Martin Lishman introduces new shrouded boom for its Micro-Spray

Building on the success of its Micro-Spray, Martin Lishman has responded to customer feedback with the introduction of a new shrouded boom option, further enhancing the sprayer’s ability to deliver precise, low-drift application on fine turf, according to the company.

Since its launch in 2015, the Micro-Spray aimed to be a solution for sports turf professionals with its no-impact maneuverability, efficiency and spraying capabilities.

In an industry where accuracy is critical, minimizing spray drift is a key challenge, according to the company. The new shrouded boom concentrates spray application to a specific area, eliminating spray drift and allowing operators to spray near sensitive boundaries or in less-than-ideal weather conditions. The enclosed design also helps limit exposure for both the operator and bystanders.

“We had several requests for a shrouded boom option for the Micro-Spray,” said Joel Capper, managing director of Martin Lishman. “While nozzle technology has come a long way, we recognized the importance of an integrated shrouded boom rather than just bolting on additional shielding. Our engineering team designed a lightweight, height-adjustable folding boom that seamlessly fits into the Micro-Spray’s frame, staying true to our modular approach. This not only enhances usability but ensures future upgrades remain simple and efficient.”

Designed with amenity spraying in mind, the shrouded boom features a unique folding mechanism, allowing it to collapse neatly for transport and fit through gateways and passageways. The Micro-Spray also has a focus on delivering its features in a compact form, including a three-section valve block with agitation, independent shut-off nozzle bodies, stainless steel hardware and a wide range of factory-fitted customization options.

“At Martin Lishman, product development is driven by listening to our customers,” said Capper. “The new shrouded boom is a direct response to their feedback, and we’re excited to see the positive impact it will have on their spraying operations.”
