Small but mighty – Strainrite launches the new Mini Reel for smarter Fencing - FCANZ

When it comes to fencing, efficiency and practicality make all the difference in a farmer’s day.

Recognising the need for a compact, lightweight, and durable solution, Strainrite Fencing Systems has unveiled its latest innovation – the Strainrite Mini Reel. Designed for ease of use without compromising performance, this new addition promises to become an essential tool for break-feeding and portable fencing setups.

Compact design, big capability

Don’t let its size fool you. The Mini Reel holds approximately 250 metres (820 feet) of polywire or 100 metres (328 feet) of polytape, giving farmers plenty of range for temporary or short-run fencing. Its compact form makes it perfect for quick setups, smaller paddocks, and daily break-feeding routines where portability matters most.

The reel’s large centre hub improves winding efficiency. With every turn, users can reel in or release wire with less effort – a detail that becomes invaluable over a long day in the field.

Three functions, one simple pin

At the heart of the Mini Reel’s design is its 3-function locking pin – a clever system giving full control over wire payout and tension. With a quick pull and twist, the reel easily switches between:

Ratcheting Lock – Smooth, easy tensioning without slippage.
Drag Function – Adds resistance to prevent overrun while running out wire.
Free Function – Allows the reel to spin freely for fast winding or unwinding.

This versatility lets users adjust the reel’s behaviour on the go, matching it to terrain, wire types, and fencing tasks. It’s an intelligent design that simplifies the process and saves time.

Built tough for real conditions

Strainrite products are known for durability, and the Mini Reel is no exception. The self-insulating spool is made from tough, impact-resistant materials that withstand rough handling and outdoor exposure. It’s mounted on a reinforced frame built for long-term reliability.

The reel also features an insulated handle with a guard, providing safety and comfort when working around live fences. This thoughtful detail protects the user’s hand and ensures a secure, ergonomic grip, even during long days in the field.

Designed for everyday efficiency

Lightweight yet robust, the Mini Reel strikes a balance between strength and usability. Its ergonomic design ensures comfort during repetitive winding tasks, while the reduced weight makes it ideal for frequent transport and daily use. For smaller break-feeding runs or short-span fences, it’s a perfect solution – combining practicality with the build quality Strainrite is known for.

Farmers and contractors will appreciate how the Mini Reel complements Strainrite’s wider fencing system range, offering a professional-grade tool that enhances workflow without overcomplication. It’s another example of Strainrite’s commitment to designing equipment that meets the real-world demands of rural life.

Innovation you can hold

With the launch of the Mini Reel, Strainrite continues to lead in functional design for modern fencing systems. Compact, clever, and built to last, it embodies the company’s philosophy: tools that make fencing simpler, safer, and more efficient.

Whether you’re setting up a quick break-feed, managing stock rotations, or building temporary fencing lines, the Strainrite Mini Reel offers the performance you need – in a size that fits perfectly in your hand.
