Irrigation Efficiency
Sprinkler SafeGuard is a patented innovative solution designed for irrigators to confidently adopt best practice dropdown hose technology on centre pivot and lateral move irrigation systems.
Product Features
The sleek design allows the Sprinkler SafeGuard to glide over internal fencing and through crops without tangles, snagging or damage.
The Sprinkler SafeGuard has space to accommodate all common sprinkler packages with all fixed + oscillating or flood + bubbler plates.
The Sprinkler SafeGuard is made from a durable plastic composite material built to last a lifetime of irrigation.
Tight fit on all standard 3/4 inch (24.13mm) drop-down irrigation hoses.
Retrofits easily onto existing sprinkler packages using two screws (included).
The Spinkler SafeGuard weighs 1lbs (456g) replacing the need for additional expensive imported weights.
Sharp internal edges for minimal spray disturbance.
Large paddles increase surface area, so sprinkler heads stay elevated if dragged over worked-up or undulated ground, reducing sprinkler head blockage.

Save Water & Increase Yields
Irrigation efficiency decreases by 3% every 30cm above the ground. The Sprinkler SafeGuard allows the adoption of LESA (Low Elevation Spray Application) and LEPA (Low Energy Precision Application) Irrigation.
​
Why use LESA / LEPA Irrigation:
-
Improves irrigation application efficiency (up to 97% efficiency for 30-50 years) with reduced use and little or no corrosion from spray drift on machines
-
15-20% reduction in water usage (Up to 3% water loss every 30cm from ground)
-
30% reduction in energy consumption (low pressure, reduced run time)
-
Improved crop yields (excellent pollination results, less disease in crops when watered below the canopy, less lodging)
-
Less damage to the soil from mineralisation and over-irrigating
-
Reduce wheel rutting/bogging
-
Sprinkler package represents 7% of total capital cost but is responsible for 70% of total performance.
Allow Internal Fencing & Rotational Grazing
The Sprinkler SafeGuard is designed to drag over all obstacles without damaging sprinkler heads, hoses, and other capital such as fencing.
​
Allows best-practice rotational grazing for mixed cropping and livestock farming operations under irrigation.
​
Internal fencing separates livestock and the pivot. Protecting livestock from being run over and keeping your irrigation machinery safe from destructive animals.
Save money when irrigating
Using the Sprinkler SafeGuard can saves $16,265 per year on an average 50Ha (400m long) center pivot. That's $325.30 per Ha per year you irrigate.

Don't pay for expensive weights
The Sprinkler SafeGuard weighs 1lbs (456g). Add additional weight to existing pivots or remove the purchase cost of new weights.
Stop damage to irrigation components
Irrigating with the Spinkler SafeGuard stops damage to sprinkler heads, hoses and irrigating machinery. This reduces maintenance cost in parts and labour. Also increases occupational health and safety with repairs on parts often occurring at unsafe heights.
