Product in Focus - Cricket Pitch Cover Applicator

 

Glen Eira City Council
 

 “Finally, a complete Cricket Pitch Cover System
that’s convenient, mess free, and takes
2 men
less than 1 hour to apply
or retrieve!

Gecko’s unique patent pending hydraulic system makes OH&S issues with cricket pitch covers a thing of the past.

Let’s look at the benefits individually:

Gecko's pitch recovery system is the quickest and easiest system available to lay out or retrieve pitch covers and making OH&S hazards with cricket pitch covers a thing of the past.

Traditionally cricket wickets have been covered with loam & soil during the "off" season. This not only creates a mess, but is an unsafe surface for a footballer to play on. Gecko recognised the urgent need for a system that provides:

  • Football player safety
  • Safer manual handling methods for covering wicket
  • Protection to the cricket wicket when removing cover

The unique patent pending system offers an effective method of covering cricket wickets in the centre of the ground, providing exceptional protection to a footballer when falling on the centre pitch area and ensuring the playing pitch remains undamaged.

An area that both ‘looks’ good & ‘feels’ great !

Up until now councils have had very little alternative to player falling on dirt covered concrete. The Gecko Cricket Pitch Cover has been tested for the following:-

  • Clegg Hammer test
  • Traction test
  • Critical fall height test

10 Year ‘Written’ Guarantee
 

Gecko offers a 10 year ‘Written’ guarantee for the Cricket Pitch Cover product. Gecko’s grass is UV stabilized against fading. Australia’s UV level is greater than most other countries in the world hence it is imperative that a quality UV resistant material is used in order to achieve our 10 year guarantee.

Gecko's complete Cricket PITCH COVER System meets all AFL guidelines for player safety
