Schiller at Saltex

Schiller Groundscare were very pleased with Saltex’ second year at the NEC. The Birmingham venue was the launch vehicle for the new Classen TA18 Aerator, which attracted a great deal of attention and received an exceptional reception from groundsmen visiting the stand.

We had an excellent show,” says David Goose, Schiller’s Director of Commercial Sales, “from the first morning onwards we were getting plenty of good, quality leads and many prospects particularly interested in the new aerator.”

The Classen TA18 Aerator features a steerable tine bank and combined with its compact, streamlined design it is easy to manoeuvre around trees, shrubs and other obstacles whilst aerating at speeds up to 4.2mph/6.7kmh. It has five banks of tine wheels, compared to the usual four, and therefore pulls more holes at a faster rate for greater productivity. Even weight distribution is another feature of its coring ability in tough soils and stability on slopes and inclines, with two rounded weights that are easy for the operator to remove. At only 214lbs/97kg the TA18 is one of the lightest aerators of its type available and that makes for easy lifting and transportation. You simply use the integrated lift handles, while a foldable handle cuts the transport size by half and built-in tie downs secure the unit.

Another feature that sets this aerator apart is the drive sprocket mounted in the centre of the unit for easy access and cleaning,” says David “which is an important factor in minimising downtime for operators and especially hire centres. Overall, we’ve designed the TA18 for maximum productivity and easy portability.”

The aerator certainly was the centre of attention at Saltex and takes its place in the Schiller line-up of Classen, Little Wonder and Mantis equipment for landscapers, groundsmen and homeowners. Classen backs its compact TA18 aerator with a two-year commercial warranty. Schiller Grounds Care UK. 0800 840 0888 www.classen.uk.com
