ProE-Glide gives easy ride for accurate fertiliser application

The innovative ProE-Glide from Techneat Engineering provides an entirely new concept of stand-on precision fertiliser and granular application spreader, to improve productivity and accuracy for turf managers and professionals.

ProE-Glide gives easy ride for accurate fertiliser application

Set to be launched at GroundsFest 2026 (16-17 September), the whisper quiet, zero-emissions battery powered spreader provides a stand-on platform for operators that achieves exceptional work rates, while maintaining total control of the application and spreading rate.

The ProE-Glide has been shortlisted for the GroundsFest Innovation Awards 2026, for Turf maintenance equipment.

Designed for sports turf, amenity grassland and landscape applications, the ProE-Glide delivers a highly efficient and user-friendly solution for grounds professionals.

Adjustable calibration settings allow operators to accurately apply different granular products, including fertiliser, grass seed or de-icer salt. The fully adjustable spread width and spread bias help maintain even coverage, even in challenging conditions such as crosswinds.

Launching the ProE-Glide at GroundsFest 2026, where turf and lawncare managers have the chance to try out the innovative machine, Techneat amenity specialist, Richard Wheatcroft, says: “With infinitely adjustable application settings, a high-capacity hopper and an ergonomic stand-on design, the Pro E-Glide delivers accurate, consistent spreading, while hugely improving operator comfort and productivity.”

In user-trials the ProE-Glide has proven capable of spreading fertiliser across 5,000m² (half-hectare) in less than 30 minutes. “The combination of speed, efficiency and accuracy has significantly increased our productivity,” reports The Lawnologist grounds care specialist, Mark Walsh. “The level of control is excellent.”

It has handled work on large domestic lawns, on private estates to sports pitches, allowing the team to complete work faster and dramatically reduce operator fatigue, without compromising on application quality, he adds.

“It’s a very well thought out product that’s intuitive to operate for professional grounds maintenance, and genuinely a pleasure to use.”

Features of the Pro E-Glide include an 80-litre hopper with a stainless-steel body. The future-proof design of the ProE-Glide will also enable operators to fit a purpose-built demountable precision sprayer unit in place of the spreader hopper, to further increase the machine’s flexibility and value as a turf management tool.

Its powerful electric motor and battery power pack is matched to provide high output through the working day and cover large areas, without noise or disruption to players or customers. An integrated bout marker keeps applications on track. The machine can be easily moved between sites in a trailer or van.

STIHL to showcase the future of professional battery power at GroundsFest

STIHL is set to mark its 100th anniversary at GroundsFest 2026 with the showcase of its new ALLPRObattery system, demonstrating how the next generation of professional battery technology is helping grounds maintenance and landscaping teams maximise productivity, minimise downtime and work more efficiently throughout the day.

STIHL to showcase the future of professional battery power at GroundsFest

Taking place at Stoneleigh Park on 9th – 10th September 2026, GroundsFest brings together professionals from across the grounds care, landscaping and amenities sectors. Visitors to the STIHL stand will have the opportunity to explore the company’s latest battery innovations and discover how its growing professional battery ecosystem is designed to support demanding commercial applications.

STIHL ALLPRO battery system for professional grounds maintenance

At the heart of STIHL’s stand will be the ALLPRO battery system, a new generation of high-performance batteries engineered to deliver increased power output, longer running times and significantly longer service life, while maintaining the durability expected from STIHL professional products.

Designed for professional users, the ALLPRO system enables grounds maintenance and landscaping teams to spend more time working and less time managing battery changes and charging schedules.

STIHL ultra-fast charging to minimise downtime

Visitors will also be able to see the new AL 1802 MO charger, designed to keep professional teams moving throughout the working day.

When paired with the ALLPRO battery system, batteries can be charged to 80 per cent capacity in just nine minutes, helping operators to minimise downtime and maximise productivity on site.

STIHL portable power wherever the job takes you

Alongside the new charger, STIHL will also showcase the PS 2000 Portable Power Supply, providing a flexible source of power for professionals working across multiple sites.

Together, the ALLPRO batteries, AL 1802 MO and PS 2000 form a complete professional battery ecosystem designed to support contractors, local authorities, estates teams and grounds maintenance professionals.

STIHL celebrating 100 years of innovation

STIHL’s appearance at GroundsFest comes during a landmark year, as the company celebrates its 100th anniversary.

Since 1926, STIHL has helped shape the forestry, landscaping and gardening industries through continuous innovation, with the ALLPRO system representing the latest step in its commitment to developing high-performance professional equipment.

The STIHL team will be on Stand OSA 30 throughout the exhibition, providing product demonstrations, expert advice and guidance on its latest professional battery technologies.
