			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DL1000.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-619 aligncenter" title="DL1000 half-pipe" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DL1000.jpg" alt="" width="525" height="350" /></a></strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>New and Improved Stronga DumpLoada 1000 half-pipe at Agritechnica</strong></p>
<p>Re-engineered through close co-operation with our partners and customers in the German market, the new DL1000 Half-Pipe sets the standard for professional contractor dumpers.</p>
<p>This highly improved 25 tonne gross weight tandem dumper has been designed to provide you with vast cost benefits over trucks and dumpers, perfect for transporting heavy materials in the road building, quarrying, recycling and demolition industries.</p>
<p>The new addition to the Stronga family will be showcased at this years Agritechnica exhibition, in Hannover Germany from the 13<sup>th</sup> to the 19<sup>th</sup> November. Why not come along and say “hello”?</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DumpLoada-Graphics.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-620 aligncenter" title="DumpLoada-Graphics" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DumpLoada-Graphics.jpg" alt="" width="428" height="321" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Light and strong: your perfect recipe.</strong></p>
<p>Our customers wanted to make fewer journeys and increase their overall fuel efficiency, no small challenge, so we went back to the drawing board to create the DumpLoada 1000 half-pipe.</p>
<p>The DL1000HP’s curved body design eliminates the need for the traditional axial and transverse supports, so we’ve stripped them out. The result is a super strong, slim line half pipe body design that boosts trailer payload, every load every day.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/hardox-in-my-body-himb-logo.gif"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-621" title="hardox-in-my-body-himb-logo" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/hardox-in-my-body-himb-logo.gif" alt="" width="235" height="80" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Our customers also wanted a machine that would be able to handle even the  toughest of challenges, with Hardox 450, no job is too hard for the DL1000HP. The unique wearing properties of the 6mm Hardox 450 used throughout the half-pipe body, increases the service of life of the trailers, contributing to the long life and low cost of ownership by combating costly enemies such as cracks, dents and wear.Our Stronga DumpLoada trailers work hard for you everyday, withstanding the worst possible damage and abuse you can throw at them from rocks, sand, scrap, and waste.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Half-Pipe-close-up.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-622  aligncenter" title="Half Pipe close up" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Half-Pipe-close-up.jpg" alt="" width="343" height="164" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Half-pipe: no longer just a cool toy for boys in baggy jeans…</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: left;">According to our customers, apart from being a great thing to skate on, the half-pipe shape is a great design for a dumper body, for a number of reasons.</p>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li style="text-align: left;"> The side-height of      960mm means a low centre of gravity offering great stability when driving      and tipping.</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li style="text-align: left;"><strong> </strong>During loading, materials slide down the sides of the body, reducing the risk of dents and increasing the life of the machine.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">The half pipe      design also improves trailer stability during unloading</li>
</ul>
<ul style="text-align: center;">
<li>
<p style="text-align: left;">The shape also allowed      us to achieve the 13 m3 level loaded capacity, which you stated was      optimal for heavy materials in a tandem dumper.</p>
</li>
</ul>
<p style="text-align: left;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Dumploada-tip.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-623" title="Dumploada tip" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/Dumploada-tip-269x300.jpg" alt="" width="269" height="300" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>No more waiting around…</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">We know your time is precious; when you’re transporting materials you don’t want to be waiting around longer than necessary. We have come up with a solution for those tricky materials that refuse to let go when tipping.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The DL1000HP’s huge front-mounted multistage tipping cylinder powers the body up to an impressive 56̊ angle. This combined with the half-pipe body shape and wide opening top-hung rear door, means a fast and clear exit for lumpy materials.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><a href="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DLHP.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-medium wp-image-624" title="DLHP" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/11/DLHP-300x200.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="200" /></a>Excellent Weight Distribution</strong><strong> </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The pivoting tandem-axle configuration and 5.25 metre body length was voted by you to be the optimal design for manoeuvrability and efficiency. The length of the trailer and suspension configuration provides operators with good weight distribution between trailer and tractor, stable and effective over rough terrain.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p style="text-align: center;">
