Whether you’re just starting out or expanding your lawn care fleet, choosing the right spray rig can make a big difference in your productivity, profitability, and results. With so many options available, it’s important to understand what factors matter most when selecting equipment that fits your business model.
1. Know Your Services and Application Needs
Start with the basics: what are you spraying, and how often? If your services include lawn fertilization, weed control, or pest management, your rig needs to be compatible with the chemicals and volumes you’ll use most. High-pressure systems may be needed for certain applications, while others require fine misting or broadcast spray options.
2. Consider the Size of Your Service Area
Are you working mostly on residential lots or wide-open commercial properties? A smaller, more compact unit might be ideal for tight yards and easy transport, while larger-capacity rigs help reduce fill-ups and increase efficiency on bigger jobs.
3. Evaluate Tank Size and Configuration
There are a variety of tank sizes available. You’ll want to strike a balance between capacity and vehicle weight limits. Multi-tank systems can also help you switch between products without cross-contamination or downtime.
4. Think About Growth and Customization
Your business might start with one technician and a small truck, but what about next season? Choose a rig that can grow with you. Custom setups allow you to adapt over time—adding tanks, storage, or reels as your operation expands.
The right spray rig doesn’t just help you get the job done, it helps you do it faster, better, and more efficiently. Take time to evaluate your specific needs and talk to an equipment provider (like us!) who understands the lawn care industry inside and out.
