Irripod Plus is a flexible, cost effective pipeline sprinkler irrigation system for pasture and forage crops.
Designed to act at low pressure Irripod Plus distributes water on a slow absorption rate over a 12-24 hour period. This
allows for effect absorption into the soil, while eliminating pooling and run off. The system only requires movement once
per 12-24 hour period.
Irripod Plus is a component system that is simple to install and manage. The system utilises protective Pod Skid covers
over sprinklers that are attached to a irrigation pipeline. Irripod Plus can be configured to suit individual requirements

Benefits of Irrigation
- Provides greater certainty with production than is possible with dry land farming.
- Provides options for diversification or intensification.
- Allows farmers to grow more pasture and increase livestock production.
- Ensures crops are not affected by moisture stress and critical growing times.
- Provides greater opportunity to gain a pasture/crop response to fertilizer application.
Reasons to specify Irripod Plus
Innovative Robust Design
- The while pods are highly visible minimizing the chance of running them over with farm machinery.
- Sprinkler riser, Cross Tee Anchor and Pipe Clamps prevent the Pod unit from slipping or twisting on the pipe when shifting
the lines.
- The heavy, rounded pod base provides a low centre of gravity, improving the efficiency of shifting the irrigation line.
New 'Pop-Up' Sprinkler Option
- An innovative 'pop-up' sprinkler option for 32mm and 40mm pipe.
- Provides an effective solution for pastoral areas that are to be grazed with inquisitive livestock such as horses, deer,
bull beef and young stock.
- Pod lid prevents hoof and leg injury in young stock and sprinkler damage from older stock.
Quality Materials
- High Impact UV resistant plastic coupled with long life corrosion proof fastening means Irripod Plus Systems are both
rugged and durable.
Component System
- Easy assembly of the sprinkler to the Pod Skid Base prior to the Pod body being attached, saving instillation time.
- Pods are easily replaced without the need to cut or rethread the pipeline.
- Pod covers are also available in black to accommodate Pod replacement in existing systems.
Multiple Configuration Options
- The system allows for multiple configurations to suit different sprinkler sizes and 32mm, 40mm or 45mm irrigation pipe
sizing.
Defining your Irripod System for ordering
- Choose the colour of the Pod; white or black
- Determine the pipe size; 32mm, 40mm or 45mm
- Determine the sprinkler type
- Determine the sprinkler nozzle size
- Determine the pressure regulator required, if applicable

Installing Pod Skids. (based on 15m spacing)
Step 1
The Tow Eye will need to be fitted to the end of the Feed/Sprinkler line that is furthest away from the irrigation hydrant.
Step 3
a) Lay pipe over Skid Base and secure in position with Cross Tee Anchor and Pipe Clamps.
c) Select the riser to suit your sprinkler size. Fit rubber seal to sprinkler riser, locate riser onto pipe and cross tee
anchor- ensure fastening nuts are tightened evenly.
e) Locate body on Skid base and push firmly down to engage grip lugs.
g) Fix wire clip into opposing holes on body sides.
Step 4
Having completed the assembly of the first Pod Skid, measure along the pipe 15m from the last Pod Skid. This is where you
will place the next Pod Skid. You now need to assemble to the Pod (repeat step 3). When you have completed the assemblies
of the Pod simply follow step 4, and step 3 until you have completed all Pod Skids.
Operating Guidelines
Irripod Plus System Management
- Moving times- 12 or 24 hours, depends upon system design.
- Return times- Range from 8 to 14 days and are determined by soil structure, pasture/crop type, water availability and
local climate conditions

application rates, the distance to be irrigated and the rotation intervals appropriate for the situation. Each Irripod irrigation
line can be customized to suit varying paddock sizes and shapes while also accommodating existing obstructions.
Irripod irrigation lines are strong, lightweight and flexible, easily moved while the system is operating by attaching
the lines to an ATV or a farm vehicle.
The flexibility of Irripod Plus means the system can be configured for many different end uses in addition to traditional
pasture and forage crop irrigation; these include orchards, golf courses, sports fields and race tracks.
Advantages of Irripod Plus Systems
Lower cost of ownership
- Allows irrigation of more marginal land.
- Simple to add to irrigation scheme as funding allows.
- Low pressure systems translates into lower running cost.
- Only requires one person to shift the lines.
Simple technology
- Easy to understand and manage.
- Does not require specialist skills or tools.
Efficient water application
- Low sprinkler height means less wind drift and effective water distribution pattern
- Mimics natural rainfall allowing for efficient soil water absorption and less runoff.
- Smaller droplet size means less soil compaction.
Versatile
- Able to be used on flat or rolling country and with odd shaped fields.
- Able to be turned on and off without waiting for the irrigation cycle to be completed.
- The system can be left on while livestock are in the field.

Step 2
With the Tow Hook fitted in place, mark a position that is 1m from the Tow Eye fitting. This is where you will install the
first Pod Skid.
b) Drill 15mm (9/6") hole and required spacing for the sprinkler type being used and remove all drilling swarf.
d) screw sprinkler into sprinkler riser.
f) Secure top body by screwing around the base.
h) Screw wire clip holders into the holes provided.
i) Flush the irrigation line prior to fitting the pipeline end cap, to remove any drilling debris left in the cap.
Step 5
You should now have all the Pod Skids fitted to the Feed/Sprinkler line and the Tow Hook on the sprinkler end of the line
1m from the first sprinkler.
Moving Irrigation lines
Irripod Plus lines have been designed to be moved whilst still operating. The system can be moved simply and safely.
- Movement is typically done by an ATV.
- Use markers on the fence to align the irrigation line movement and required increments.
- Use Hansen Tow Hook and Tow Rope to pick up irrigation line
- In one smooth movement proceed to skid the Feed/Sprinkler towards the marker sign at the other end of the field. Unhook
and proceed to next line.