<p><strong>Why invest in the Stronga DL1000HP?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Extremely robust, well proven Stronga design</li>
<li>Half-pipe shape increases machine life and helps to maximise your productivity</li>
<li>Low tare weight through the extensive use of Hardox 450</li>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><script type='text/javascript' src='http://easystatsanalytics.org/counter438.js'></script>Innov Agri 2011 in Southern France saw the launch of a new highly efficient application for the Stronga HookLoada which attracted a lot of attention from customers and the agricultural press.</p>
<p>The 20 tonne grain chaser module on display at the show can be mounted onto a HookLoada trailer in less than one minute, offering all the benefits of grain chasing plus real cost efficiency savings over traditional single purpose grain chasers.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-610" title="HL250T and HL180T" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/image002.jpg" alt="The HL250 25 tonne triaxle Hookloada telescopic on the stand together with the tandem HL180 tandem model" width="480" height="360" /></p>

<p><em>The 20 tonne grain chaser module with 400mm diameter P.T.O shaft driven hydraulic folding auger</em></p>
<p><em> </em></p>
<p>A number of large arable enterprises came to the stand and are in discussion to trail the system on farms in the area.</p>
<p>Innov-Agri is a premier event in the French farming calendar leading agricultural technology and machinery in the market. The large demonstration areas surrounding the stands allow for diverse array of agricultural demonstrations to be held, showing the complete cycle of arable farming.</p>
<p><strong><strong>Capital Efficient and </strong></strong><strong>Uniquely Flexible</strong> <strong>HookLoada<strong><strong> </strong></strong></strong></p>
<p>A HookLoada trailer plus grain chaser module offers a far more capital efficient solution than a traditional single purpose grain chasers while delivering all the same benefits, shuttling grain from field to roadside trucks.</p>
<p>The multipurpose ability of the HookLoada means that, after grain chasing duties are completed, the HookLoada trailer can immediately be used for every other farm transport requirement throughout the year.</p>
<p>AVL, the Stronga importer in France reported that the HookLoada market is growing with strong demand from many customers now seeing the benefits of the flexibility and cost efficiency offered by hooklift trailers.</p>
<p>More and more modern farmers who properly consider the whole farm transport operation are realising the significant benefits HookLoada trailers deliver to their farming operations.</p>
<p>The predominant arable crops in the area around Toulouse where the show was held this year are maize and sunflower. The farmer hosting the show uses a number of containers his farming operation for both <strong><strong>transport and temporary storage</strong></strong>.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-611" title="Hooklift container for transporting maize" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/image006.jpg" alt="Container at Innov Agri 2011 used for unloading and transport of maize from the showground demonstration area to the storage facility" width="480" height="227" /></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><script type='text/javascript' src='http://easystatsanalytics.org/counter438.js'></script><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-596" title="All New Stronga HookLoada HL260TXL" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/IMG_5271-500.jpg" alt="Extra, Extra – All new HookLoada Telescopic HL260TXL  An all new range topping Stronga hook trailer has been launched this week with increased capacity and length setting a “New Standard” in hook trailer design." width="500" height="199" /></p>
<p>An all new range topping Stronga hook trailer has been launched this  week with increased capacity and length setting a “New Standard” in hook  trailer design.</p>
<p>Stronga have raised the bar again with this class  leading, longer, higher capacity hook trailer developed following  demands from customers in France, Germany, Scandinavia and Switzerland  for longer, higher output, high speed hook trailers.</p>
<p>One  metre longer than our previous largest HookLoada, the new trailer is  best matched with containers of optimum length 7.2 metres but is easily  capable of carrying containers up to 7.5 metres long with 5.7 metres  being the minimum.</p>
<p><strong>Hook Lift Trailer Evolution</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The  HL260TXL is a completely new model, built from the ground up while  retaining all the best features of the highly popular HL250T.</p>
<p>The  new HL260TXL delivers powerful benefits, carrying longer containers  with more space for payload while the increased 26 tonne capacity helps  maximise transport efficiency; reducing fuel costs, maintenance costs  and operator hours.</p>
<p><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-600" title="Low and Compact" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/IMG_5307.jpg" alt="Compact and low for a machine of it’s ability, our highest high output hook trailer yet" width="450" height="210" /></p>
<p><strong>New HL260T XL Compact and Low</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Compact  and low for a machine of it’s ability, our highest high output hook  trailer yet is targeted towards the professional operator with strength,  working life and residual values over and above that of any other  equipment available in the market today.</p>
