Municipality

FT-1600 MIDvac leaf trailer clearing leaves in Krootuse municipality.

Kristel Mülle-Vaik, Niitvälja Golf

It’s a time-saver for us. In retrospect, the main reason, we invested in Foresteel FT-1600 Leaf Trailer was it’s efficiency and multifunctionality. We definetly were much more efficient last leaf season and saved a lot of time thanks to the trailer. We were also able to keep the pathways and areas between the tracks clean that previously were difficult to handle. The Underframe Suction unit is a great tool as it allows single person to work with the unit. What makes it great compared to others is that it’s easy to unmount the leaf equipment and use the trailer for transporting soil and other goods around the area so we’re able to use it for the full season.

Paul Marley Head Greenkeeper, EGCC

I bought a Foresteel FT-2200 leaf vacuum because the price was so good in relation to the quality. The FT-2200 helps us work smart, not hard - we managed to clean two areas of the golf course in less than a day. Normally it would have taken us two days with twice as much labor. This means that we can get much more done during the time of year we need to be extra efficient due to less staff. Our productivity also increased thanks to the large towing capacity and user-friendliness.

The 4-5 fold increase in leaf cleanup efficiency we've gained with this machine frees up time to do things that are more important.

— Pühajärve SPA, EE

Why didn’t we get this one earlier? We get leaves collected much easier and quicker now and we don’t need to clean them twice due to wind anymore.

— Tierp church, SWE

We rolled away 15 carts stuffed with leaves today! Wow! The leaf sucker is tormented non-stop, which it deserves!

— Markus E. Västerlövsta church SWE

I’m so satisfied about my Foresteel and in these days I had a new proof I made the right choice. Simply superb.

— Antonio Z. from Pavia Italy

I am very satisfied with the purchase. We use FT-600 Leaf Trailer with a lawn tractor and occasionally ATV to maintain and clean a private manor park with lots of trees. When using with mower, we also do the cut-and-collect to the park area is spotless and perfect.

— Kalmer P. Manor EE

— Niitvälja Golf EE

We purchased Foresteel FT 2200 with underframe suction unit to save time during seasonal leaf cleanup. Besides leaves, the trailer is highly effective also at cleaning pine needles, acorns and other debris. The turbine with shredder blades makes a big difference. We underestimated how much compacted leaves the tipper can fit and were very positively surprised.

Trailer arrived in perfect shape, thank you and thank you also for the gift, appreciated. I found it very stable on the slope and not so heavy to pull, great choice. It was a pleasure deal with you and Foresteel.

I'm very happy with the cart. The cart is balanced and performs well. I initially chose manual handpump hydraulics, but switched to more comfortable electro-hydraulics later. I also later ordered optional gravel hatch and forestry posts.

— Priit V. Estonia

My irrigation trailer arrived promptly as estimated. Axle was unassembled for delivery but was quick and easy to install with included instructions. I am very happy with the product, it’s very well built with care and good material. A very pleasant experience, nice people, good support. I’d be happy to do more business with Foresteel.

— Emanuel G, Manciano Italy

We are three times more efficient at it, washing bus pavilions and park furniture 3x faster with 1 person.

— Municipal service provider, EE

Saku municipality irrigates flower baskets now with Foresteel electric irrigation system. Zero emission and noiseless action is highly valued by an healthy community.
