Cooper Peglar knapsack

[Sponsored article]

Robust but now with every day comfort

Already known for professional sprayer quality the manufacturers of Hardi and Berthoud have now added a ‘comfort’ knapsack to their Cooper Pegler range, called the Evolution, in both a 15 & 20lt size.

It combines the rugged reliability of the Classic Series with its tried and trusted, diaphragm pump capable of coping with powders and contaminated water with new handy carrying handles, situated on top of the body and most importantly a full length padded harness and belt. Borrowed from the Berthoud knapsack, it’s comfort & benefits for the professional or regular user, really speaks for itself.

Progreen debuted the CP3 Evolution on their Progreen/Landscape Juice Roadshow Tour to great feedback. Progreen are now a recognised Cooper Pegler distributor and now stock the full range of CP knapsacks; the Classic Series, the modern 2000 Series and now the new Evolution Series in both 15 and 20lt sizes, which are held in stock, along with a long list of spares and accessories - such as nozzles, spray shields, telescopic lances and even a two metre-long lance!
