Moasure at SALTEX 2022: Moasure^®, the brand behind the world’s first motion-based measuring tool will perform live demonstrations of its revolutionary device that’s transforming the UK’s landscaping industry at this year’s SALTEX tradeshow.

Changing the way professionals measure complex spaces, Moasure ONE is rapidly becoming the tool-of-choice with its ability to rapidly calculate area and measure changes in elevation.

With over 7,000 industry professionals expected to attend, SALTEX will host over 400 exhibitors with the latest innovative products demonstrated to attendees from a variety of industries including landscaping, sports, lawn care, playground design and equipment.

Utilising accelerometers, gyroscopes and advanced, proprietary algorithms, Moasure ONE measures its own movement without relying on cell phone signal or GPS. Using Bluetooth technology, measurements taken with the device are drawn in real-time through Moasure’s companion smartphone app that allows contractors to view a comprehensive 3D diagram of a job site.

Aiming at the needs of time-poor professionals, Moasure ONE replaces traditional, error-prone measuring tools, allowing experts in the landscaping, sports, lawn care, playground design industries to quickly and accurately estimate jobs.

Completed measurements can then be transferred from the Moasure companion smartphone app into design software without any additional costs.

Now in its eighth decade, SALTEX is Europe’s largest free-admission sports turf, amenities, and landscaping tradeshow and will take place on 2nd – 3rd November at Birmingham’s NEC.

Industry professionals are invited to visit Moasure at SALTEX, where the team will perform live demonstrations throughout the show at Stand F100.

SALTEX is one of over a dozen 2022 international events that have seen Moasure demonstrate its measuring tool to thousands of professionals across a host of industries.

Earlier this month, Moasure ONE won two prestigious accolades including the 2022 ‘Best in Show’ award at LANDSCAPE – and the 2022 Innovation Award at GaLaBau, one of Europe’s biggest international trade shows dedicated to the landscape design and construction industries.

Ex-demo Toro mower for Shotts GC

October 4, 2022/in News, Press Release/by Olivia Dixon

Ex-demo Toro mower for Shotts GC: Machines are in high demand and Shotts Golf Club has bagged itself a rare gem – an ex-demo hybrid mower from Toro dealer Reesink Scotland.

Located half-way between Edinburgh and Glasgow, Shotts Golf Club was in the market for a hybrid mower with longevity. Course manager Andrew Kirk, who has been managing operations for a little over two years, explains: “This is not the first time the club has had an electric or hybrid mower, but it is the first time we’ve had a Toro one. Reliability was an issue with our old electric machine, which didn’t last very long compared to the price we had paid – – not even five years, so this time I went for Toro whose reputation for longevity and reliability is widely known.”

In terms of going with an ex-demo machine, Andrew says: “Being more sustainable also means reutilising as much as possible and skipping a brand-new machine for one that had had some light usage is something that fits with our overall ethos and approach to sustainability. The fact that it was available immediately and delivered very quickly was a major plus.”

When it launched in 2019, Toro’s Greensmaster eTriFlex 3360 hybrid greensmower was the perfect example of hybrid technology in a riding greensmower. The combination of a Kawasaki engine with battery assist technology offered the best of both worlds. Saving up to 20 percent in fuel and a constant 2,400 rpm with shrouded engine for amazingly quiet operation, but with a known diesel engine, it was a reliable, more sustainable energy source.

Andrew continues: “Being hybrid limits the hydraulic bursts on the greens and not having to deal with that was a big thing for me. The team much prefers this model to the previous one. They like the ease of setting it up, including the height setting, and the way it’s so straight-forward, it’s a surprisingly simple machine to use when you consider the technology involved. That saves us so much time and energy that we can spend elsewhere.”

The club has made many eco-friendly changes including roughs management that allows certain areas to remain uncut to provide habitats for different forms of wildlife. The next step for Andrew and the team is to look at water management options for rainwater capture, coupled with filtration and aeration, but for now, being able to tend to the greens with a lot more peace of mind is already a much-welcomed improvement.

Andrew concludes: “We are certainly looking into replacing more machines in the future with hybrid and electric alternatives but for now, this one is doing very well and we’re very happy with the purchase.”

Gareth Rogers, area sales specialist at Reesink Scotland, who facilitated the transaction, adds: “It was a pleasure providing Andrew with a reliable solution, which has helped make his job a little bit easier and makes this job worthwhile. Ex-demo machines through Reesink are stripped down and any warn down parts are replaced with new ones. We make sure the machines are restored so that they are as close to new condition as possible before they are sold.”
