Gallagher Rolls out Electric Fence Line

By Amanda Brodhagen, Farms.com

Gallagher launched its newest line of fence chargers, i Series Fence Energizer Systems. The series was designed for its North American market.

“These Energizers deliver so much more information into the hands of the producer. It’s like having six people out on your farm constantly measuring the current and voltage of your fence and reporting the information back to you,” said Gallagher spokesperson Mark Harris.

Models are available in three sizes - 1200i, M1800i and M2800i. All three models are equipped with hand controllers which allow the producer to monitor fence performance. Additionally, the hand device can be used to turn it on and off and make adjustments to voltage strength. The hand device can be controlled up to 160 feet away.

Other features include monitoring through cell phone coverage. Producers can receive updates on problems relating to fencers via text message. Gallagher touts that its newest series will provide peace of mind to livestock producers.
