Quadcrate is heading to Tullamore for one of the biggest dates in the Irish agricultural calendar. Quadcrate at Innovation Arena 2026 gives farmers, contractors, landowners and rural businesses the opportunity to see practical ATV equipment up close, discuss real farm challenges and discover a more efficient way to use the quad they already rely on.

You can examine the build quality, talk through compatibility and consider which setup best suits the day-to-day work on your farm.

Why the Innovation Arena Matters to Farmers
Agricultural innovation is most useful when it solves an everyday problem. On a working farm, that might mean reducing the number of journeys needed to complete a fencing repair, keeping essential tools within reach or transporting equipment over ground that is difficult to access with a larger vehicle.
Innovation Arena 2026 brings those practical conversations into one place. Farmers can speak directly with manufacturers and dealers, compare different approaches and ask detailed questions before investing. It is an environment where new ideas are judged not only by how they look, but by whether they can save labour, improve safety or make a task easier to manage.
That is why Quadcrate at Innovation Arena 2026 is such a natural fit. The Quadcrate range is designed around the versatility of ATVs and UTVs. Rather than replacing a useful farm vehicle, these attachments help it take on more jobs through better carrying capacity, organisation and task-specific equipment.
What to See from Quadcrate at Innovation Arena 2026
Visitors to Leslie Plant Sales at Stand 352 can explore how Quadcrate products turn an ATV into a more capable working platform. The range includes individual attachments and complete packages for fencing, lambing, dog handling, transport and all-weather quad use.
The best starting point is the recurring job that causes the most inconvenience on your farm. Think about what usually sends you back to the yard, which loads are awkward to carry and where an extra pair of hands would make the biggest difference. The Quadcrate team can then help identify the most relevant product or package.
Front and Back Postholders
The Front Postholder and Back Postholder are among Quadcrate’s most popular practical attachments. They fit onto the ATV’s front and rear racks, providing open carrying platforms for items such as fence posts, buckets, meal bags, rolls of wire and other farm supplies.
The front version is sized for the smaller front rack, while the rear version provides additional carrying space. When properly loaded and secured within the vehicle manufacturer’s limits, the postholders can make better use of the quad without the drag and reduced manoeuvrability associated with towing a trailer over difficult ground.
The postholders pictured in the event image demonstrate the simple principle behind the range: give frequently used materials a stable, accessible place on the vehicle. That can reduce improvised loading and help operators arrive at the job with more of what they need.
Fencing Equipment for Faster Fieldwork
Fencing can become time-consuming when posts, wire and tools are spread between the field, shed and yard. The Quadcrate Fencing Package combines the Quadcrate, Wire Unroller, Wire Tensioner, Front Postholder, Back Postholder and Front Toolbox.
Each component addresses a different part of the task. The postholders carry materials, the toolbox keeps smaller equipment together, and the wire attachments support unrolling and tensioning. Quadcrate states that its Wire Unroller can dispense 50 metres of sheep wire in under 15 seconds and a 100-metre roll in around 30 seconds. The practical benefit is a more organised workflow that can help one operator cover ground efficiently.
Farmers interested in maintaining their own boundaries can use Quadcrate at Innovation Arena 2026 to inspect these attachments and discuss how the package works on steep, wet or less accessible terrain.
Lambing and Livestock Packages
During lambing, time and preparation matter. The Lambing Package is designed to keep essential equipment with the quad while providing options for transporting a ewe and newborn lambs. Its removable Lamb Box Kit creates a dedicated compartment, while the transport cage offers a purpose-built option for moving suitable livestock around the farm.
For farmers who want one broader setup, the Combo Package brings together lambing and fencing equipment. It includes the core Quadcrate, transport cage, front and back postholders, Lamb Box Kit, Front Toolbox, Wire Unroller and Wire Tensioner. This makes it particularly relevant to mixed and livestock farms where the same ATV moves between seasonal jobs.
Working Dog and UTV Solutions
Working dogs are a vital part of many sheep and livestock enterprises. The Dog Handling Package is intended to create a more structured transport and handling setup, helping farmers keep dogs secure while moving between tasks.
Larger holdings and rural businesses can also explore the UTV Package. It applies the same focus on organisation and carrying capability to a utility vehicle with greater capacity. Discussing your vehicle model, farm terrain and normal workload at the stand will help determine whether an ATV or UTV configuration is the better fit.
Bubble Cab Weather Protection
Wet and windy weather can make long periods on a quad uncomfortable and tiring. The Standard Bubble Cab and Big Bubble Cab add operator weather protection for farms that depend on their quads throughout the year.
A suitable Bubble Cab can help shield the rider from wind and rain while maintaining visibility. It should always be used alongside appropriate protective clothing, correct ATV training and the manufacturer’s operating guidance. At the show, visitors can compare cab sizes, ask about vehicle compatibility and decide which configuration is most appropriate for their work.

Why Farmers Choose Quadcrate Attachments
The strongest farm equipment tends to be straightforward, robust and useful across more than one job. Quadcrate products are built around those priorities, helping farmers carry materials and equipment using a vehicle already central to their daily routine.
Potential benefits include:
- Fewer repeat journeys: Carrying tools and materials together can reduce unnecessary trips back to the yard.
- Better organisation: Dedicated positions for equipment make it easier to prepare for recurring tasks.
- Improved versatility: One quad can be configured for fencing, livestock work, dog handling or general transport.
- Access to difficult areas: An ATV can often reach wet, steep or narrow ground that is unsuitable for larger machinery or a trailer.
- Reduced manual handling: Purpose-built carrying solutions can limit awkward lifting and balancing, provided every load is secured correctly.
- Seasonal flexibility: Attachments can be selected or changed as the farm moves from lambing to fencing, maintenance and winter work.
These advantages depend on correct fitting and responsible use. Loads must remain within the ATV manufacturer’s limits and should be balanced so they do not interfere with steering, braking, visibility or stability.
Plan Your Visit to Stand 352
The National Ploughing Championships cover a large outdoor site and attract significant traffic, so preparation will help you make the most of the day. Allow additional journey time, follow the official colour-coded traffic plan and note the route or car park allocated to your direction of travel.
Once inside, head to Block 4, Row 17, Stand 352 and look for Leslie Plant Sales. To get useful advice, bring the make and model of your ATV or UTV and, if possible, photographs of its front and rear racks. It is also worth listing the two or three jobs you most want to improve.
Questions to ask at the stand include:
- Which attachments are compatible with my current vehicle?
- What is included in each package?
- How quickly can equipment be attached or removed?
- What load limits and weight-distribution guidance apply?
- Which setup best suits fencing, lambing or working dogs?
- Can I use discount code PAC100 or CAB150 for the product I want?
- What delivery and after-sales support are available for Irish customers?
This practical preparation turns Quadcrate at Innovation Arena 2026 from a quick stand visit into a useful equipment review tailored to your farm.
