Birkdale’s FENCEMATE® Sleeper Support System

September 5, 2024/in News, Press Release/by Admin

Birkdale’s FENCEMATE® Sleeper Support System: The UK’s leading fencing and gate accessories manufacturer, Birkdale, has recently launched its new range of specialist hardware for sleepers. Designed to provide quick and easy installation alongside lasting performance, the Sleeper Support System includes a range of pins and brackets, enabling trade professionals to safely create planters, raised beds, boarders and steps.

Combining Birkdale’s expertise in galvanised steel products and installer focused product innovation, the new FENCEMATE^®Sleeper Support System is designed to ease installation and provide a long-lasting solution that can be relied upon to hold heavy sleepers in place. The range in includes:

FENCEMATE^® Sleeper Pin for Single Sleeper.
FENCEMATE^® Sleeper Pin for Double Sleeper.
FENCEMATE^® Sleeper Pin Corner Bracket for Single Sleeper.
FENCEMATE^® Sleeper Pin Corner Bracket for Double Sleeper.
FENCEMATE^® Sleeper Joining Plate.
FENCEMATE^® Sleeper Pin Angle Bracket.

Every item in the range is manufactured from heavy duty 2mm galvanised steel that will not rust or rot like traditional timber pins. The full range is also available in powder coated Olive RAL 7002 for extra protection and to match the colour of green treated sleepers.

With a sharp point and triangular profile, the sleeper pins are easy to drive into the earth, regardless of the soil type or conditions. This, combined with pins for double sleepers, ensures a smooth installation for any design. Birkdale recommends installing pins at one-metre centres along the length of the sleepers, reducing the likelihood of movement and allowing earth to be safely built up behind the sleepers for raised beds or steps.

John Abernethie, Managing Director at Birkdale, commented: “Sleepers are a simple and effective way of adding a rustic aesthetic to any garden and so we wanted to create an easy-to-use range of products that would provide added structural integrity without comprising the simple installation process that makes sleepers so popular.

“We are very pleased to add the new FENCEMATE^®Sleeper Support System to our product list, further enabling landscapers to access quality products regardless of the project they are undertaking.”

ISEKI to provide comprehensive showcase at Saltex

September 5, 2024/in News, Press Release/by Admin

ISEKI to provide comprehensive showcase at Saltex: Iseki UK & Ireland will showcase its comprehensive range of compact tractors, mowers, and electric vehicles across three areas at Saltex 2024, as the company continues to provide the turf industry with tailored machinery for every application.

Iseki’s Industry Leading Compact Machinery

Stand D050 will feature the Iseki range of ride-on mowers and compact tractors, including the new TM 4270 Cab and TM 4230 ROPS models. These models were first previewed at Saltex 2023 and have been highly popular across various industry sectors, having built on the TM range’s lightweight and high manoeuvrability. The 25hp TM 4270, which will be equipped with a snow plough and salt spreader on the stand to showcase its all-weather capabilities, is perfect for grounds care, sports turf, artificial turf, and winter work.

The new factory-built cabin is the most spacious in its class and comes with air conditioning, heating, a heated rear window, and front and rear LED work lights for maximised year-round operator comfort and safety.

Features on the latest additions to the range also include 21hp and 25hp Iseki diesel engines, which are stage V compliant and will run on HVO fuel too, as well as, rear

PTO 540/750 rpm for HST models and 540 rpm mechanical, and the three range

Hydrostatic transmission or F9/ R9 mechanical transmission.

Joining the duo of tractors is the TG 6507 IQ Cab with Iseki/MX C4 loader, while the

SF 544 1300 litre out-front collecting mower with 60” deck and SXG3 range with cut and drop options and high-tip collector will also be on the stand.

Electric Options for Every Sector

Meeting Iseki’s promise to provide the best option for every application, Stand D041 will feature the 100% electric Addax MT15 fully customisable commercial utility vehicle. With zero emissions, the Addax MT15 supports environmental goals set by clubs, councils and universities by reducing air pollution. It offers versatile configurations, including a flatbed, tipper, combo tipper, or cargo box, with a payload capacity of up to 1000 kg. These options make it suitable for tasks ranging from carrying tools and maintenance equipment to transporting parcels and managing waste. The combo tipper includes a lockable toolbox for added security, while the cargo box features hinged, lockable rear doors and a side-mounted roller shutter for easy access.

The vehicle is fully N1 road homologated with a top speed of up to 44 mph and a range of up to 82 miles WLTP (depending upon model), making it efficient for travel between sites located within low emissions zones.

Continuing the electric theme is the radio controlled Raymo mower with R14 SFINX post trimmer. Equipped with a 104cm rear discharge full floating deck, the fully electric mower has outstanding climbing ability and cuts on undulating and sloped terrain with ease using a zero-turn steering system and 4WD.

Its attributes make it perfect for commercial mowing in parks, industrial estates and other areas, while low running costs and easy operation make it an efficient addition to any company.

Bringing Quality to Grassroots Sport

Iseki has a long history of working with grassroots clubs in football and rugby, making Saltex’s Community Sports Zone the perfect place to exhibit the TXG S24 sub-compact and TLE 3410 compact tractor.

The 23hp HST and 40hp HST machines will be fitted with implements perfect for grassroots sport and will demonstrate the various benefits of a quality compact tractor. More information on all ISEKI products can be found on www.Iseki.co.uk

Iseki staff will be across all three areas to provide advice and answer any questions throughout both days of the exhibition.