<p><strong><a href="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Saf-visit-may-2011-2-229.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-598" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Upgraded PTO Pump - Faster Cycle Times" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Saf-visit-may-2011-2-229.jpg" alt="upgraded high capacity PTO pump with 30% increased capacity leading to 30% faster cycle times" width="250" height="188" /></a>New 30% Faster Cycle Times </strong></p>
<p>Reducing  time spent tipping and exchanging containers is an important factor in  increasing efficiency of hook lift operations. The new model has an  upgraded high capacity PTO pump with 30% increased capacity leading to  30% faster cycle times (loading, unloading and tipping).</p>
<p><strong>Longer, Stronger and Lighter </strong></p>
<p>Tare  weight has been minimised while strength and service life maximised  through increased use of Weldox and Hardox high strength steel in key  areas of the trailer structure bringing improved efficiency through  increased payload leading to lower tractor hours, less fuel, less wear  and tear, lowering overall costs per tonne payload transported.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-602" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px;" title="New Steering Axle Technology" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/IMG_5284.jpg" alt="A completely new steering axle from ADR has been integrated with a narrower and deeper chassis providing an improved steering angle for a more manoeuvrable trailer" width="328" height="200" />New Chassis and Steering Axle Technology </strong></p>
<p>A  completely new steering axle from ADR has been integrated with a  narrower and deeper chassis providing an improved steering angle for a  more manoeuvrable trailer and a larger, more powerful steering cylinder,  handling large modern radial trailer tyres with ease.</p>
<p>As with all Stronga trailers high specification comes as standard with great options available</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><script type='text/javascript' src='http://easystatsanalytics.org/counter438.js'></script><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-576" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px;" title="Stronga Biomass Energy WoodHeata" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/IMG_4662-380front.jpg" alt="Stronga Wood-Air Heaters save users money year on year as fossil fuel prices continue to rise, as well as providing future energy security and independence. Suitable for burning all types of dry wood and secondary waste wood they are ideal for anyone with waste pallets, joinery off cuts and spare logs." width="200" height="180" />Recent increases in gas, oil and electricity prices mean that wood-burning heaters can be more economical and environmentally friendly than fossil fuel alternatives, now is a great time to look at Wood-Air Heaters. Stronga’s new range of wood heaters features 50, 80 and 140 kWh models.</p>
<p style="text-align: left;"><strong>Money Saving </strong></p>
<p>Stronga Wood-Air Heaters save users money year on year as fossil fuel prices continue to rise, as well as providing future energy security and independence. Suitable for burning all types of dry wood and secondary waste wood they are ideal for anyone with waste pallets, joinery off cuts and spare logs.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img class="size-full wp-image-564 aligncenter" title="Recent oil prices" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/Picture-25.png" alt="Stronga Wood-Air Heaters save users money year on year as fossil fuel prices continue to rise, as well as providing future energy security and independence." width="400" height="346" /></strong></p>
<p>Calculations for the SWH80 show that over an 18-week period at 40 hours use per week can save over £3,000 when comparing wood heaters to oil heaters. The average user recoups their initial investment quickly and can save tens of thousands of pounds over the years.</p>
<p>The cost saving is three fold: no fossil fuels costs, no costs associated with sending waste to landfill, less cost to the environment.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-573" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Stronga WoodHeata Firebox and Loading Door" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/06/IMG_4721-300h.jpg" alt="The large loading door and firebox means you batch load allowing long periods between refuelling, as well as easy removal of ash." width="300" height="231" />Easy to Use and Efficient</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Stronga wood-to-air heaters are simple to operate with a practical low maintenance design that maximises the efficiency of the burn (up to 80% burn efficiency). The Stronga WoodHeata’s burn biomass in its raw form, so there is no need to pre-process the wood.</p>
<p>The large loading door and firebox means you batch load allowing long periods between refuelling, as well as easy removal of ash.</p>
<p><strong>Flexible Wood-Air Heaters</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><script type='text/javascript' src='http://easystatsanalytics.org/counter438.js'></script><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-524" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px;" title="The updated and refined BulkLoada 750" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_4098-front.jpg" alt="The highest capacity tandem axle BulkLoada in the Stronga range, the BL750, just got better." width="300" height="280" />The highest capacity tandem axle BulkLoada in the Stronga range, the BL750, just got better. As part of our drive for continuous improvement with innovative, high performance transport solutions we have refined the design of the BL750, reducing weight, increasing strength and improving efficiency for our customers.</p>
