Following recent updates to its feed line offering, PigTek of Milford, Indiana, has announced new five-year limited warranties on select products.

The company’s anchor bearing, stainless-steel boots, and stainless-steel control units now come with the industry-leading warranties for customer peace of mind.

Next, PigTek’s stainless-steel boots come with a five-year warranty. The boots were recently updated with solid welded seams, unlike products that are more prone to failure due to weaker spot-welded designs.
