Trilo makes GroundsFest debut with Multipurpose showcase

/in , /by

Trilo makes GroundsFest debut with Multipurpose showcase: Trilo are looking forward to making their GroundsFest debut this 9th and 10th September, with a showcase of multifunctional vacuum collectors on stand RB220 at Stoneleigh Park.

Renowned as one of the global leaders in the field of leaf clearance, Trilo’s Multipurpose range extends the robust performance and versatility of their units to other green space maintenance tasks including cut and collection and large-area scarification.

The Trilo Multipurpose range is proof-positive that versatility doesn’t have to mean a compromise in performance. Where other collectors spend the months outside of leaf-fall season in the shed, the Trilo range – which spans models from 3m3 to 20m3 – works on, successfully completing tasks around the maintenance calendar for local authorities, golf courses and other green space managers.

Visitors to the outdoor display area at GroundsFest will be able to find the Trilo M4 and, larger, Trilo M10 on display. The M4 with its 4m3 hopper capacity, offers the compact, quick collection of leaves – making light work of one of the autumns most time-consuming tasks. When not collecting leaves, clippings and other debris in the autumn, the Trilo Multipurpose can be equipped with a scarifier shaft for the effective scarification of large areas such as parks or fairways – with all extracted material simultaneously collected in the same pass.

Alternatively, a flail shaft can be fitted for the fast cut and collection of areas such as golf roughs, roadside verges or the annual end-of-season maintenance of wildflower meadows.

The interchangeable heads can be quickly swapped in and out, with minimal tools, resulting in less time spent in the workshop and more out in the field. Further efficiency is also delivered by Trilo’s hydraulic high-tip function, offering the controlled disposal of waste into compost or awaiting containers. For the first time the M4 will also be displayed with a fully-hydraulic work arm, a new feature for 2025, enabling the wanderhose to be operated from the comfort of the cab and meaning all aspects of the machine can be operated by just one person.

Power up your green performance and find out how Trilo is the perfect addition to any maintenance fleet by speaking to a member of the technical team, on hand to answer all of your questions across the two-day show.
