ProE-Glide gives easy ride for accurate fertiliser application

The innovative ProE-Glide from Techneat Engineering provides an entirely new concept of stand-on precision fertiliser and granular application spreader, to improve productivity and accuracy for turf managers and professionals.

Set to be launched at GroundsFest 2026 (16-17  September), the whisper quiet, zero-emissions battery powered spreader provides a stand-on platform for operators that achieves exceptional work rates, while maintaining total control of the application and spreading rate.

The ProE-Glide has been shortlisted for the GroundsFest Innovation Awards 2026, for Turf maintenance equipment.

Designed for sports turf, amenity grassland and landscape applications, the ProE-Glide delivers a highly efficient and user-friendly solution for grounds professionals.

Adjustable calibration settings allow operators to accurately apply different granular products, including fertiliser, grass seed or de-icer salt. The fully adjustable spread width and spread bias help maintain even coverage, even in challenging conditions such as crosswinds.

Launching the ProE-Glide at GroundsFest 2026, where turf and lawncare managers have the chance to try out the innovative machine, Techneat amenity specialist, Richard Wheatcroft, says: “With infinitely adjustable application settings, a high-capacity hopper and an ergonomic stand-on design, the Pro E-Glide delivers accurate, consistent spreading, while hugely improving operator comfort and productivity.”

In user-trials the ProE-Glide has proven capable of spreading fertiliser across 5,000m² (half-hectare) in less than 30 minutes. “The combination of speed, efficiency and accuracy has significantly increased our productivity,” reports The Lawnologist grounds care specialist, Mark Walsh. “The level of control is excellent.”

It has handled work on large domestic lawns, on private estates to sports pitches, allowing the team to complete work faster and dramatically reduce operator fatigue, without compromising on application quality, he adds.

“It’s a very well thought out product that’s intuitive to operate for professional grounds maintenance, and genuinely a pleasure to use.”

Features of the Pro E-Glide include an 80-litre hopper with a stainless-steel body. The future-proof design of the ProE-Glide will also enable operators to fit a purpose-built demountable precision sprayer unit in place of the spreader hopper, to further increase the machine’s flexibility and value as a turf management tool.

Its powerful electric motor and battery power pack is matched to provide high output through the working day and cover large areas, without noise or disruption to players or customers. An integrated bout marker keeps applications on track. The machine can be easily moved between sites in a trailer or van.
