From mats that keep you on track to a better way to sharpen tools, check out these new products to use on your next project.
Reduce Equipment’s Footprint
Your clients want to see the finished project, not the mess and damage equipment can leave along the way. To protect the landscape when moving and operating equipment – as well as reduce safety issues caused by poor ground conditions – consider EarthSafe’s SureTrak and TuffTrak access mats.
SureTrak mats bear loads up to 175,000 pounds, yet weigh a mere 79 pounds, and are made from 12-millimeter, high-density polyethylene. TuffTrak mats can handle loads up to 300,000 pounds and are manufactured from recycled high-density or UHMW (Ultra High Molecular Weight) polyethylene. They use a “drop-in” bolt connection system for installation. Visit earthsafeaccess.com for more information.

WIRE CONTROL
Underhill’s Sapien two-wire controller operates up to 63 irrigation stations. The wires run from the controller to decoder/receivers in each valve, and the decoders respond to “on-off” commands from the controller. Sapien works in applications such as irrigation systems suited for a multi-wire conversion or two-wire expansion. It does not require special wiring or field grounding.

This close proximity in slots gives you more options and flexibility to decide where to place stakes depending on specific project needs. Oly-Ola provides 25 stakes and two connectors in this roll package.
