Lundell Plastics Introduces QuickHinge

02-25-09

HARLAN, IA - Most farmers know that dealing with the lids on planter boxes can be a cumbersome and time-consuming affair. Implement dealer Roger Sorensen was hearing the complaints of farmers so frequently that he decided to enlist some outside help to find a solution. In response, Lundell Plastics created the QuickHinge, a new design for box planters which employs a simple solution to solve a frustrating problem.

Planter box lids are traditionally removed for filling the boxes, and sometimes removed undesirably by wind gusts on the field. The new QuickHinge installs to allow farmers to fill their planter boxes more quickly and easily- they simply flip the lid open, fill the box, and then snap the lid back into place. QuickHinge also prevents lids from being blown off during transport.

Lundell Plastics designed the QuickHinge to last farmers through many seasons of tough use. It features all-steel construction and is protected by a durable powder-coat finish. The company says the device will install simply in minutes. Vance Lundell, founder and owner of the company, said, "We're always trying to innovate new ways to make work smarter and easier. The QuickHinge is a great solution to save farmers time and money."

Lundell Plastics is perhaps best known for pioneering in the auger market, replacing traditional steel flighting with hi-tech plastic flighting that is very durable and handles seed more gently. From their headquarters in Odebolt, Iowa they manufacture and ship products internationally.
