The Truplay circa 1979
The popular SISIS Quadraplay began life in the late 1970s as the Truplay. Lynn Hilton charts the machine’s progress into one of today’s most useful pieces of kit in the groundsman’s armoury
CYLINDER GRINDERS
The SISIS Truplay comprised of a rake, lute, roller and brush and was designed for maintaining hard-porous surfaces, in a single pass. A wooden platform was incorporated to carry a line marker. The Truplay was designed with Local Authorities in mind, many of which had several school or park pitches to maintain within a relatively small area. The original concept was to speed up maintenance work by carrying out more than one operation simultaneously.
In 1986 the Truplay was redesigned to be suitable for turf playing surfaces as well as hard-porous. Now called the Trugoom, the new model comprised of a slitter, grooming rake, roller and brush to give a groomed, striped finish, but the brush could be retracted if a rolled finish was required. The dimensions and weight of the roller were carefully calculated to give hard-porous areas a firm surface, without over- compacting or crushing the top layer.
Over the next two years market demands brought further improvements, and the Trugroom was again redesigned to offer even more flexibility and a wider range of implements including lute, various rakes, brush, roller and
spike-slitter. It was re-named the Quadraplay.
Four implements could be fitted to the mainframe in any order, were independently adjustable to achieve the desired effect, and each could be lifted out of use when not required. Implements were available with 6ft or 8ft working width. The design was kept simple using steel fabricated components to give a long, virtually maintenance- free working life.
By 1996 other implements had been added to the range for world wide use including the Diamond Buster for baseball diamonds and to break up neglected, severely compacted hard-porous surfaces. An intermediate rake, ZigZag brush, a sarel- type spiker called the Rolaspike, a seeder and a fine grooming rake were also added.
Responding to feed-back from customers, some of those additions have stood the test of time whilst others are no longer available. The current range offers eleven interchangeable implements enabling the groundsman or greenkeeper to choose the best combination for his particular requirements.
TwinPlay and SinglePlay frames are also available to
