GKB to showcase solutions for all at SALTEX

/in , /by

GKB to showcase solutions for all at SALTEX: Whether aeration, overseeding or topdressing of natural surfaces is on the agenda, or routine brushing or more intensive renovations of synthetic surfaces is required, visitors to SALTEX are guaranteed to find robust and reliable solutions on the GKB Machines stand, H053, this October.

From the natural portfolio, a particular highlight promises to be the GKB Combislit, which will be making its SALTEX debut. With the climatic challenges driving an ever-increasing requirement for regular aeration, the Combislit delivers fast and effective relief to depths of up to 15cm (6”) with minimal surface disruption. Available in 1.6m and 2.0m working widths, the Combislit uses GKB’s unique Evolvente® blades to spike and open all types of natural and hybrid surface ensuring optimal oxygen and moisture movement and linking up with deeper decompaction work conducted throughout the season.

The Combislit joins the Deep Tine Aerator (DTA) and the multi-functional Sandfiller in the GKB aeration portfolio, offering effective solutions for sports pitches, golf courses and other intensively managed green spaces.

Also on display will be the GKB Combitool. The Combitool gives turf managers the option of conducting multiple operations such as slitting, raking, rolling and brushing in one quick and simple pass. Delivering versatility and value for money, the Combitool is available in 1.2m, 1.6m, 2.0m or 2.4m working widths and is ideal for multi-sport venues, schools, local authorities and contractors.

The GKB technical team will be on hand across the two days to discuss the full range of equipment available for natural turf, together with maintenance machinery for synthetic surfaces – such as the GKB Deep Clean. The Deep Clean quickly and effectively screens and cleans out contaminants from all types of synthetic pitch. The combination of a vibrating screen and vacuum unit removes dirt, dust and detritus returning clean, de-compacted infill to your surface for optimal play performance.

More information is available on stand H053 as SALTEX returns on the 30th and 31st October 2024.

We now have more than 35 attachments for the Ventrac, so this year we’ll be exhibiting three Ventrac 4520 compact tractor units along with the new Rock Grapple and Loader attachments,” says managing director Rupert Price. “We want to show the industry that we have a diverse range of implements for almost every landscaping application, so we’ll also be displaying the Boom Mower and the 56” Flail.

“The Rock Grapple and Loader can transport anything from whole logs to loose debris and will sift large rocks from dirt and surrounding material. The independent top grapple traps odd-shaped materials, with multiple clamping points for transport and the open structure of the frame offers excellent visibility of the bucket’s contents. It’s the ideal for removing rocks during new turf installations, moving debris into trailers or shuttling material across complex properties.

“Ventrac has become a credible brand in the UK in just eight years with more and more groundscare professionals appreciating the versatility inherent in the product. We’re really looking forward to seeing customers, prospects and former colleagues at what is one of the premier shows for the UK groundscare sector.”

To understand why the industry has been impressed by the Ventrac product come along and visit stand B124.
