The Imants SandCat moves lightly over the turf, slitting the surface and introducing sand to improve drainage and enhance the properties of the root zone, with the compact size of the machine making it ideal for greens and tees. Used empty, it has similar features to the Imants ShockWave and can therefore be used to aerate hard, compacted areas of fine turf. The SandCat features overload protection by a torque limiter PTO shaft.
