Keeping hedges under control has traditionally been
hard work - even with lightweight petrol-driven trimmers users
suffer back, neck, shoulder and arm strain.
But all that can now end with the introduction of the Elephant's
Trunk, a remarkable invention from Belgium that reduces the weight
of any trimmer to just 1kg.
Just strap on the harness, clip the hedgetrimmer to the loop and
you have an extra hand taking the weight of the machine, enabling
you to cut hedges all day without the aches and pains that normally
set in.
DJ Turfcare, specialists in innovative products for the grounds
care industry, are the sole UK distributors of the Elephant's Trunk
- manufactured by Green Technology, one of the leading
horticultural product companies in Europe.
David Jenkins, managing director of DJ Turfcare, says: "The
Elephant's Trunk will revolutionise the way professionals and
amateurs tackle hedgetrimming.
"By making lighter work of an arduous chore this effective device
will make the cutting of hedges less daunting, reducing muscle and
back strain."
The Elephant's Trunk is a light harness which takes the weight of a
hedgetrimmer and transfers it to the hips, eliminating strain on
back, neck, shoulder and arms.
It is adjustable for individual users and for different weight
hedgetrimmers - but all machines become the equivalent of 1kilo in
use.
