Solo Sprayers

SOLO Sprayers manufactures a complete range of garden sprayers, accessories, and spare parts for residential, commercial, industrial, and agricultural applications across Australia.

Solo is the no. 1 brand of sprayers used by city councils, contract gardeners, nursery professionals and rural farmers and lawn & garden enthusiasts alike. Solo Sprayers have been distributed in Australia by Clayton Engineering for over 45 years, and the partnership formed is as solid as our history.

The ‘SOLO story’ begins in a small workshop in Stuttgart, Germany, where brothers Hans and Heinz Emmerich developed the first, small, two-stroke engine. In 1948, both the SOLO company and the KMS30 engine were born. Conceived as a power source for portable machines, the KMS30 was an incredible feat. it weighed 6.35 kilograms yet produced 1.2HP, despite the ‘lightest’ industrial engines at that time being more than double its mass – weighing in at 15 kilograms!

SOLO went on to innovate in other areas, but here, it ‘led the charge’ as one of the first companies to equip Australians with chainsaws and brushcutters!

Now, those characteristics that defined SOLO in 1948 – including its pioneering spirit, entrepreneurial courage and talent for innovation – are embodied by the second generation of the founding Emmerich family. In the 70 years that have since elapsed, SOLO has consolidated its rank as a global leader of superior sprayer equipment.
