be used to power permanent fencing. All Gallagher solar Energizers are backed with a 3-year warranty for peace of mind.”
Gallagher has a team of territory managers nationwide to support resellers and cater to the fencing needs of Australian farmers and help them get the most out of your fence.
