The Right Tools for the Job

In the spray industry, it is essential to have the proper tools for the appropriate tasks, particularly where sprayers are concerned. Backpack and handheld sprayers are practical and versatile pieces of equipment and are useful for spraying a wide range of liquid applications, including herbicides, fertilizers, and insecticides.

Advantages and Enhanced Capabilities

Many professional spray applicators give backpack and handheld sprayers little consideration, and stick to using basic models such as the Solo 1 Gallon Handheld Sprayer or the Hudson Commercial Bak-Pak Sprayer. However, advancements in design and technology have made these products more efficient and comfortable to use, therefore warranting further exploration into their various features and benefits.

There are many new models on the market with more options than ever before on backpack and handheld sprayers. To make sure you include these products in your equipment inventory, we've made a helpful list of the top 3 key benefits of backpack and handheld sprayers:

1. Versatility. Both backpack and handheld sprayers are efficient, reliable, and durable while offering dependable performance. The ability to meet various application requirements is expanded with the use of these products, and many professional spray applicators keep a few of these products in their equipment inventory. 
2. Energy boost. Battery-operated backpack sprayers employ power from a 12-volt battery supply to the pump. Because the transfer of energy is continuous and the sprayer pressurizes automatically, you save work and time. These sprayers offer hours of continuous use on a single charge so they make long jobs easier to complete, such as spraying fertilizers or pesticides in nurseries and greenhouses, or spraying turf gardens and small trees with herbicides, pesticides, and other types of fungicides. Battery-operated backpack sprayers are also a great choice for spraying large lawns, fruit trees and more. 
3. High-power. High-pressure backpack sprayers like the Solo motorized backpack sprayer model #433 has the power to achieve fine spray mists, even at extreme heights. There's even a lumbar pad on the the lower back strap to ensure maximum comfort.

More Options Available Than Ever Before

While new backpack and handheld sprayer options  are impressive with advanced performance and capabilities, manually-powered choices will remain industry standards. But the days of thinking of these sprayers as boring, are a thing of the past. 

Sprayer Depot offers a wide variety of sprayers to accomplish just about any spray application, from backpack and handheld sprayers to 1,000 gallon air sprayers.
