Arena Sand Levellers on Trolley Wheels are an Equine hit!
Man’s relationship and domestication with horses’ stems back to prehistoric times. In such times many believe horses were originally hunted for meat but pinpointing their domestication has been difficult to prove.
Man’s relationship and domestication with horses’ stems back to prehistoric times. In such times many believe horses were originally hunted for meat but pinpointing their domestication has been difficult to prove. The earliest evidence is from two thousand years bc where there is evidence of horses used in chariot burials and later in chariot races. However it is undisputed that our relationship with horses has been a crucial part of man’s evolution from the cave to corporate boardroom. From racing to riding, and hacking to horse shows the equine word has a myriad of products designed to ease our relationship with horses.
One such product is an arena sand leveller on heavy duty trolley wheels. Sand levellers I hear you ask? Well imagine you are at the Horse of the Year show, in-between events on an arena or ménage, a sand leveller towed by a tractor evenly redistributes the arena surface, following horses disruptive hoof imprints. Traditionally arena or ménages have sandy surfaces, although there are alternatives of synthetic or waxed surfaces. Transport wheels guide the rollers and sand levellers to ensure a smooth and even finish for the next competitor.
For arenas, horse shows, or horse races, the arena sand levellers on heavy duty trolley wheels are ideal; however for riding stables and polo clubs, a smaller leveller towed by a four wheel buggy is more appropriate. These utilise lighter duty trolley wheels, such as pneumatic wheels, and puncture proof wheels. Again the design is essentially the same, using blades and rollers to smooth the arena or ménage surface. Pneumatic wheels, guide and aid manoeuvrability of the arena leveller, and their tyre marks are removed by a low lying adjustable kick board.
It is often surprising the uses of trolley wheels in this country, from arena levellers, to boat launching trolley wheels, to sand surfers, to goal posts and go karts. It seems the invention of the wheel was the mother of invention as us enterprising Brits make use of a well-designed product and apply it to a number of applications. It is often said it’s the ability of a product to adapt to its environment that ensures its longevity in the market place, and this can be said for our humble trolley wheel. Not just a trolley wheel any more I hear you cry! With over fifty sizes to choose from and many differing designs, the trolley wheel has evolved into a product that can be used on so many applications, from Equine to Marine, and from the School grounds to the factory floor!
