Contact us for current availability.

Overview

Thermal weed control attachments (MTWC E900 and sensor-operated MTWC H900) use 100% hot water, no chemicals or pesticides, to treat weeds on pavements and public spaces. Suited to contractors, municipalities, and facilities teams subject to herbicide restrictions.

Key Features

102 °C (215 °F) hot-water treatment kills weeds without toxic chemicals, no species is resistant

900 L (237 gal) high-capacity rear tank on MTWC E900 reduces shift refills

MTWC H900 sensor model scales from 500–1,100 L (132–290 gal) tank and treats up to 400 hectares per season

Front-mounted treatment unit is up to 140 cm (55 in) wide with a 25 cm (10 in) side-shift function on E900; 120–160 cm (47–63 in) wide on H900

20 m (22 yd) hand lance on spring reel (E900) and 12 m (13 yd) reel (H900) for manual treatment of hard-to-reach areas

Automatic temperature control and heat exchanger cut energy use while holding a stable water temperature

Operating speed 0.5–5.0 km/h (0.3–3.0 mph) on the H900 sensor model

Only 3 treatments per season needed thanks to systemic effect on the plant's roots

Who This Is For

Landscape contractors, municipalities, and facilities management companies that must maintain parks, town squares, cemeteries, and stadium pitches under chemical-free mandates. Particularly well suited where treatment near open water or in bad weather is required.

Ideal Applications

Town-centre pavements, kerbs, and pedestrian zones

Parks, green spaces, and public squares

Cemeteries and memorial grounds

Stadium pitch surrounds and sports facilities

Sites adjacent to open water where chemical sprays are prohibited

What Sets It Apart

Uses 102 °C water rather than herbicide, so it can be applied in bad weather, near open water, and on sites with chemical bans that shut out traditional sprayers. The H900 sensor model covers 400 hectares per season and needs only 3 treatments per year thanks to a systemic root effect, while the E900 carries a 900 L tank to cut refill stops. An integrated heat exchanger reduces the energy required to hold treatment temperature, and a 20 m hand-lance reel reaches hard-to-get corners. No species of weed is resistant.

Common Upgrade Path

Replaces glyphosate and other chemical herbicide programmes, as well as flame-weeder trolleys, for councils and contractors transitioning to non-chemical vegetation control.

When to Consider a Different Model

For quick surface-only removal of moss and grass at joint lines, the mechanical Multihog Weed Brush may be a faster and lower-water-use option.