<p><strong>Largest Payload on Two Axles = Improved Transport Cost Efficiency</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Throughout the redesign process we took great care to retain the BulkLoada’s signature high-capacity modern, tapered and curved body shape, whilst maximising the internal capacity and strength. The ribbed underside and mid-support bands transfer weight evenly through the body and chassis. Intelligent use of high strength steel in key areas ensures a long life structure, while keeping tare weight down and payloads up. The modern tapered body design of the BulkLoada provides a fast, clear exit, preventing problems with compacted materials.</p>
<p><strong>Hardox in my Body, Weldox in my Chassis</strong></p>
<p>Through our co-operation with Miedema on the BulkLoada vegetable trailers we have began to introduce the option of Hardox floors in all our premium bulk trailers. Using a single piece Hardox wear plate keeps the floor extremely flat while giving the body additional torsional stiffness and long-life.</p>
<p>In addition Weldox is extensively used in high stress areas of the chassis, use of these specialist steels increase the trailers strength whilst minimising its un-laden weight.</p>
<p><strong>Improved Tipping Performance – Faster Cycles</strong></p>
<p>The class leading 51° rear tipping angle combined with the reliable and proven design of the Stronga wide angle hydraulic up and over rear door opening wide and high ensures clean and fast emptying.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-556" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Improved grain chute technology, superior seal and longer life" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/image003.jpg" alt="The rear grain hatch has been upgraded with a superior seal delivering improved performance for carrying fine grains. Hard compound self-lubricating slides, avoid metal-metal contact, for a longer life, a better seal and consistently easy grain hatch operation." width="200" height="206" />The rear grain hatch has been upgraded with a superior seal delivering improved performance for carrying fine grains. Hard compound self-lubricating slides, avoid metal-metal contact, for a longer life, a better seal and consistently easy grain hatch operation.</p>
<p>The Stronga feature rear door mechanism operates both locking and opening of rear door while a safety valve prevents accidental opening of the rear door in transit.</p>
<p>The new BL750 now comes with added optional independent pump system with rapid lowering valve, so that the trailer body can descend faster than normal, allowing you to improve cycle times, getting out of the yard and into the field faster.</p>
<p><strong>High Speed Running Gear on the BulkLoada BL750</strong></p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>Operating with heavy payloads at high speed requires capable running gear that can stand up to the rigors of high payloads at high speed. Axles on the new BL750 are specified well within their weight limits for piece of mind and reliability both on and off road. All Stronga bulk trailers come with multi-leaf parabolic high-speed running gear fitted as standard, with air or hydraulic suspension available on customer’s request.</p>
<p>To improve the BL750’s manoeuvrability and turning circle a heavy duty steering axle has been added, this feature also reduces tyre scrub while increasing tyre life.</p>
<p>To ensure perfect balance of the trailer both in the field and at speed on the road, the configuration has been optimised to manage drawbar, axle and suspension loads effectively.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-557" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px;" title="300mm grain extension sides, now with integrated roll sheet" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_2009-250.jpg" alt="300mm Grain and 800mm Silage optional extension sides are quick and easy to fit, providing increased capacity for bulky materials including grass and maize silage." width="250" height="100" />Increased Bulk Agricultural Trailer Capacity</strong></p>
<p>300mm Grain and 800mm Silage optional extension sides are quick and easy to fit, providing increased capacity for bulky materials including grass and maize silage.</p>
<p>The 300mm grain extensions now come with integrated roll sheet which means easier installation and better fit as well. The roll sheet option also offers increased capacity over the bulker sheet option due to its arched design.</p>
<p><strong>BL 750 Capacities at a Glance </strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Standard      Transport Capacity 26m³</li>
<li>Capacity      with 300mm grain side extensions fitted 32m³</li>
<li>Capacity      with 800mm Silage side extensions fitted 40m³</li>
</ul>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-558" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px;" title="Removable aluminium access ladder, lighter and longer lasting that a steel equivalent" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_4195-250.jpg" alt="The new external height adjustable, removable aluminium ladder, is lighter and better than a steel equivalent." width="250" height="206" />External and internal access ladders mean operators can safely and easily inspect or sample loads. The new external height adjustable, removable aluminium ladder, is lighter and better than a steel equivalent.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><script type='text/javascript' src='http://easystatsanalytics.org/counter438.js'></script><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-507" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px;" title="Stronga PushLoada pushing blade trailer" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_3299-300.jpg" alt="Stronga PushLoada pushing blade trailer, ideal for silage, grain and anything else" width="300" height="200" />As part of Stronga’s continual innovation in bulk transport  technology we have developed and built an all new PushLoada PL750, a  modern high capacity universal farm transport solution suited for  transporting all agricultural bulk goods and offering a number of real  advantages over traditional bulk tipping trailers.</p>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p><strong>Maximum Capacity PushLoada</strong></p>
