“Farmers were requesting lighter, suspended, quicker and more manoeuvrable vehicles. The elasticity of the thinner steel was compromised in the welding process so after some research we discovered the Huck-Fit LockBolt. Using Huck-Fit not only ensured we had a strong clamp force but helped to reduce the sprayer’s weight from 6.7 to 5.3 tons. The increase in spraying speed from 8km to 18km pleased the farmers. In addition, the vehicle’s balance and stability improved through even weight distribution between front and rear – with full or empty spray tank, open or closed spray boom – a feature particularly useful in adverse weather conditions.”
