Next Generation in Pop-up Irrigation Systems

November 11, 2016/in Press Release, Technical/by Admin

The next generation of pop-up irrigation has arrived with the launch of SIS Hydrobox.

SIS Pitches launch their latest development in irrigation technology the SIS Hydrobox at Saltex on November 2^nd.

SIS Hydrobox, designed for groundsmen by groundsmen, is the simple way to manage pop-up irrigation systems and has been designed for quick and easy installation in both natural turf and SISGrass reinforced systems.

Unlike with traditional pop-up sprinklers, the SIS Hydrobox allows you to easily access the sprinkler head and pipework, and can be installed and removed without disturbing the surrounding area, thusensuring consistent performance across the field.

Luke Edwards, Sports Systems Development manager at SIS Pitches, commented; “We are very excited about the opportunities for SIS Hydrobox and delighted to launch it at Saltex.

“Innovation is at the heart of everything we do at SIS Pitches and SIS Hydrobox is part of our ongoing programme for improvement and simplicity within the industry.

“SISGrass, our hybrid pitch system, has already won a number of awards and we are expecting the same for SIS Hydrobox.

“SIS Pitches is founded on the principles of being designed for groundsmen by groundsmen and with SIS Hydrobox we have managed to solve an age old problem for groundsmen and women across the world.

“It is set to revolutionise pop-up irrigation systems for all natural turf and hybrid surfaces.”

SIS Pitches has many years of experience in delivering natural turf pitches and synthetic turf pitches to some of the greatest names in sport as well as to schools, colleges, universities, sports clubs and local authorities. SIS Pitches has offices in the UK, Ireland, Russia, Turkey, Holland, Middle East and Angola.

SIS Pitches are offering a 15% discount on SIS Hydrobox to anyone ordering at Saltex this week.

Ransomes Reveals New Cushman Hauler Range

November 11, 2016/in Machinery, Press Release/by Admin

Ipswich, Suffolk (November 02, 2016) Ransomes, the Ipswich-based manufacturer of turf maintenance equipment, is the European distributor for the range of Cushman Utility vehicles. The new line of Cushman Hauler utility vehicles which includes the Hauler 1200, Hauler 1200 X, Hauler PRO and Hauler PRO-X, will be showcased at SALTEX 2016.

The all-new utility vehicles offer a truck-inspired design, practical dash, large bed and affordable accessories, ensuring there is a product offering to suit all applications. The Hauler PRO and Hauler PRO-X models feature a powerful 72-volt AC electric drive that can go 50 miles on a single charge.

This drive system delivers full-time regenerative braking, redirecting energy back into the vehicle’s batteries whenever the brakes are applied, recharging the batteries during use and further extending the vehicle’s energy efficiency and range.

All Hauler models are available with a 340-litre (12 cubic feet) durable roto-molded polyethylene bed. The standard poly bed includes integrated divider slots to allow for increased organisation with tie-down points and D-rings. Genuine Cushman bed accessories are also available, e.g. storage attachments for carrying long-handled tools and storage nets.

Functionality extends beyond the bed in the new Hauler design. New features include:

A standard rear hitch receiver to help crews tow whatever the day demands
Limited slip differential, standard on most models for ensured traction
Upgraded premium turf tyres that provide grip without damaging turf
Optional power dump for heavy lifting
A unique storage pocket and net within the poly bed to store equipment
Standard 12-volt outlet for charging radios, tablets and smartphones

The new line up of Hauler utility vehicles includes a highly functional dash that provides a clean, unobstructed line of sight for anyone behind the wheel. The new dash centralises the control panel that houses everything from the directional key switch and standard horn to the state-of-charge meter or fuel gauge and optional bed-lift switch.

Richard Tyrrell, Product Manager at Ransomes, said:

“The new Cushman Hauler range is the result of a lot of research into the requirements of greenkeeping and grounds care professionals. The functionality and design of the vehicles has been well thought out and the feedback we have received so far has been overwhelmingly positive.”

Functionality of any new Hauler utility vehicle can be enhanced with customised extras. Additional affordable and versatile accessories include:

Bed Dividers
Brush guard
Canopy Storage Net
Cargo Mesh Net
Colour Options
Flexible Tool Clamps
Ladder/Hoop Rack
Long-Handled Tool Holder
Rear-view Mirror
ROPS-Certified Cab
ROPS-Certified Ball Cage
Weather Enclosure
