AERATOR
Compacted synthetic turf pitches are a thorn in the side of the field managers. Synthetic turf pitches are very sensitive to compaction due to intensive usage and contamination. Compaction of the fiber/infill system will lead to compacted pitches and the damping effect of the system will be lost. An additional disadvantage is that the grip of the sport shoes will be reduced, eventually this will cause injuries.

COMBINATOR
The GKB Combinator is the ultimate tool for removal of unwanted turf. This machine has the capability to remove up to 2″ of unwanted material in a single pass. This allows you to run a clean and efficient operation, totally removing the material and leaving a clean and level surface. This is the only step needed before re-seeding or laying sod.

COMBISEEDER
Are you looking for a fast and efficient way to seed or overseed your golf course or sports turf? With the Combiseeder we offer you both solutions, as well as the possibility to seed multiple types of grass. The Combiseeder has two spiked rollers, that open up the soil and accurately spread seed across the full width of the machine.....

DEEP TINE AERATOR
Compaction is a problem for groundsman and greenkeepers worldwide. Aeration of compacted sports fields and golf courses is a common practice in all renovations and maintenance programs. The GKB Deep Tine Aerator can penetrate through the compacted turf with various tine sizes on different depths. Surface water can pass through the profile and it allows air into the root structure which leads towards a healthier grass plant and improved surface.

DRAGFRAME
Have you just finished renovating your natural grass or hybrid sports pitch? Do you immediately want to level the dressing soil or sand, that makes imperfections in your pitch? Do you want to provide your sports pitch with the finishing touch after the operation? Than the GKB Dragframe is the perfect tool for you.

ECO DRESSER
Buying and spreading of dress ground is not necessary anymore, because the EcoDresser takes dress ground direct from raw top layer. The recycling process that the EcoDresser uses creates the ideal field conditions for sowing and re-seeding, while ensuring very intense aeration. In addition, compacted soil is broken up and cultivated aiding in water drainage and grass root development. The combination of cost saving, quality...

LEAF CLEAN
To keep an artificial sportsturf in the right condition, it is important to remove leaves on time from the field. By doing that, you prevent the leaves from being kicked into the infill. The Leaf-Clean is the ideal machine for collecting leaves, small twigs and such. The suction box is specific designed to only collect leaves and not infill material. The suction box is of course completely adjustable, so that the Leaf-Clean can be used on different types of infill material...

QUICK CLEAN
Maintenance of synthetic turf, playability and extracting particulates. These are several subjects that frequently pass under review, when it concerns the maintenance of different types of synthetic turf pitches. This is not surprising. A synthetic turf pitch consists of an intelligent system, where the suppliers and contractors adjust the technical characteristics of the pitch to wishes and demands from the sport associations...

ROTOBRUSH
Brushing the edges of synthetic turf pitches is important. In general, the most persistent contamination is around the edges, primarily in the form of moss and algae settlements. All this contamination can generate dangerous, slippery situations for the athletes. Besides which, the dirty edges impair the appearance of your pitch. You don’t want to give moss and algae a chance to take hold...

SANDSPREADER
Do you want to keep your sports turf or golf course in prime condition? We know it is a challenge throughout the entire year. The GKB Sandspreader can help to evenly apply or spread a vast variety of materials across your fields. For example, spreading sand on your golf course or sports turf, during both the construction of your fields or for maintenance purposes. The Sandspreader is the perfect machine to do just that...

STONEBURIER
The creation of the perfect natural grass sports pitch or a unique golf course begins with the appropriate foundations. A homogeneous upper layer can provide the correct starting point for a great grass pitch. Do you encounter areas of your upper layer filled with stones? As a result, does your grass not grow optimally, which results in a low grass density? The Stoneburier provides you with the solution.

TOPAIR
As a field manager, your daily activities are focused on maintaining the sports pitch in excellent condition. Since natural grass is not capable to grow without oxygen, the aeration of the upper layer is a necessity. At the same time, you want to have a leveled sports pitch and recover the pitch to excellent condition. With the Topair you are in possession of the ideal machine to combine all these operations.

TOPDROP
The Topdrop is a premium brush dresser, with which you can apply several materials accurately. By means of a conveyer belt, the sand is transported to the mechanical adjustable metering valve. Because the brush is hydraulically powered, and the speed can simply be adjusted, it can ensure that the layer thickness will be accurately determined.

TOPFINISH
The ‘finishing touch’ will determine the appearance of your synthetic turf pitch. With the Topfinish you can drag every type of synthetic turf pitch. During the operation, you are able to spread the infill and remove possible contamination from the mat structure. Result: a good looking synthetic turf pitch of which you can be proud.

V-STRONG
The GKB V-strong verticutter has been developed, because of increasing market demand, for an aggressive aerating machine to remove thatch. By removing thatch, moss and other material the grass is allowed more space to grow, provides permeability of the top layer and increases resistance to disease and insects.

INFILL TESET & BALL ROLLER
The Infill Tester is a device that you can use to easily and accurately measure your infill material on synthetic grass.
The Ball Roll Tester measures how far the ball rolls on synthetic grass. The distance the ball rolls is directly related to the speed of the synthetic turf.
