Lateral Move Systems

Zimmatic Lateral Move Systems
The design of Zimmatic's® lateral move systems allow farmers to irrigate up to 98 percent of a square or rectangular fields, as well as handle "L-shaped" fields. With a choice of water supply and guidance systems, each lateral move system can be customized to individual needs and situations.

Land prices are high – you need to maximize production
A Zimmatic Lateral Move or GEOlateralSM can irrigate fields up to 320 acres with 98% coverage. They can put more of your field to work, virtually eliminating idle land.

It takes a good yield just to recover your seed and chemical costs
A Zimmatic Lateral Move System lets you combine maximum irrigation coverage with a uniform watering pattern over your entire field. This combination helps ensure a better yield out of every acre for a higher return on your investment in production inputs.

You want the kind of control that will increase crop quality and add value at harvest
Zimmatic Lateral Move Systems are a top choice of irrigators growing high-value crops – particularly contract growers. In addition to more coverage and uniformity, they’re a management tool for providing precise control of water and chemical usage. In total, they can help increase your ability to plan more precisely and react faster in maintaining crop quality standards and meeting yield goals.

You want a system that can be designed for your operation and conserve resources
Zimmatic Lateral Move Systems are ideal for conversion from flood irrigation. They are a proven way to get more benefit from less water and to reduce pumping costs. In addition, their modular design allows them to be factory-tailored to your field and application.

You want a system that requires less labor and time to manage
GrowSmart™ controls make scheduling lateral move system operation faster and easier than even before. Our remote control system provides monitoring and management of system to minimize time and labor costs.

GEOlateral Systems

The GEOlateral is a pivoting lateral that combines the ease of pivot irrigation with the coverage of lateral systems. It is ideal for converting wheel-line or flood irrigation systems to a more efficient form of irrigation.

Increase your yields by making better use of your land with a Zimmatic GEOlateral irrigation system. Apply the correct amount of water at the right time uniformly – in every part of your field. Furrow irrigation systems fall short in this area, providing too much water in some areas and not enough in others. But this easy-to-use, economical and reliable hose-fed system can replace your wheel-line or flood irrigation system for better results year after year.
