Product innovations at GaLaBau 2024

/in , /by

Product innovations at GaLaBau 2024: Preparations are already underway for the appearance at Europe’s largest trade fair for the green industry in Germany in autumn. AriensCo will of course be represented at GaLaBau 2024 with both the AS-Motor and Ariens brands.

The entire team is looking forward to presenting visitors with a veritable firework display of new products. Another new feature is that the experts for high grass mowing, lawn care and snow clearing can be found in Hall 9 at Stand 420.

The aim of AriensCo’s trade fair appearance in Nuremberg from 11 to 14 September 2024 is to welcome sales partners from all over Europe as well as trade visitors from the municipal and service sectors to our stand. We also welcome private users who are looking for solutions for their individual mowing requirements or are looking for a final confirmation of their purchase. In addition to the current product portfolio, visitors can look forward to numerous innovations, which will be on show in action both at the new exhibition stand in Hall 9 and on the open-air site.

New products from AS-Motor

AS-Motor presents two results of several years of development work. One innovation comes from the field of RC devices, the remote-controlled mowers. In addition to the tried and tested AS 940 Sherpa RC remote-controlled ride-on mower and the highly successful AS 1000 OVIS RC chain-driven flail mower, a new remote-controlled high grass mower will be causing quite a stir. The second innovation from the tall grass experts comes from the field of alternative drives. At the AriensCo stand in Hall 9, visitors will be amazed at how much power there is in Li-ion batteries and what is possible with them in the tall grass sector.

News from Ariens

Last year, Ariens celebrated its 90th anniversary in the USA. This was taken as an opportunity to revise the entire range of zero-turn ride-on mowers. After being adapted to the CE standard, the new models are now being launched on the European market. From the entry-level Edge model for private gardens to the price-performance star Apex and the professional Zenith model, the complete series of zero-turn ride-on mowers will be on display at stand 9-420. Another topic that is currently being worked on is the use of zero-turn mowers on public paths. A solution for this is also expected to be on display at GaLaBau 2024 in autumn.

Redexim scoop ‘Product of the Year’ at SAPCA Awards: The Verti-Top® TB from Redexim has been crowned the winner of ‘Product of the Year’ at the 2024 SAPCA Awards.

One of just six awards presented at the annual gala dinner held at the Mattioli Woods Welford Road stadium at the end of February, the Verti-Top® was also a highly commended runner-up in the ‘Sustainability Award’ category.

Now into their ninth year, the SAPCA Awards celebrate the achievements of SAPCA members across the sports and play facility construction industry. The six categories are designed to highlight the valuable contribution that SAPCA members make to facilities and communities up and down the country.

Shortlisted in two categories, the Verti-Top® Tow Behind (TB) works on the same principle as the Verti-Top® 1200 and larger 1800 PTO driven series but utilises a 6.5hp engine. This allows the machine to be towed by any vehicle without the requirement for a PTO, thus reducing combined weight while offering effective cleaning and dust/debris extraction. It’s ability to screen and clean sand and natural infill materials means the Verti-Top® TB is suited to industry standards of the future – actively reducing bacterial and airborne contamination and other health risks.

On collecting the trophy for ‘Product of the Year’ Paul Langford, Commercial Director for Redexim UK, said, “We have always been ahead of the curve when it comes to providing the maintenance solutions demanded by the industry and this award reflects the effort of the whole Redexim team to ensure we are continuously meeting the environmental and industry challenges of today, and those into the future. A big thank you to SAPCA for hosting a brilliant event and congratulations to all the other winners and nominees.”
