Tornado Wire’s Pro-Strain™ System Wins Silver at LAMMA 2025 for Livestock Innovation
)
Tornado Wire, a leader in fencing solutions, has secured the prestigious silver award in the Livestock Innovation of the Year category at LAMMA 2025. The accolade recognises the revolutionary Pro-Strain™ System, which has been praised for transforming the way livestock farmers manage and maintain their fencing infrastructure.
What is the Pro-Strain™ System?
Tornado’s innovative Pro-Strain™ is a fence straining system offering key benefits over alternative systems. Pro-Strain™ was created following extensive feedback from some of the UK’s top agricultural fencing contractors looking for steel systems with better performance. Pro-Strain™’s registered designs can replace traditional wooden strainers that often suffer from a short lifespan or contain harmful chemical treatments.
Pro-Strain™ Benefits
- Larger, more robust than other steel alternatives
- Installation easily adapted to specific ground conditions and topography
- Hot Dip Galvanised steel for longevity, without potentially harmful chemicals
- Lighter-weight components than timber, so ideal for poor access installations
- Simple and rapid to install, with fewer tools required, no chainsaws needed
- Straining posts and pegs can be driven by machine or manually
- Adjustment allows the system to be fully pre-loaded, minimising movement when the fence net is then attached and tensioned
- When used in conjunction with steel intermediate posts like Clipex®, the whole fence has the benefits of galvanised steel lifespan and can be fully and easily recycled at the end of life
- Alternatively, Pro-Strain™ can also be used with wooden intermediate posts, thus giving the client confidence in the installation-critical end-strainers
Why It Matters
Effective fencing is crucial for livestock management, ensuring animals remain safe and secure while minimising the risk of escapes and predator incursions. Tornado Wire’s Pro-Strain™ System addresses common pain points such as time-intensive tension adjustments and the frequent need for repairs due to wear and tear. By streamlining these processes, the system allows farmers and land managers to focus more on their livestock and less on maintenance.
Installers who have already adopted the Pro-Strain™ System report significant time savings and increased confidence in their fencing’s reliability. This innovation is especially impactful for large-scale operations where efficiency is key.
