SPRAYERS & SPRAYING

Berthoud quality shines through

Berthoud have been producing sprayers since 1895 but their impact onto the UK & Ireland turf market has risen to stratospheric levels over the last 15 years with the introduction of the ‘ portage sante ’ – French for ‘ health harness ’, now thankfully known as the ‘ Comfort harness ’ . It was the first combined fully padded harness and belt system more familiar to hiking and camping backpacks , so revolutionary , even today , it was found in clinical testing to reduce stress on the back & joints by over 70 % compared to typical harness designs . Turf specialists and groundskeepers who used sprayers over long durations were quick to capitalise on the comfort and reduced fatigue it offered .
A common sight now amongst spraying professionals in sports , lawncare , industry and even Youtube influencers
( see : Premier Lawns , Daniel Hibbert Lawn Expert ), the Vermorel 2000 Pro Comfort and the Vermorel 3000 electric sprayer are complimented by other sprayers in the range to suit different needs and budgets , such as the Berthoud 1800 and the Cosmos .
Not resting on their laurels , Berthoud have also invented the only hand pump sprayer , the Berthoud Elyte Pro , capable of continuous use while walking . It is pressure tested to over 4 times it ’ s stated maximum . Indeed , all Vermorel sprayers are extensively quality- tested during production with one in eight , fresh off the production line , filled with water and used for working tests including holding high BAR pressures for a timed period .
This commitment to quality and reliability chimes with the modern
customer who can see not only the ergonomic benefits with Berthoud for their workforce but also the significant environmental benefits . Their durability and longevity means eliminating frequent purchasing of cheap imports , which reduces claims on resources and also the carbon footprint associated with shipping long distances . By investing in high-quality , better products , consumers produce a better result . Plus they contribute to a more sustainable future , minimizing waste and promoting environmental responsibility .
All Berthoud products are warranted ( between 2-5 years ) and are repairable thanks to our After Sales Service which guarantees the availability of spare parts for at least 10 years after the end of a sprayers production .
