New Gerni "Ergo" spray equipment
In the past years, focus has grown on more basic cleaning solutions - but still the reduction of tiredness and ease of use being of great importance. As time goes on, health and safety issues become more and more important. Gerni once again takes a step forward in launching the new Ergo 2000, positioning the spray gun firmly as the most ergonomic and user friendly solution in the market.
The new design fits comfortably in the hand. There is plenty of space inside the trigger guard for big hands or for people wearing gloves. The trigger itself is activated by the strongest fingers. In addition to these basic features, Gerni has added totally new VarioPress regulator. This small trigger enables the adjustment of the pressure/flow with one finger - and is easily withing reach of the main trigger itself.
The Ergo 2000 gun is also very easy to service, replacement of wear parts being done simply and quickly on the field. Ergo 2000 is also equipped with a SoftGrip rubber treatment around the trigger guard to reduce vibrations and ensure additional user comfort. The Ergo 2000 includes the standard quick boyonet coupling system foir an easy change over of accessories.
- reducing accesory change over time by more than 50%. But by far the greatest achievement on the new spray gun is the significant reduction in activation and holding forces. Activation force is the power required to pull the trigger each time you wish to work. Holding force is the power required to keep the trigger open and is critical in long term use. The higher the forces, the more tired the user will become - and the more risk there is of strain and injury due to repeated or long term use.
The new Ergo 2000 gun sets unmatched standard in both these areas:
• A reduction in activation forces of 25% compared to previous model and of 45% compared to competition models
• A reduction in holding forces of 26% compared to previous model and of 55% compared to competition models
This development clearly places the Ergo 2000 as one of the most user friendly spray gun on the market.
The spray gun offers also other key features:
• Comfortable SoftGrip solution – rubber grip on trigger guard for more comfortable posture and cushioning of vibrations
• Famous quick coupling system for accessories – quicker to connect and disconnect, reducing downtime.
• Direct access to parts for easy maintenance
• All machines delivered with swivel coupling to prevent drilling of hose
• New unique VarioPress solution for an easy adjustment of pressure and water flow from the trigger
