Why new equipment is the best equipment!
[dropcap]T[/dropcap]ake a walk down any aisle in your local tool store and you’ll instantly understand the appeal of a shiny new piece of equipment. It’s clean with pristine paintwork and often equipped with the latest advances in engineering – new and upgraded equipment is awesome to work with.
Instead of cluttering up your shed, workshop or garage with equipment that may get used once-in-a-blue-moon, you should check out our range of new and upgraded equipment.
You see, we’re constantly on the lookout for new equipment that will make your projects easier as well as new models of existing equipment that have better features. Over the last 12 months here are examples of some exciting equipment purchases.
Meteor Floor Grinder
A commercial quality floor grinder that’s also suitable for domestic projects, the Meteor Floor Grinder is a renovator’s dream. Designed to easily make short work of glue residue, paint, epoxy and tile adhesive to prepare a concrete floor for a new covering it can also take care of small trip lips and high spots in concrete finishes.
Its advanced design makes gouging a thing of the past thanks to the specially-designed coupling which allows the diamond tooling head to follow the undulations of the floor.
The Meteor comes with a full shroud for general grinding as well as an edge shroud allowing the machine to grind as close as 2mm from the edges of vertical walls.

60kg Plate Compactor
A plate compactor is an indispensable piece of construction equipment that is used to compact different types of soil, gravel and sand. By creating a solid foundation for the work that will follow on top of it greatly reduces the risk of future settling.
The 60kg plate compactor is very easy and straightforward to use. Once the machine is turned on the agitator causes the flat, heavy plate on the base of the machine to vibrate forcing the ground material to compact and pack together more tightly.
It is very versatile compactor because of its narrow width making it perfect for narrow access sites as well as pedestrian walkways, small paved areas, water tank pads and even trench footings. It also has a fold down handle for transport which reduces the overall height of the compactor to 600mm.

These hand-held concrete grinders are high-speed aggressive units used for grinding small or hard to access concrete surfaces. They are perfect for removing small trip lips, where two surfaces join at uneven heights or for edges of concrete abutting a wall or other vertical structure.

Lawn Roller
Maintaining a healthy and attractive lawn takes work, but tools like our new Lawn Roller makes the job a little easier. The lawn roller is used to help level the soil and improve the overall appearance of the lawn as well as speeding up the establishment of newly seeded or turfed lawns.
On a newly turfed lawn, a lawn roller is designed to remove air pockets and ensure that the roots are in contact with the soil beneath.
On an established lawn, using a lawn roller periodically helps smooths the grass so you can identify where new turf or seed are needed. It can also help to smooth the lawn prior to mowing, which prevents damage to the turf and to your mower.
