Cobra 2 puts on the bite

Written by 

A new King Cobra 2 travelling rain gun from HiTech Enviro Solutions builds on the success of the earlier Mark 1, carrying over key features that made the earlier model a standout, the company says.

It can achieve application depths of only 1mm, and application rates of 4.2mm per hour, over an area measuring 46 x 75m, travelling 400m. 

A 6-speed gearbox allows the machine to operate from 0 - 3.5m/min, dependent on the material being applied.

Improvements include a nylon tow rope, making it operator friendly -- no ‘frayed’ wire strands to puncture hands and no kinks! 

A dog clutch makes things easier: it can be easily uncoupled to allow the cable drum to freewheel for easy setting up.

Business development manager Rob Johnson says the wider tricycle undercarriage promotes self-centring and better alignment, and a larger main cover allows easier access for setting up and servicing; and it gives more room for monitoring or proof-of-placement devices.
