ATT showcase abundance of new features

ATT showcase abundance of new features: ATT will be returning to SALTEX for 2022, showcasing their popular INFINICUT® and TMSystem™ ranges on stand H070. As the only professional sports turf mower that has been specifically designed with electric power and not a re-purposed petrol variant, it maintains best in class for both efficiency and quality of cut.

The continued recurring increase in global energy costs now makes the INFINICUT® a serious consideration when deliberating the move to electrically powered equipment. On their stand at the NEC, the ATT team will have a handy software programme which can help calculate payback on energy which could help to validate any decisions in making the transfer.

As has come to be expected with the quick-moving design team at ATT, visitors will also be able to see a wealth of new INFINICUT® features, including the extension of the range of battery’s they offer to include a new 105AH Lithium variant – allowing users to specify whatever duty cycle is required, with zero compromise. The full range of batteries available can be swapped between mowers in the INFINICUT® collection, resulting in even greater versatility and optimised fleet management.

Under the hood, ATT have continued to refine the electrical architecture of the INFINICUT® with design emphasis on simplification and fewer contact points. Firmware has also been upgraded, as has their popular InfiniApp which is now available for download direct from the iOS App Store. Through the App, every aspect of the mowing operation can be optimised to ensure the attainment of the perfect cut.

In response to the additional technical variations in the way pitches can now be reinforced, INFINICUT® mowers can now accommodate adjustable/removable weight kits for situations where increased down pressure is required. The weight kits can easily be removed when gravity readings are at optimal levels.

A trailing seat is also now offered on 34” variant mowers – extending the versatility of where and how the mowers operate.

Completing the abundance of new innovations, the recently introduced brush system used on the INFINICUT® SM34 Rotary mower will also be on display. This set-up is the only one that sees the brush sit behind the front roller, ensuring maximum grass agitation prior to cutting or vacuuming.

Redexim return to SALTEX

/in , /by

Redexim return to SALTEX: Redexim are excited to be making their post-pandemic return to SALTEX with a new stand providing the platform to showcase their vast portfolio of equipment critical to successful sports turf maintenance.

As their 40th anniversary celebrations continue, the latest iteration of where it all began – the iconic Verti-Drain® – will feature on stand M075, where visitors will also have the opportunity to enter Redexim’s big birthday competition for a chance of winning a ‘fast and furious’ prize!

The very first Verti-Drain® rolled off the production line in 1980, with Redexim UK gaining the rights to sell the now iconic aerator from their inception in 1982. Such was the success and impression that the Verti-Drain® made on the professional market, the name became an eponym for the operation of opening up the ground, with grounds managers to this day understanding the benefits of ‘Verti-Draining’ on a regular basis. Over the years, models were introduced that opened new doors with contractors and golf courses, and while the concept of the Verti-Drain® has been often imitated, its quality has never been matched.

The latest model, the Redexim Verti-Drain® 2519, has now set the benchmark when it comes to high-speed, high-productivity aerators. Featuring a 1.9m working width and an ability to accept a wide range of tine options, the 2519 can cover almost 9000 sq.m per hour thanks to its PTO speed of up to 540rpm. This efficiency, combined with Redexim reliability, has made it a popular choice with both greenkeepers and grounds managers alike.

As thoughts turn to the autumn and the aeration season ahead, thoughts will also be turning to the spectacle that is the FIFA World Cup, kicking off a fortnight after SALTEX. To mark the world’s largest football celebration, and in conjunction with their 40th anniversary, Redexim will be inviting visitors to predict the outcome of this year’s tournament for their chance to be the lucky winner of an experience to remember.

More details of all the latest additions to the Redexim range, and entry into the World Cup competition, can be found by speaking to the technical team on hand across the two days, at the NEC this November.

Lister Wilder set an ambitious target of £20,000.00 back in May 2022. With the event now finished the final total raised stands at £22,250.00 which was officially donated to LMRUK this last week. (pictured), with Service Director Neil Davis who chose the charity handing over the cheque.

LMRUK invest in specialist research into stem cell therapies as a more effective treatment for blood cancer to help protect the next generation. The charity actively raises awareness of the signs and symptoms of blood cancer and encourages expectant parents to bank their newborn baby’s umbilical cord blood stem cells through its Model Cell Biobank service.

“On behalf of everyone at the Charity I would like to say a huge thank you for the amazing amount that Lister Wilder have raised for us! Thank you to everyone who took part in the event, to those who supported them and those who donated, we can’t thank them enough.”

“We would like to allocate the funds raised for one of our research grants. We fund researchers to advance their understanding of stem cells and how they can use them to treat blood cancer patients, particularly through stem cell transplants. All applications are assessed by the Research Review Committee to ensure that they are relevant to the Charities objectives, blood cancer and its treatment using stem cells. We would be honoured to call the grant, the Lister Wilder Research Grant.” Dr Joanna Tilley, Interim Operations Director “It’s been a real pleasure organising and taking part in this event” said Phill Hughes – Sales Director “We are delighted with the amount of money that we’ve raised for LMRUK, and are grateful to everyone that donated to us, both corporate and individually. To have a grant named after us is a real honour and made all the hard work and time that the team spent training for this even more worth-while.”

Aspen Fuel at SALTEX

/in , /by

Aspen Fuel at SALTEX: Aspen, the original alkylate petrol pioneers, are returning to SALTEX this November with their range of alkylate fuels for two and four-stroke engines and an initiative not to be missed.

Visitors to stand M055 can learn how Aspen enhances engine performance and reduces the negative impact on both the operator and environment with a chance to then trial it for themselves – and get their money back if they change their minds!

Founded in 1988, Aspen has long been improving the operating environment for landscapers, arborists and groundcare professionals. Alkylate petrol is formed from the gasses which are produced when refining oil. The alkylation process involves tuning those excess gases into a liquid alkylate, before combining them with some additional components to create a finished fuel which is significantly purer than traditional petrol. Content of harmful and hazardous hydrocarbons and polyaromatics (PAH) is close to zero with Aspen, reducing Benzene emissions by up to 108 times!

The cleaner burn achieved with Aspen also helps to maintain engine performance, reliability and preserve the life of engine components that can be susceptible to clogging or failure when running on conventional pump fuel; especially if equipment has been left in storage for any significant period of time.

Those wishing to experience the Aspen difference for themselves can now try the fuel, risk-free, with a new money back guarantee launching at SALTEX 2022. Subject to a bulk purchase, operators can use Aspen in their own working environments with the confidence that, if they don’t notice the significant improvements to sustainable working practices, they can return the unused fuel.

“People may think that all petrol is the same, but when people give Aspen a go, they quickly see the benefits it can bring to all aspects of the task at hand” comments Business Development Manager Axel Hildebrand. “The reduction in toxic fumes and the elimination of the ‘blue haze’ is particularly beneficial for those operators using hand tools or working in confined spaces, and we’re confident that as soon as operators give Aspen a try, they won’t look back.”
