Agri Market Insight & Access (AMIA), based in Devon, is the exclusive distributor for the UK and Ireland of Selvatici Amenity Machinery. The range of machinery offered by Italian manufacturer Selvatici includes the Aeroking Vertical Drainage Aerators and the Sandqueen Sand Dispensers.

Production of the Selvatici Aeroking’s started in Bologna, Italy, in the 1990s. Since then there have been a lot of innovations and improvements to the machines such as a new and more robust gearbox, completely renewed bodywork and a double lever for the front roller which ensures an easier lift.

After the positive feedback from the demonstration day on October 31, 2019, in conjunction with Exeter City FC, as well as having just sold a 300.50 1.65m model to Minehead Barbarian RFC, the Selvatici Aeroking has been proven to be popular with sports clubs with various different budgets due to the machines starting at just £9,950 plus VAT whilst maintaining excellent performance and build quality.

The Selvatici Aeroking range consists of eight different models, which range from 1.2m to 2.5m and start with a low HP requirement of just 25HP. A good variety of additional extras are available such as a wide range of different tines and self-levelling conveyors for cores when having used a hollow tine option.

When demoing the 300.50 1.2m model at both Exeter City FC and the Minehead Barbarian RFC pitches, the head groundsman of each club was pleased with the depth of which the tines were reaching when aeration was taking place.

AMIA’s amenity sales manager, Bethany Williams-Nichols, says “I’m thrilled with the feedback from the Exeter City demonstration day as well as my recent sale of the 1.65m model to Minehead Barbarians RFC. Both have proven that there is a definite market for the Selvatici Aerokings in the UK and that here at AMIA, we have a vertical drainage option to suit all budgets.”

As well as the Aeroking Aerators, Selvatici manufactures the professional trailed and self-propelled Sandqueen Sandspreader range. The Sandqueen Spreaders come in four different sizes and come with a number of attractive features and benefits.
