Secmair has developed its Topsprayer LA model to meet the needs of its customers in Latin America. This machine has been designed for handling tack coat and surface dressing duties.

Compatible with most European or American trucks, the Topsprayer LA units are designed, manufactured and tested in the firm’s French workshops and then adapted to the trucks on site by local partners.

Featuring an 8,000litre tank, the machine is equipped as standard with a 4.8m foldable spraybar, a hand lance, a direct heating system and an on-board computer with cabin control station. Secmair says that the design offers customers a combination of efficiency, precision and robustness.

The first Topsprayer LA units are already in service on the roads of Mexico, Peru and Chile. These units have been introduced as Secmair has developed its commercial presence in Colombia with a reach across Latin America from Mexico to Chile through an array of local partners.
