Australian Pump’s Ultra, 4,000 psi 20 lpm machine, falls into the A-Class. “We’ve had to boost production numbers substantially to meet the demand as users decide to ‘get pure’,” says Mr Hales. This heavy-duty machine is part of Aussie’s registered award-winning ‘Scud’ design. Aussie’s Scud series deliver better results and offer users OHS advantages not found in other units. For example, the Scud design has virtually no ‘sharps’ and its ergonomics allow easy movement on site. “The weight distribution and four big 13-inch steel wheels with flat-free tyres make the blaster extremely manoeuvrable”, says Mr Hales. “The machine is as easy to push around as a baby’s pram”. The Ultra packs real whack and when used with an Aussie heavy-duty turbolance delivers a whopping pressure rating of 6,800 psi! That turbo rating does not impact on the classification of the machine which is always rated based on its pump bar/litres per minute rating, not the impact or effectiveness of the work being carried out. The big machine is powered by a Honda GX630 23HP heavy-duty electric start twin-cylinder engine and features a ‘Big Berty’ Bertolini triplex pump with a slow speed pump and a gearbox drive. The company chose to use Honda engines because of their excellent market reputation, not only in Australia but worldwide, their service support network and their famous ease of starting. “Honda engines start the first time every time,” says Mr Hales, “That’s why customers love them and won’t go for 3rd World copies”. The Aussie Ultra is widely used by professional jet-wash contractors doing jobs as varied as property maintenance, brick cleaning, or roof restorations. “Our efforts in this direction are all part of our ‘Safe Operator’ program,” says Mr Hales. “Our slogan of ‘Faster, Smarter, Safer’ is not just empty words but a mantra by which the company operates. It drives our advanced, innovative designs and reinforces a clear understanding that we are out to cut times, improve efficiency and reduce operating costs. We expect the market to continue to embrace the new Ultra ‘A’ model and to come with us on a journey of helping to make users safer and more efficient.” WORKPLACE HEALTH & SAFETY -Spring Balancers - Magnetic Lifters - Electric Chain Hoists - Forklift Attachments - Portable Aluminium Gantrys EN217 P | 09 263 7725 F | 09 262 0970 E | sales@stratalign.co.nz W | www.stratalign.co.nz
