Agrifence Standard Plus Gate Handle Pink – Safe, Simple Electric Fence Access for Livestock

Agrifence Standard Plus Gate Handle – Pink

Pink is the easiest of the four Standard Plus colours to find in bad light, which is the argument for it on a gateway that gets used at six in the morning in February. The fitting itself is Agrifence's insulated handle connection for access through electric fences, with an internal extension spring to keep tension on the line.

Everything about a gate handle comes down to two things: that the insulation between your hand and the fence is sound, and that the spring keeps the conductor off the ground when the gate is shut. The Standard Plus covers both at a price that lets you fit one to every access point instead of carrying a single handle round the farm.

Performance & Benefits

• Insulated handle connection for access through a live electric fence.
• Internal extension spring holds the gate line taut when closed.
• Pink body, the most visible of the four colours in poor light.
• Keeps the conductor clear of the grass, so the gate does not short the fence.
• Identical fitting to the black, purple and blue handles.
• Inexpensive enough to fit at every gateway on the holding.

Suitable For

• Gateways used before dawn or after dark.
• Horse, pony and livestock access points.
• Strip grazing and rotational systems with moving gateways.
• Colour-coded yards where each gate is marked by its handle.
• Not a heavy-duty fitting for a wide or constantly worked gate — Agrifence's Super Gate Handle covers that.

How to Use

• Fit the anchor to one post and hook the handle across from the other.
• Hold the insulated body when hooking on and unhooking.
• Let the spring take up gradually rather than snatching the handle on.
• Stand to the side as the line recoils once the handle is off.
• Switch the energiser off before any work on the gateway.

Care & Caution

• Grip the insulated body only; the hook and the conductor are live.
• The spring is under load when the gate is made up — release it under control.
• Isolate the energiser before fitting, moving or repairing the gateway.
• Stop using the handle if the plastic cracks or the insulation perishes.
• Show anyone else using the gate how to hold and release it safely.
