Exclusive First Look at Game-Changing Innovations at SALTEX 2024
SALTEX 2024 is set to be a must-attend exhibition of the year, offering visitors an exclusive opportunity to see the unveiling of cutting-edge technology from some of the industry's leading brands.

From innovative irrigation solutions to eco-friendly weed management tools, this year's exhibition will showcase products that are shaping the future of grounds management.

Zasso Zap Weeder

In a world-first, Kersten will debut the Zasso ZAP Weeder, marking a breakthrough in eco-friendly weed management. This 100% battery-powered electric device is not only emission-free but also highly efficient, using electricity to heat and kill weeds down to their roots.

With its quiet operation, minimal vibration, and precise side-shift function, the ZAP Weeder is ideal for noise-sensitive areas and environmentally conscious groundskeepers. Attendees can visit Kersten at stand G075 to experience the future of weed management firsthand.

Upgraded TDR Rotary Mower

Another highlight of SALTEX 2024 will be the launch of Major Equipment Ltd's upgraded TDR Rotary Mower, designed for managing expansive green spaces such as parklands, sports pitches, and golf courses. This next-generation mower boasts enhanced durability, precision, and efficiency, making it an indispensable tool for both local authorities and private contractors.

Key upgrades include a fully galvanised body for superior corrosion resistance, 5mm blades for a cleaner cut, hydraulic brakes for added safety, and a heavy-duty driveline for reliable performance even in wet conditions. Available in two sizes, 4.90m and 6.1m, the TDR offers unparalleled operational flexibility. Visit Major Equipment Ltd at stand J112 to see this industry game-changer up close.

KAR UK’s Wireless Valve Link

Visitors will also get a first look at the revolutionary Wireless Valve Link from Hunter Industries, launching at the KAR UK stand (E053). This system simplifies irrigation by eliminating the need for traditional copper wire connections, providing a flexible and cost-efficient solution for complex landscapes. With wireless technology that can manage up to 54 valves without requiring new wiring, the Wireless Valve Link saves time and money while offering seamless integration with Hunter’s ICC2 and HCC controllers.

It’s the perfect irrigation system for sports fields, commercial landscapes, and residential areas alike. Visitors can learn more about this game-changing technology ahead of its UK availability in early 2025.
