We were delighted to return to GroundsFest in 2026, bringing our latest spraying equipment and gardening tools to Stoneleigh Park. This year was particularly special: our new Spider ULV Sprayer made its GroundsFest debut, its first appearance at any trade show, and received an Innovation Award in the Landscape Equipment category.
It was a proud moment for our team and a fitting introduction to a sprayer designed around precision and efficiency. Alongside the Spider, we showcased our Mankar ULV sprayers, Pulmic and Keeper spraying equipment, and a selection of Kamikaze and Keeper tools for everyday garden and grounds maintenance.
Introducing the Spider ULV Sprayer
The Spider brings ultra-low volume spraying to a vehicle-mounted format. ULV stands for ultra-low volume: spraying technology that applies very small volumes of liquid, with controlled application at the heart of its design.
Engineered for efficient spraying, the Spider delivers precise application and excellent coverage while keeping product use to a minimum. With a spraying range of up to 60 km from a single 6 L tank, it is designed to cover considerable distances between refills. Actual range will depend on the operating setup and application requirements.
Its flexibility is another key feature. The Spider is designed to integrate with compact tractors, ATVs and quad bikes, grounds maintenance equipment and custom vehicle installations. This gives operators different ways to incorporate ULV spraying into their equipment, with the installation suited to the vehicle and the work involved.
For anyone exploring a vehicle-mounted spraying system, the combination of precise application, range and integration options makes the Spider well worth a closer look. Our team can discuss your requirements and help you assess a suitable setup.
Receiving recognition at its first trade show made the occasion even more memorable. We are pleased to see the Spider’s practical approach to efficient spraying recognised within the landscape equipment sector.
Continued interest in Mankar ULV spraying
Our Mankar ULV sprayers were also on display. These systems consistently generate interest at shows, and remain an important part of our spraying range.
Mankar combines ultra-low volume technology with controlled droplet application, or CDA, to produce a consistent droplet size for targeted spraying. The range includes handheld and wheeled push-along designs, providing different options for operators working on foot.
Showing Mankar alongside the Spider brought together different approaches to ULV application, helping visitors explore equipment suited to their working environment and preferred way of operating.
Battery and manual sprayers for everyday jobs
Alongside our ULV equipment, we showcased Pulmic and Keeper battery-powered sprayers. Electric operation removes the need for manual pumping, an appealing feature for anyone carrying out regular spraying work.
Our Pulmic range includes backpack and wheeled options for different tasks. For example, the Pulmic Pegasus 15L Battery-Powered Backpack Sprayer combines a 15 L tank with three-speed flow control and adjustable padded shoulder straps, offering control over output and comfort during use.
The Keeper Forest range offers more compact rechargeable options for garden spraying. Mist and jet settings let users adjust the spray to the task, while USB charging makes recharging straightforward. The Keeper Forest 5, for example, provides a 5 L capacity for home, garden and greenhouse jobs.
We also displayed manual spraying equipment from the Keeper Garden range. Designed with ease of use and comfortable handling in mind, these sprayers provide straightforward options for gardeners who prefer manually operated equipment.
Practical tools for pruning and clearing
Our Kamikaze 4-in-1 Garden Rake was part of the display too. Its removable side panels create wide, medium and narrow raking widths, helping users clear open areas and reach smaller spaces. Those same panels become detachable grabbers for collecting leaves and debris.
We brought three models of Kamikaze telescopic pole saw and four models of Kamikaze lopper. The telescopic pole saw range uses adjustable aluminium poles and curved pruning blades to extend reach when cutting overhead branches, with locking mechanisms to secure the chosen working length.
The loppers offer a choice of sizes and cutting capacities, with mechanisms designed to multiply cutting force and reduce the effort needed. The range includes bypass and anvil designs, giving gardeners and grounds maintenance teams options for different pruning jobs.
Cordless tools from the Keeper range
Our Keeper battery-powered hand tools included the KP6 cordless chainsaw and KP25 cordless pruners.
The lightweight KP6 is designed for cutting branches, stems and stalks, with a cutting capacity of up to 80 mm. The KP25 offers a maximum cutting diameter of 22 mm for pruning around the home and garden. Both provide cordless operation, making them convenient to move between jobs without a trailing power cable.
We will be back at GroundsFest in 2027
Thank you to everyone who visited our stand and took the time to explore the equipment we brought along. We have already booked to exhibit at GroundsFest again in 2027, and look forward to returning.
