Mobile Long Reach Irrigation

Our Long Reach Irrigator (LRI) is a unique portable watering system – the unit is automatic, 12V Battery Operated, mobile watering systems that provide a means of watering large areas quickly and efficiently.

Sports fields and pitches benefit from LRIs as the turfed areas are usually so vast it is difficult to keep them suitably watered without an irrigation system of some kind.

To attempt this job without an effective irrigation system could take days to be done correctly, but with an LRI it can be achieved in a couple of hours or less depending on the size of the area.

If you do not have access to a water source with adequate pressure, we can assist with the design and installation of a tank and pump to suit your requirements.

All our football field sprinkler systems are supplied at a highly competitive price and offer significant savings over other pitch irrigation systems. To find out more and get up-to-date prices please get in touch or fill out the form below to request a callback

Customer Testimonials

We use our Long Reach Irrigators all the time. They are particularly good if you leave them on overnight. Out portable LRIs cover such a wide area and give the perfect sprinkling, so they don’t puddle up. The other benefit is the long reach, which you can adapt to suit the area you need watered. It is particularly good before training sessions or matches when we need to lightly water the whole pitch in a very short time – the LRIs only take one hour to water the whole pitch whereas ordinary travelling sprinklers take 3 hours.”

Mark Perrin, Head Groundsman

Crystal Palace Football Club
We have been delighted with the LRI50 Long Reach Irrigator and would recommend any ambitious club and grounds team invest in one There is no way the pitch would be where it is today without being able to water such a large area during the summer months and any dry spells. The Irrigator is an invaluable part of the grounds team and has never let us down. It has to be seen as an investment, not a cost as without it; our pitch would be nowhere near as good as it is today.