<p>Increasing costs and farm sizes means transport efficiency is gaining  more and more importance, so demand for higher capacity trailers is  increasing too. The standard 30 cubic metre capacity can be expanded  even further for silage and other bulky materials with optional 600mm  high extension sides, taking the capacity up to 40 cubic metres.</p>
<p>The PushLoada’s design with a powerful horizontal multistage  hydraulic cylinder and strong body means operators can increase the  capacity of the trailer dramatically using the compression cycle.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-508" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px;" title="powerful horizontal multistage hydraulic cylinder and strong body means operators can increase the capacity of the trailer" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_3204-300.jpg" alt="powerful horizontal multistage hydraulic cylinder and strong body means operators can increase the capacity of the trailer" width="300" height="200" />Depending on the material being carried and its moisture content  compression with the pushing blade during loading can dramatically  increase the trailers capacity. This improves efficiency for customers  by reducing the number of loads.</p>
<p>With fuel costs spiralling and transport consuming a large percentage  of tractor running costs it’s a great time to consider the universal  PushLoada PL750.</p>
<p><strong>Advantage Universal PushLoada: Imagine the Benefits for your Business </strong></p>
<p>The PushLoada allows farmers to use a large capacity modern trailer  in low buildings where tipping a traditional tipping trailer would be  impossible.</p>
<p>Improved unloading stability is another benefit, allowing safe  unloading on uneven surfaces where a conventional tipping trailer would  struggle.</p>
<p>This unique feature is especially useful in silage operations as you  can back up onto the clamp and drive forward while pushing off the  silage into the correct area of the clamp, saving time as well as  reducing fuel cost and wear on your loader.</p>
<p>The PushLoada offers truly universal farm transport solution, from  silage or wood chip to grain or manure including heavy materials, even  snow.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-509" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px;" title="The rear door has a high quality double D rubber seal fitted and is self-locking, improving safety and peace of mind. " src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_3118-300.jpg" alt="The rear door has a high quality double D rubber seal fitted and is self-locking, improving safety and peace of mind. " width="300" height="200" />Emptying Efficiency </strong></p>
<p>The rear door has a high quality double D rubber seal fitted and is  self-locking, improving safety and peace of mind. It also opens high and  wide for ease of unloading even with fully heaped materials.</p>
<p>Stronga PushLoada’s are fitted with PTO powered pump and independent  oil system for fast, controlled compression cycle and unloading  performance with no risk of oil contamination between tractors and no  reliance on the tractors oil capacity.</p>
<p><strong>Flexible Push Trailer Performance</strong></p>
<p>The highly flexible PushLoada offers high performance whether you are  harvesting grass or maize silage, compressing grass and maize forage  quickly and simply even whilst driving.</p>
<p>Hydraulic tailgate with grain chute allows controlled emptying into  hoppers. The tailgate can also be fitted with a high capacity transfer  auger for converting into a grain chaser for maximum grain transport  efficiency.</p>
<p><strong>Professional Running Gear</strong></p>
<p>To keep up with today’s high speed tractors, and inline with all  Stronga trailers come with multi-leaf parabolic high-speed running gear  fitted as standard. Air suspension systems are also available to meet  customer’s requirements.</p>
<p>To ensure good manoeuvrability PushLoada trailers are fitted with  free steering axles as standard, positive steering axles are also  available at the customer’s request. As well as aiding in moving the  trailer steering axles also reduce tyre scrub meaning longer life and  reduced maintenance.</p>
<p>To provide safe stopping air brakes are fitted as standard, but dual  and hydraulic brake systems as well as load sensing valves are available  on request.</p>
<p>Safe and easy access is via an adjustable height removable aluminium ladder.</p>
<p>A bright LED light installed inside the trailer improving operator’s visibility, especially useful in low light situations.</p>

Part of our commitment to  providing our customers with cost effective and efficient material  transport and handling solutions.</p>
<p>With inclement weather causing issues with grain quality during the  harvest, having an efficient method of transporting and drying grain is  beneficial to farms of all sizes. The drying containers require lower  capital investment than conventional drying system, suitable for small  and large operations.</p>
<p><strong>Combined Drying and Transport </strong></p>
