At Tornado Industries, custom fabrication isn’t just a service, it’s a craft.
Recently, Burt completed a specialised custom gate for long-standing customer Tim Coop, a sheep and beef farmer from Port Levy, Banks Peninsula.
This triangle-shaped cattle yard gate was designed to integrate into a race system, creating a 3-way drafting solution for efficient livestock management.
Built using 32NB pipe (43mm OD) and reinforced with 50 x 4 flat for plywood attachment, every component was cut precisely to the client’s specifications.
