The GW40 is a water powered cable/hose travelling sprinkler able to water up to 160 metres by 50 metres per run.It is designed for watering golf courses, sports ovals, large flat turf areas and agricultural row crops.
The travelling irrigator, with hose attached, is placed at one end of the area to be watered, and the cable is pulled to the other end where it is attached to an earth anchor. The hose is connected to an outlet valve located approximately midway along the travel path. From this point the hose can reach either end of the area to be watered. When the water is turned on, the unit proceeds to pull itself along the cable. At the end of the run, the water supply is shut off by means of a mechanically activated valve.
