Farm profits and cropping margins are under mounting pressure from all sides - global competition, extreme weather events, stricter government emission policies, the transition away from subsidies, and now geopolitical tariff challenges.

In this environment, diversification is no longer optional; it is essential for survival and growth.

The days of a single man with a horse and cart are long gone. Multimodal transport is no longer optional; it is essential for modern, diversified farm operations.

HookLoada is the premium multimodal solution, with Stronga leading the way in “beyond farming” applications that help businesses stay ahead in tough times. The HookLoada trailer is a powerful driver of farm diversification. Its unique flexibility delivers three major wins for our clients:
• Transport efficiency across both farming and wider applications.
• Rock-solid reliability, whatever the task, in whichever sector.
• Low cost of ownership, combining exceptional value with high utility.

Put simply, HookLoada is the hardest working machine on the farm; delivering income, efficiency, and long-term value. With models ranging from 14 to 30 tonnes, HookLoada gives farms the ability to expand into new containerised applications quickly and confidently. As your business grows into new markets, HookLoada grows with you.

There are so many ways HookLoada can help make a difference to your operational efficiency, beyond traditional farm crops and logistics into new diversity applications. Discover a few potential agricultural applications below.

The table below shows a number of farm diversification applications where hook-lift trailers can be used to expand income beyond traditional agriculture. These are services or enterprises that can help farmers stay financially viable in tough times, while using existing machinery and labour, alongside a HookLoada trailer.

Versatility & Cost Savings - A single hook lift chassis can accommodate a variety of containers; grain, slurry, manure, flatbeds, etc.; reducing the need for multiple dedicated trailers and lowering capital and operating costs.
Efficiency & Reduced Labour - Containers can be dropped or picked up independently on-site, streamlining workflows and minimising the use of tractors, labour, fuel, and time; especially beneficial during busy periods like harvest.
Specialised Container Design - Containers can be tailored for specific jobs; such as flatbeds with lashing points for timber, or vented harvest containers for drying grain; enhancing effectiveness across operations.
Smart Features - Modern trailers offer innovations like self-steering axles (improving manoeuvrability in tight spaces), hydraulic drawbars, hydraulic suspensions, remote control operation and more. A few of these features are visualised in the image below.

One of many real-world examples, Stronga recently worked together with a farm in Scotland who now uses their hook-lift trailer for a range of applications – farm and non-farm, including; grain and silage transport during harvest; delivering firewood and woodchip in winter; renting out bins for skip hire locally; and supporting glamping sites with water and toilet containers.

The flexibility of HookLoada has enabled our customer to tap into entirely new income streams while keeping the same trailer at the heart of every operation; demonstrating how a single, well-chosen machine can truly drive farm diversification and resilience. Stronga are here to support our customers, not just when things are going well, but in the moments that are testing too.

In an era of unprecedented challenges, diversification isn’t just a strategy; it’s a necessity.

Stronga HookLoada trailers put farms in control, enabling them to respond to changing markets, extreme weather, and new business opportunities with unmatched flexibility. From traditional crop transport to “beyond farming” applications like glamping support, mobile workshops, or biomass services, a single HookLoada trailer can unlock multiple revenue streams while reducing costs and increasing efficiency.

For modern farms, it’s more than a trailer; it’s a tool for resilience, growth, and long-term profitability. With HookLoada, your farm doesn’t just survive tough times, it thrives in them. Speak to our team today to discuss your diversification dreams: enquiries@stronga.com
