Imants Shockwave Xtreme

ShockWave was invented with the goal of providing some form of tillage while leaving the top surface undisturbed. The target market was mainly for fine turf on sports fields and golf courses. As a world leader in rotary spaders, Imants took step towards designing a machine like a rotary spader but with slicing knives instead of digging blades. After some intense development, a new machine was born. It was astonishing to see what impact this new design had on soil decompaction.

As the originators of the Rotary decompactor, Imants developed a central drive gearbox which is a main advantage on maintenance and durability of the ShockWave.

These machines are used in very harsh conditions such as heavily compacted soils, which benefit greatly from the use of the Shockwave. Since contractors tend to use larger tractors with more horsepower, a void was filled by designing a machine capable of handling higher horsepower. This development from Imants called the ShockWave Xtreme is a 9 foot wide unit with the capability of working with tractors up to 160 horsepower.

The Imants ShockWave Xtreme is a linear decompactor designed to both maintain proper soil porosity and bulk density during the growing season and revitalize heavy wear areas by relieving soil compaction, improving aeration, and removing surface water. At a working depth of 6” to 13”, the ShockWave Xtreme provides maximum surface decompaction with minimal surface disruption. The wide 9 foot working width and up to 1.9 mph operating speed makes the ShockWave Xtreme the ideal choice for sod farms, polo fields, park districts, contractors and anyone maintaining large turf areas.
