Frequently asked questions
Common questions about FIMCO from 3G Electric.
What is the tank capacity range for FIMCO tailgate sprayers available from 3G Electric?
FIMCO tailgate sprayers supplied by 3G Electric include models with tank capacities from 15 gallons to 45 gallons. Examples are the LG-15-EC (15-gallon, cordless, ATV/vehicle mounting), ATV-25-71-QR (25-gallon, cordless, ATV/UTV mounting), and LG-45-SS (45-gallon, tractor/UTV mounting). These sprayers are designed for mobile application of herbicides, pesticides, and liquid fertilizers. The cordless models use battery-powered pumps for portability, while other models may use vehicle power. Selection depends on the required volume and mounting platform.
What materials are used in FIMCO sprayer wands, and what nozzle type do they feature?
FIMCO sprayer wands, such as models 97.5026 and 991022, are constructed from aluminum and plastic. They are equipped with an adjustable tip nozzle that allows the user to vary the spray pattern and flow rate. These wands are used for applying liquid solutions including herbicides, pesticides, and cleaning solutions in industrial spraying tasks. The aluminum and plastic construction provides a balance of weight and durability for handheld operation.
Can FIMCO skid-mount sprayers be used in truck beds, and what is the power source?
Yes, FIMCO skid-mount sprayers are designed for mounting in a truck bed. The FS-150-4R model features a 150-gallon tank and gas-powered operation. This configuration allows for mobile application of herbicides, pesticides, and liquid fertilizers over large areas. The gas engine provides independent power, making the sprayer suitable for use where vehicle electrical systems may not be adequate for prolonged pumping. The skid-mount design facilitates loading and unloading from a truck bed.
What types of materials can FIMCO tailgate spreaders distribute, and how are they powered?
FIMCO tailgate spreaders, such as the ATV-DMS-12V-2RC, are broadcast spreaders designed for distributing granular materials like seed, fertilizer, and salt. They feature a poly hopper and steel construction. The spreader is powered by the vehicle battery and mounts to an ATV/UTV hitch. This setup allows for even coverage over large areas, such as pastures, driveways, and industrial grounds. The poly hopper resists corrosion from fertilizers and salt, while the steel frame provides structural support.
Are replacement parts available for FIMCO spreaders and sprayers through 3G Electric?
3G Electric stocks assorted parts and accessories for FIMCO equipment, including items like the 5016030 steel flat washer designed for dry material spreaders. This washer provides load distribution under nuts and bolts to prevent damage to the spreader frame. Other replacement parts may be available depending on the model. For specific part numbers, refer to the product listings or contact 3G Electric with the manufacturer part number of the required component.
What are the typical applications for FIMCO sprayers and spreaders in industrial and agricultural settings?
FIMCO sprayers and spreaders are used for applying herbicides, pesticides, liquid fertilizers, seed, granular fertilizer, and salt. Common applications include weed control, pasture management, agricultural spraying, and grounds maintenance. The mobile designs, such as tailgate and skid-mount units, allow for treatment of large areas like fields, pastures, and industrial sites. The adjustable wands and broadcast spreaders provide flexibility in application method, whether targeting specific plants or covering wide swaths.
