Liberty Carrera Secure M+ Hard Top Nail - 250pcs

The new Liberty HardTop Technology is a perfect example of an innovative solution to nails wearing off too quickly on harder or sandy surfaces.

This Liberty HardTop Technology is the process in nail production where the nail head is hardened locally allowing the nail to wear more evenly with the horseshoe. It prevents the nail from wearing down too quickly like traditional nails used on harder and sandy surfaces. Liberty HardTop Technology guarantees horses and farriers durable solid shoeing for the entire shoeing period.

Benefits of nails with Hardtop Technology:

• durable shoeing – reduces the chance of loose/lost shoes
• prolonged wear of the horseshoe
• optimal tensile strength
• even nail surface ( = no additional pressure points)
• original steel hardness of the nail
• more grip
• reduced wear of the nail in the crease on sandy surfaces

The Process:

Liberty has introduced an additional application in the nail production process where only the nail head is subjected to hardening without compromising the general nail strength. By adding very localised carbon using the new and sophisticated laser technology, Liberty can harden the nail head. Through consistent heat treatment and a hardening depth set to an accuracy of 0.15 mm, HardTop Technology guarantees optimal nail strength and quality throughout the nail with an unrivalled traditional, wear-hardened nail head.

HardTop Technology has been patented worldwide. This technology has been optimised after years of research, experimentation, and fine-tuning. Liberty by Royal Kerckhaert is now the world's first nail manufacturer that has successfully applied a HardTop nail head to traditional nails. By hardening the traditional nail head, Liberty has created a nail with more wear control without compromising the integrity of the product.
