The sideroll system is, essentially, a hand-line system on wheels that is moved from row to row by a petrol powered Briggs & Stratton engine.

The wheel line system is set up in your field. You irrigate for a predetermined length of time. To move the line, disconnect the water, allow to drain. Start up the Briggs & Stratton engine, and move the system, typically 18m (60ft) increments. Then simply connect water back into the system. Turn it on. Run for another watering cycle.

Typical settings for the lateral roll system are 8, 12 and 24 hours. But it is possible to have any length of time you desire. It normally takes about half an hour to complete each move.

Low labour requirements
Typical installation (3 moves a day) uses 1½ hours labour per day. No special know-how required.

Low initial investment
Costs less than linear or centre pivot.

Low operating costs
Operates on low water pressure. System utilises standard impact sprinkler heads that can
operate from 40-60 psi. This cuts pumping requirements, thus cutting power costs.

Low maintenance costs
Virtually maintenance free, uses standard sprinkler heads and a Briggs & Stratton engine that
operates about 10 minutes per move.

Designed for crop clearances of 3 feet
Ideal for row crops, hay, lucerne, pasture, potatoes, carrots, peanuts, sorghum, soybeans, cotton, etc.
