Martin Lishman’s new Shrouded Boom for Nano-Spray

/in , /by

Martin Lishman’s new Shrouded Boom for Nano-Spray: Responding to a clear market need for a breakthrough solution in small-scale spraying, leading compact sprayer manufacturer Martin Lishman introduced the Nano-Spray: an ultra-compact, 36-litre, fully electric self-propelled sprayer designed to deliver a high-precision spray application without impacting fine turf.

Since its launch in November 2023, the Nano-Spray quickly gained popularity among sports turf professionals and small contract businesses.

Continuing Martin Lishman’s commitment to customer feedback and product development, the company is now proud to introduce a new shrouded boom option for the Nano-Spray.

In an industry where precision is paramount, concentrating the applied liquid to a specific area and eliminating spray drift are crucial benefits. The shrouded boom not only ensures accurate application but also allows for spraying near sensitive boundaries and in challenging weather conditions, whilst also minimising the risk of exposure to the operator or bystander.

“When a customer approached us with the idea of adding a shrouded boom to the Nano-Spray, we didn’t hesitate to begin the project,” explains Joel Capper, Managing Director of Martin Lishman Ltd. “Instead of just attaching long buckets to the existing boom, our engineering team were able to seamlessly integrate an entirely new lightweight folding boom into the Nano’s frame. True to our modular design philosophy, this ensures that future upgrades will be straightforward and efficient.”

Designed for use in smaller amenity areas and as an invaluable tool for contractors, the Nano-Spray’s new shrouded boom features a unique folding design with quick-release indexing pins. This innovative design allows the boom to fold compactly, making it small enough to fit in small vehicles and through most gateways and passageways.

Despite its small size, it is fully equipped with an array of features typically reserved for larger, professional-grade sprayers. These include a two-section valve block with agitate, independent shut-off nozzle bodies, stainless steel hardware, lithium battery pack and fingertip spray on/off control.

Joel Capper concluded, “At Martin Lishman, we are dedicated to continuous product development and listening to our customers’ needs. The new shrouded boom for the Nano-Spray is a prime example of this commitment. We are excited to see the positive impact this enhancement will have on our customers’ operations.”