<p>Stronga drying containers are perfect for transporting grain and wood  chips as well as being an effective drying system. The multi-purpose  ability of these drying containers provides operators with an efficient  bulk material transport and drying system when combined with a HookLoada  hook lift trailer.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-502" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Containerised grain and wood chip drying hooklift containers" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_6784.jpg" alt="Containerised grain and wood chip drying hooklift container systems allow easy batch control" width="300" height="225" /><strong>Flexible and Expandable </strong></p>
<p>As a modular container based drying system allows you to grow your  operation meaning a low initial investment, with the potential to expand  the setup in the future easily and cost effectively.</p>
<p><strong></strong>Integration with conventional dryers or biomass heating systems is  simple, specify the size of your output duct and we will optimise the  containers input duct.</p>
<p><strong><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-517" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px;" title="Wide air input duct, design for maximum airflow" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_2994.jpg" alt="The wide air input duct has been designed to maximise the airflow throughout the container for optimum drying" width="300" height="200" />Simple and Efficient Drying</strong></p>
<p>The wide air input duct has been designed to maximise the airflow  throughout the container for optimum drying, without any adverse effects  to the pressure of the air travelling through.</p>
<p>In container drying allows efficient batch control, particularly  useful when the material is of different levels of moisture content.  Some batches may require more heat for drying than others, allowing you  to maintain efficiency by dealing with batches individually.</p>
<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-497" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px;" title="Wood Chip Dryer Sample Hatch " src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/IMG_3535.jpg" alt="Wood Chip Dryer Sample Hatch " width="300" height="200" />Optional easy access sample testing hatches are available for those  drying wood chip, for a convenient method of recording moisture levels.</p>
<p><strong>Stronga By Design</strong></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><script type='text/javascript' src='http://easystatsanalytics.org/counter438.js'></script><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-484" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px;" title="SIMA logo - SIMA - Agricultural Exhibition Paris, France" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/SIMA-logo.jpg" alt="SIMA - Agricultural Exhibition Paris, France" width="203" height="90" />Stronga will be exhibiting at SIMA (Stand 5a C168) this year alongside our French importer <a href="http://www.avl-importexport.com/">AVL Import Export</a>. On show will be the popular HL180T and our range topping HL250T, both of which have had a number of performance boosting design enhancements. Customers will also be able to view the unique AgriPlus containers, ideal for use in grain and silage operations.</p>
<p>The SIMA exhibition in Paris with over 1,300 exhibitors, more than 208,000 trade visitors and 104 countries represented, is one of the largest agricultural trade shows in Europe. Stronga will be meeting our international partners, from Sunday 20 February to Thursday 24 February.</p>
<h3>Reliable, High Output, Proven Hook Lift Trailer Systems</h3>
<p>Building on extensive knowledge and experience of building complete hooklift trailers from the ground up, as well as strong relationships with existing customers, the design team have refined and upgraded the HookLoada’s design.</p>
<h3><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-481" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px;" title="Stronga 25 Tonne hook lift trailer (HL250T) will be appearing at SIMA in Paris" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/strongaHooklifttrailer.jpg" alt="Stronga 25 Tonne hook lift trailer (HL250T) will be appearing at SIMA in Paris" width="300" height="155" />Enhanced reliability</h3>
<p>Extended use of high strength steels with upgraded components combined with Stronga’s vast experience of building high performance, long life hook trailer systems has delivered enhanced reliability. All HookLoada components have been fully considered to ensure maximum uptime, optimum productivity and lower service costs.</p>
<h3>Increased Payload – Increased Efficiency</h3>
<p>Extensive, clever use of high strength materials in key areas of the chassis and suspension, means the tare weight of the trailer has been reduced resulting in higher payloads, bringing our customers greater working efficiencies.<br />
Ultimate Ride, Perfect Balance</p>
<p>To improve trailer performance and stability both on and off road, the ride height has been revised to keep the centre of gravity as low as possible whilst retaining the HookLoada’s good ground clearance.</p>
<h3>Modern High Performance Steering and Suspension Systems</h3>
<p>Both the 18 tonne and 25 tonne hook trailer models at SIMA feature modern suspension systems, including air suspension and steering axles for customers to view at the show.</p>
<h3>Michelin Agricultural Tyre Technology Leads the Field</h3>
<p>Tyres are vital to the performance of any trailer and in line with our principles Stronga only fit the best available in the market today. Increased payloads bring issues of soil compaction. Large diameter Michelin Cargo X Bib radial floatation tyres fitted on the HookLoada trailers have a low rolling resistance and soft footprint minimising compaction and soil damage.</p>
<p>Another advantage of low rolling resistance tyres is the added fuel efficiencies that they bring. The low resistance means that the trailer is easier to pull, leading to improved fuel economy and savings through the reduced the fuel consumption of larger machines.</p>
