What are hand and backpack sprayers and what are they used for?
Hand and backpack sprayers are reliable tools for applying herbicides, pesticides, fungicides, and other treatments with accuracy and convenience. For tougher or more corrosive chemicals, our Inter Industrial sprayer range offers durable solutions built to handle demanding use.
These sprayers are designed for spot spraying and smaller scale applications. They’re ideal for:
- Treating weeds in gardens, paddocks, or fence lines
- Applying fertilisers or foliar sprays
- Controlling pests and diseases in crops or orchards
- Jobs where precision is more important than covering wide ground
What types are available?
We supply both hand held sprayers and backpack units to suit different workloads:
- Hand sprayers: lightweight, portable, and suited for quick spot spraying jobs.
- Backpack sprayers: worn comfortably on the back, they provide greater capacity and ease of use for longer spraying tasks.
- Trolley sprayers: A practical choice if you want portability without carrying the weight on your back, making them ideal for larger gardens, nurseries, or small block spraying.
- Rechargeable WeedMasta™ sprayers: Battery powered for convenience, these units deliver consistent spray pressure without manual pumping, perfect for longer spraying sessions.
- Industrial grade sprayers: made with chemical resistant materials, recommended for harsher sprays or frequent use.
Why choose a backpack sprayer over a hand sprayer?
It often comes down to volume and comfort. A hand sprayer works well for small areas, but if you’re covering larger patches or spraying for longer periods, a backpack sprayer reduces strain and increases efficiency.
Any tips for safe use and maintenance?
To get the most from your sprayer and keep it in good condition:
- Rinse the tank and nozzle thoroughly after each use.
- Avoid leaving chemicals sitting in the sprayer.
- Check seals, hoses, and nozzles regularly for wear.
- Store in a clean, dry place out of direct sunlight.
- Use protective gear when handling herbicides or pesticides.
