Description
 
The Artificial Surface Grooming Rake (ASR2) is purpose-built to deliver efficient, routine maintenance for artificial playing surfaces constructed with a sand base. Engineered for reliability and ease of use, the ASR2 ensures consistent surface performance and extended playing life through regular grooming.
 
With a 48" working width, the ASR2 connects easily via a clevis or 50 mm ball hitch, making it compatible with a wide range of towing units.
 
Two rows of staggered spring tines work through the playing surface to alleviate compaction, improve drainage, and rejuvenate the pile structure. In heavily compacted areas, an integrated weight tray allows adding ballast to increase tine penetration.
 
A trailing brush completes the grooming process by levelling and finishing the surface, leaving the play area clean, even, and ready for prolonged use. Each tine row can be raised independently, allowing operators to tailor the grooming action to specific site requirements—for example, operating solely with the brush or a selected tine row.
 
Designed for simplicity and safety, the ASR2 can be towed by tractors of 13 hp and above, and easily lifted out of work for transport or storage.
 
The unit arrives fully assembled for immediate use.
 
Key Benefits
Improves Surface Performance
Reduces compaction and restores infill distribution to maintain a consistent and safe playing surface.
Enhances Drainage
Spring tines open the surface structure, helping water move more freely through the sand base.
Customisable Operation
Independently lift each tine row to achieve the exact grooming action required for different maintenance tasks.
Effective Finishing
The trailing brush levels and grooms the surface, leaving a visually clean and game-ready playing area.
Increased Penetration When Needed
Built-in weight tray allows the addition of ballast for tackling heavily compacted or high-traffic zones.
Easy Transport & Setup
Simple lift-out mechanism for transport, plus arrives fully assembled for immediate deployment.
Compatible with Common Equipment
Works efficiently when towed behind tractors of 13 hp or greater, using standard hitching options.