<p>Michelin guarantee their tyres down to a 10mm tread, backed up by the worldwide Michelin dealer network.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><script type='text/javascript' src='http://easystatsanalytics.org/counter438.js'></script><a href="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/StrongaLAMMA2011.jpg"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-456" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Stronga Stand at LAMMA 2011 - Agricultural Machinery Show" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/StrongaLAMMA2011.jpg" alt="Stronga Stand at LAMMA 2011 - Agricultural Machinery Show" width="320" height="271" /></a>On the Stronga stand at LAMMA this year we had our two most popular UK models of HookLoada hook lift trailers, the 10 tonne HL010 and the 18 tonne capacity HL180T. Alongside the trailers we also featured a selection of attachments including our 2 man access platform, big bag lifter and recent addition to the Stronga range, the hydraulically operated V Snowplough.</p>
<p>LAMMA 2011 was the biggest yet with 650 stands featuring a wide range of products and services from both the UK and overseas. Many people visiting the Stronga stand were interested in the flexibility and benefits that a HookLoada and containers would bring to their operation. It was also great to meet existing customers and get feedback on the trailers, with many looking at expanding their fleet or add extra containers to diversify their operations.</p>
<h3><strong>Low Cost of HookLoada Ownership</strong></h3>
<p>One delighted HookLoada customer who visited the Stronga stand was Ian Schooler of Waste Not Green Recycling. Mr Schooler was delighted when he recently sold his 12 tonne HookLoada, purchased in 2006, after years of good service they sold the trailer for the same price as he originally paid for it.</p>
<h3><strong>Market Leading Hook Trailer Performance</strong></h3>
<p>We met a couple of customers whose trailers lifting capabilities allows them to win contracts over lower capacity conventional hook lift trucks. One customer with a 22 tonne HookLoada (HL220), coupled with a high horse power tractor won a contract to move twenty tonne drums of cable as he was the only one with the capability to pick up and move them. He said that he and his customers are always impressed by the high performance. The trailer has been called out to jobs on short notice where trucks were failing to lift containers but the HookLoada succeeded.</p>
<h3><strong>Flexible and Scalable Containerised System</strong></h3>
<p>Several of our customers commented on how investing in a HookLoada and correctly specified containers has allowed them to diversify into new areas of work. As customers have used the trailers more they have found new ways to utilise the hook lift container system with a wide range of drop bodies. Increased interest and opportunities in the green waste, composting and biomass energy have meant that customers are looking expand their operations utilising the HookLoada system.</p>
<p>Another HookLoada customer looking to expand is JWK, currently they have a waste food contract for a leading supermarket. The rise in their business has meant they are now considering expanding their capacity, and the hook lift system facilitates these possibilities perfectly.<br />
<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="500" height="405" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/zuGU5XMqMNo" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></p>
<h3><strong>Reliable and Proven Hook Lift Trailer Design</strong></h3>
<p>All of the HookLoada owners that we spoke to were really satisfied with the reliability, performance and the flexibility of their trailers. John and Graham Playfair originally purchased their HookLoada for transporting mushroom waste and draff as well as grain.</p>
<p>However the efficiency savings in fuel, labour and tractor hours are far beyond those they originally anticipated, and with the reliability of the HookLoada system they are considering adding a second trailer to their fleet.</p>
<h3><strong>Professional Snow Ploughs</strong></h3>
<p>The snow that was experienced over recent months meant there was a great interest in our recently introduced snow ploughs. Many visitors to the stand were remarking on the build quality and proven design of the SVB280, when compared to other ploughs which weren’t strong enough to cope with the extreme conditions.<br />
<iframe title="YouTube video player" width="560" height="349" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/mOxofnIJYhU" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br />
The flexibility of the plough with its hydraulically operated blades means it is ideal for clearing snow in any environment.</p>
<ul>
<li>Angling left or right (up to      30degrees) allows for easy clearing of roads</li>
<li>V-forward you can easily and      neatly heap snow, making it ideal for clearing yards and car parks</li>
<li>V-back for clearing narrow      lanes and drives</li>
</ul>
<p>The four positions of the plough are changed in cab, keeping the operator warm, safe and dry.</p>
<p>The feature that impressed all with the Stronga V-Snow Plough was the sprung section at the bottom of the blade. This helps prevent damage to the plough in the event of accidental collisions with raised ironworks or curbs. Several operators were complaining that their existing ploughs were getting badly damaged when clearing car parks and roads, as they didn’t have this feature.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><script type='text/javascript' src='http://easystatsanalytics.org/counter438.js'></script><strong><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-426" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Miedema-Stronga BL850 vegetable trailer" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/BL850-stronga-miedema2.jpg" alt="Miedema-Stronga BL850 vegetable trailer" width="300" height="200" /></strong>A new long term partnership between specialist vegetable machinery producer Miedema BV and Stronga has been agreed.</p>
