Spaldings Has Added Honda Pumps And Generators To Its Range

Spaldings Has Added Honda Pumps And Generators To Its Range: Portable generators and water pumps needed for everyday or emergency use can be purchased with the renowned service back-up provided by direct sales specialist Spaldings following the company’s appointment as a Honda Industrial dealer with national reach.

Spaldings will display selected products from the range upon its return to the Saltex exhibition at the NEC Birmingham on 1-2 November.

As with other products handled by Spaldings, Honda petrol engine powered pumps and generators can be purchased online, via a telesales team or through a local representative for next day delivery from the £11 million-worth of stock held at the company’s warehouse in Lincoln.

“We have 60 years’ experience of efficiently picking, packing and dispatching, so we’re well practiced at it,” says Stephen Constable, commercial director. “But in addition to the convenience of ordering online, buyers can consult our nationwide team of 50 agricultural and 14 groundscare representatives for advice, and for expert hand-over of equipment and fault-finding if needed.”

Securing the Honda Industrial dealership underscores the confidence that premium brand manufacturers such as Honda, Husqvarna and Stihl have in Spaldings sales, distribution and after-sales service.

“One thing that attracted us is their pro-active approach, which gets the sales team on to farms, local authorities and others to make them aware of the products available,” says Steve Jeffcock of Honda Industrial. “They also have a good after-sales reputation and it’s very positive that they’re willing to service or repair products, regardless of whether they’ve supplied them.”

Spaldings now stocks a number of core models from the Honda Industrial range, including the EU10i 1.0kW and EU20i 2.0kW portable inverter generators, which are the first sound-proofed models in the Spaldings catalogue.

Weighing just 13kg and 21kg, respectively, these super-quiet models are designed for home, boating, camping and other low-power demand uses, including hand tools and lighting.

Professional generators include the 3.6kW EC3600 from the Endurance range of up to 6.5kW models, and the 2.3kW EM2300 from the Endurance High-Tech line, which features an intelligent automatic voltage regulator to maintain output at a set value regardless of varying load and operating temperature.

Among the pumps available, the light-weight WX10 25mm (1in) clean water transfer and irrigation pump can be used at virtually any angle thanks to a purpose-designed lubrication system.

This 120-litre/min pump is the smallest of four high-pressure models delivering up to 450-litre/min and suited to a number of general-purpose applications. The two ‘WH’ models feature an extra-durable cast iron impeller assembly.

Spaldings also stocks the Honda WB20 from a six-model range equipped to handle trashy water and chemicals, as well as clean water.

The WB20 is a 50mm (2in) pump capable of delivering up to 620-litre/min and operating with a total head of 32m. Like all models in this professional range, the WB20 is housed within a robust steel frame for easy handling, as well as for stability and impact protection on-site and during transit.

“These are ideal pumps for filling crop sprayers, handling liquid fertilisers and pumping dirty water,” notes Stephen Constable. “They all come with a strainer, hose bands and couplers, and our extensive after-care service – local owners can call in with items needing attention or we can arrange to collect them nationwide, whether or not they were bought from us in the first place.”

Gareth Bale Transforms Garden Into Incredible Golf Course

Gareth Bale Transforms Garden Into Incredible Golf Course: A stunning aerial image of Gareth Bale’s transformed back garden has emerged after the Wales star had a replica of the iconic 17th hole at Sawgrass, Florida, built at his south Wales home.

Reports emerged two years ago the Wales and Real Madrid superstar was about to embark on a grand golf project in the grounds of his Vale of Glamorgan house.

A stunning aerial image of Gareth Bale’s transformed back garden has emerged after the Wales star had a replica of the iconic 17th hole at Sawgrass, Florida, built at his south Wales home.

To help drop his impressive single handicap even further, Bale, the former most expensive footballer on the planet, was believed to have sounded out top notch groundsmen in the South Wales area to become a full-time greenkeeper.

The new image shows what the first finished hole looks like, with Bale making himself the envy of golf fans around the world.

Bale’s love of golf came to the fore in the summer of 2015 when he helped Wales lift the Celebrity Cup for the very first time amid intense competition from England, Ireland and Scotland at the Celtic Manor.

And the soccer superstar is often a regular visitor to the Newport resort playing their blue riband Twenty Ten Course that staged the Ryder Cup seven years ago.

“I try to play as much golf as possible,” said Bale when news broke of his grand plans for a course at home two years ago.

“In fact, I’m obsessed with it. I’ve not really thought about what I’ll be doing in 20 years when I’m retired from football, but, hopefully, I will be playing golf.”

SISIS Return To FSB

SISIS return to FSB: SISIS have announced that they will be exhibiting at FSB Cologne, Germany from 7-10 November 2017 in Hall 10.2 stand B035.

Visitors to the show, which is held every two years, will be able to view a selection of the range of synthetic turf maintenance equipment available from the British manufacturer including the Osca, Brush-Pro, SSS1000 and the TIF complete with Flexicomb and straight brush.

The common misconception is that synthetic surfaces are maintenance free. Just like natural turf surfaces, synthetic surfaces require maintenance as soon as they are constructed if they are to perform to the standard expected of them. Regular and periodic maintenance is required to ensure that the playing surfaces achieve their full life expectancy.

As well as the products being on show, the SISIS team will be on hand to advise on how to prolong the life of synthetic playing surfaces.

SISIS Osca

The SISIS Osca is a tractor mounted powered oscillating brush with a 1.9 meter working width and is equally effective when used on synthetic turf with sand or rubber infill. The two oscillating brushes stand the carpet fibres up and redistributes the infill evenly, minimising compaction on the surface and improving its performance – giving consistent playing characteristics while preventing pile damage caused by reduced infill levels.

A contributory factor to the reduction of compaction is that the Osca’s working width will use fewer passes than other more conventional drag brushes to complete a pitch. Its aggressive brushing action agitates the upper infill level of the surface from side to side as well as brushing forward, helping reduce surface compaction and encourage the fibres to stand up straight which reduces the risk of contamination, drainage problems and leaves a consistent playing surface across the whole pitch.

SISIS Brush-Pro

The SISIS Brush-Pro is a ride-on brushing system comprising a pair of mid mounted oscillating units and three rear mounted brush units that that have been specifically designed for maintaining synthetic surfaces. The machine has been designed for maximum manoeuvrability and operator comfort which features an electric start, hydrostatic drive for forward/reverse and its brush combinations – oscillating for thorough periodic work and rear mounted brushes for more routine work.

SISIS SSS1000

The SISIS SSS1000 is a tractor mounted sweeper which can be pulled by any machine. There are no tools required for the adjustment of the brush or the angle of the draw bar and to make storage easy the draw bar lifts to an upright position. With an aluminium hopper with stainless steel mesh, any infill that is collected when using the machine is returned back down to the surface leaving it free from contamination of debris.

SISIS TIF with Flexicomb and straight brush

The Towed Implement Frame (TIF) is a towed brush combination system which is ideal for regular maintenance of synthetic surfaces. The Flexicomb and straight finishing brush combination is recommended for both sand and rubber infill surfaces. The Flexicomb ensures even distribution of infill and lifts the carpet pile while the straight brush produces a smooth level and eye-catching presentation. For rubber crumb surfaces a more aggressive brushing is required and this can be achieved by adjusting the crossbar on the Flexicomb to stiffen the bristles.
