About

Hey there! Welcome to Tru-Turf, where rolling isn’t just a job—it’s our passion and purpose rolled into one! We’re all about perfecting the art of rolling, but our mission goes way beyond that. We’re also here to support people, drive innovation, and champion environmental harmony. Tru-Turf is a commitment to excellence in turf care while being mindful custodians of our planet.

Each roll is a symbol of our dedication to supporting agronomists worldwide. We’re here to nurture ecosystems and maintain that delicate balance that keeps our world thriving. So, join us in this journey where rolling perfection meets a profound responsibility to care for our environment and elevate turf care to new heights!

A dynamic, innovative company that has chosen to excel at one product line rather than be mediocre at multiple lines.

Our Patents

Our Patents

The Roller Assembly is our most important patent and from the below diagram, you will see that the first Smoothing Roller begins to smooth the turf surface. The second Smoothing Roller then continues smoothing the same turf area and the third Smoothing Roller - spaced apart differently from the first two - then completes the smoothing of the same turf area working like a trowel, progressively smoothing away imperfections such as bumps, imperfections, corrugations, footprints and tyre marks that are left on the turf.

Rich history of 35 years : breaking myths around rolling, patents for truer and smoother turf, pioneering lightweight mechanised rolling, innovative heavy-duty rollers, and sustainable and gentle electric rollers...
