Gate Handle Accessories: Secure Connections at the Pasture Gate

Gate Handle Accessories: For Secure and Conductive Gates

A pasture gate is a frequently used point in the electric fence and therefore a classic weak spot when it comes to continuous current flow. With the right gate handle accessories, you can reliably close this gap. From special gate handle insulators and clever connectors to stainless steel connection plates – these small helpers ensure that the voltage remains consistently high at the passageway. Well-mounted gate handles are easy to hook and unhook in everyday life without causing tension loss, arcing, or material wear. This keeps your animals safely fenced in and makes daily access to the pasture much more comfortable.

Easy Connection with Litzclips

Knotting tapes or polywires to the gate handle is tedious and hinders the flow of electricity. With practical gate handle connectors like the Litzclip, pasture tapes can be connected to the gate handle insulator completely without tools. The conductive material is simply threaded through and clamped tight. This ensures perfect contact and prevents the tapes from fraying.

Gate Handle Insulators for Every Post

A gate handle insulator forms the secure anchor point for the gate handle. They are available in various designs: for screwing into wooden posts, with a practical insert hook, or as special insulators for T-posts. Integrated connection plates conduct the current from the fence directly into the gate handle as soon as it is hooked in.

Frequently Asked Questions about Gate Handle Accessories

Why shouldn't I knot pasture tapes to the gate handle?
Knots damage the fine wires inside the pasture tapes. This interrupts the flow of electricity and the fence loses tension. Special connectors clamp the tape flat and maintain conductivity.

What is a connection plate used for?
A connection plate made of stainless steel or galvanized metal forms the conductive link between the insulating material, the fence conductor, and the metal hook of the gate handle. It guarantees that the current can flow when the gate is closed.

Are there also lockable gate handles?
Yes, for pastures in areas with a lot of public traffic or on hiking trails, there are gate systems with lockable gate handles. They prevent unauthorized opening of the paddock and increase safety for the herd.
