What is troughMOBILE®?

High quality mobile feed trough

Based in Hawera in the beautiful Taranaki region we began manufacturing solutions for New Zealand businesses and farmers in 1993 under the name Normanby Fibreglass.

Originally focused on the manufacture of fibreglass products such as high quality storage tanks, water and stock feeding troughs and specialised industrial products we quickly recognised there was a demand amongst New Zealand farmers for a robust, high quality mobile feed trough.

In response to that demand, troughMOBILE® was born in 1996. Recognising the specific demands of farming in New Zealand we developed a unique jockey wheel mounted tow arm. This innovation enables our troughs to be towed behind most leading quad bikes even when fully loaded or being towed in succession. From the development of our first trough we have now expanded to offer a range of over 12 products to suit every type of farming situation and environment, from dairy to beef, sheep to alpacas.

The Normanby Fibreglass trough impressed us with its rugged construction and no nonsense design. We were so impressed with the first one that we purchased another for our second farm.

The trough is easy to tow by our 4 wheeler, the Gator or our Utes. Two trailers with 500kg’s of PKM in each trailer can easily be pulled, one behind the other by a four wheel motor-bike.

We have found the portable trough we purchased from Normanby Fibreglass to be easily transportable, strong and durable, with no wastage of the Palm Kernel.

Normanby troughs are excellent as I have moved one ton (500 kgs per trailer) of palm kernel a day for six months the last two seasons, they have not let me down once!
