Norden Mfg Adds New Bale Squeeze to Product Line Up

Norden Mfg Expands Bale Handling Line with THE New SQ102W Bale Squeeze

NORTH BLOOMFIELD, OH – June 23, 2026 – For more than twenty years, Norden Mfg has been providing quality hay handling equipment designed to help growers work more efficiently. Building on that commitment, Norden Mfg is expanding its bale handling lineup with the introduction of the new SQ102W Bale Squeeze.

For hay producers looking to speed up the unloading and reloading steps of thier operation, the Norden Bale Squeeze offers a simple and efficient solution. Designed to move large blocks of tied small square bales, the Bale Squeeze allows operators to load trailers, stack barns, and handle stored hay with fewer trips and less manual labor.

Working in conjunction with the Norden Mfg Tie-Grabber, the Bale Squeeze clamps the bottom layer of tied bale packs so entire stacks can be moved at once. With a maximum lifting capacity of 4,000 pounds, it can handle up to 80 fifty-pound bales in a single move, dramatically increasing productivity during the busiest times of the season.

The Bale Squeeze is available in four models to match different accumulator systems:

• SQ72 – Compatible with E10 and F8 bale packs.
• SQ90 – Designed for F10 bale packs.
• SQ102 – Works with E15, E18, F12, and F15 bale packs.
• SQ102W – Designed for F15 and E18 bale packs requiring additional clearance.

Designed in conjunction with Clerf, each model is engineered to maximize lifting capacity while maintaining the durability required for daily farm use. Attachment options are available for skid steers, telehandlers, and forklifts, making it easy to integrate the Bale Squeeze into existing operations.

SQ102W: More Space When Moving Bale Stacks

Need more space while moving your 15-flat or 18-on-edge bale groups? The NEW SQ102W is the solution.

Featuring 14 additional inches of working width between the squeeze arms, the SQ102W provides extra clearance to easily reach around bale groups while still applying the proper clamping pressure needed to safely lift and transport the stack.

It is that simple: more space with the same proven, capable design.
