Boom Truck
We run Automatic Holden Colorado’s, this allows us to have a lower centre of gravity, with a wider wheel base than the Toyota Cruisers, as well as being lighter and more comfortable. All this combined makes a safer and enjoyable work truck
16m wide, split into 5 auto-shut sections, to maximise the precision of the chemical being applied, and minimise and damage to crop.
We run Topcon x25, which are state of the art technology, for maximum precision of placement, and one of the best units on the market for proof of placement.
We are also run Precision Agriculture gear in our truck, This allows you to send us spray job info straight to us, for increased proof of placement.
We run Teejet regulators and valves, which are the best on the market
The Teejet auto regulator allow for a constant flow rate at different speed, especially over undulation paddocks.
1200L shaped plastic tank allows us to minimise surplus chemical, and get the most out of a tank load.
The booms have 5 different hydraulic rams, which allows us to keep a precision spray fan on the ground as we spray, if the ground is undulating. And it also allows us to swing the booms around from the safety of our cab, ready to drive on the road.