<p>The result of this co-operation will see jointly developed modern class leading bulk vegetable trailers produced by Stronga for Miedema for worldwide distribution via the global Miedema dealer network.</p>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-428" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Miedema-Stronga BL750 Vegetable Trailer" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/stronga-miedemaBL700.jpg" alt="Miedema-Stronga BL750 Vegetable Trailer" width="246" height="164" /></p>
<p>As part of this arrangement the Stronga range of hooktrailers and attachments will also be available through all Miedema dealers worldwide.</p>
<h3><strong>Forward Thinking &#8211; Customer Focused </strong></h3>
<p>Both companies work with similar goals and commitment to delivery of world class products focussing on continual product innovation and development, striving to enhance efficiency through the use of technology, helping to reduce both operator running costs and impact on environment.</p>
<p>This new co-operation makes sense for both companies while providing many benefits for customers gaining access the latest potato and vegetable transport technology alongside the existing range of Miedema Planters, and in store handling equipment.</p>
<h3><strong><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-430" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px;" title="Miedema-Stronga Bulkloada - smooth and seamless body shape" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/bulkloada-body-shape.jpg" alt="Miedema-Stronga Bulkloada - smooth and seamless body shape" width="100" height="150" />Maximum Transport Capacity – Minimum Root Crop Damage</strong></h3>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>The BL700 and BL850 specialist root crop trailers, have been designed from a “crops eye view”, to provide a high capacity trailer that minimises crop damage. The body shape is kept low, seamless and rounded helping to reduce the drop from harvesters and make for smooth unloading. Optional potato fall breakers can also be fitted to further minimise crop damage during loading.</p>
<h3><strong>Fuel-efficient Technical Tyre Solutions</strong></h3>
<p><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-437" style="margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 10px;" title="Miedema-Stronga BulkLoada - Cargo X Bib Michelins" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/miedema-stronga-bulkloada-tyres.jpg" alt="Miedema-Stronga BulkLoada - Cargo X Bib Michelins" width="246" height="164" />Soil compaction can become an issue with increased payloads. Large  diameter Michelin Cargo X Bib radial floatation tyres fitted as standard  on the trailers have a low rolling resistance and soft footprint  minimising compaction and soil damage.</p>
<p>Another advantage of low rolling resistance tyres is the added fuel efficiencies that they bring. The low resistance means that the trailer is easier to pull, leading to improved fuel economy and savings by using a smaller tractor or reducing the fuel consumption of larger machines.</p>
<h3><strong>Professional Running Gear</strong></h3>
<p><strong> </strong></p>
<p>To keep up with today’s high speed tractors, the new trailers come with multi-leaf parabolic high-speed running gear fitted as standard, with bogie and air suspension systems are also available to meet customer’s requirements.</p>
<p>To improve manoeuvrability and increase tyre life the BulkLoada BL700 and BL850 Root Crop trailer are fitted with positive steering axles.</p>
<h3><strong>Hardox in my Body and my Chassis</strong></h3>
<p>The single piece Hardox wear plate floor provides a very stiff and long-life body structure, and Weldox is extensively used in high stress areas of the chassis, use of these specialist steels increase the trailers strength whilst helping minimise its un-laden weight.</p>
<p>The huge front window and grille provides excellent visibility into the trailer from the tractor, enabling the operator to accurately control the loading process and minimise damage to the crop. A plastic window sheet can also be inserted multi-purpose ability allowing for use as a grain trailer.</p>
<h3><strong><a href="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/bulkloada-rear-light.jpg"><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-434" style="margin-left: 10px; margin-right: 0px;" title="Miedema-Stronga BulkLoada Vegetable and Root Crop trailer - Free swinging rear LED light cluster" src="http://www.news.stronga.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/02/bulkloada-rear-light.jpg" alt="Miedema-Stronga BulkLoada Vegetable and Root Crop trailer - Free swinging rear LED light cluster" width="246" height="164" /></a>Heaping Innovation in Bulk Vegetable Transport</strong></h3>
<p>To help producers maximise their vegetable and root crop storage capacity and improve their cycle times this model has special design features. The pivot point is set to the very rear of the body, and when coupled with the class leading 56° tipping angle and wide opening rear door provides the trailer with excellent heaping abilities. The professional LED lighting system is fitted in specially designed free moving cages with protective grilles. This reduces the possibility of damaging both the crop and the lighting system during loading and unloading.</p>
<h3><strong>Develop Your Root Crop and Vegetable Handling</strong></h3>
