Small Boom Sprayers

Rapid Spray manufactures a comprehensive range of weed and herbicide sprayers for residential, rural, and commercial use. Our range includes hand and backpack sprayers for gardens and small properties, trolley sprayers for easy portability around the yard, 12V spot sprayers and trailers for ute, quad bike, and UTV mounting, compact UTV and field sprayers for medium-sized properties, the SprayScout purpose-built for ute and UTV operation, ultimate field sprayers for high-capacity farm use, and 3-point linkage sprayers for tractor-mounted broadacre application. All units are proudly Australian made in Singleton, NSW, and select units are backed by a 25-year tank warranty.

The best weed sprayer for your property comes down to three factors: how much area you need to cover, whether you need spot spraying or broad coverage, and what vehicle or equipment you have available. For gardens and small lifestyle blocks, a backpack or 12V spot sprayer is usually sufficient. Properties between 10 and 100 hectares typically suit a trailer sprayer or compact UTV sprayer, which offer greater tank capacity and faster coverage. For large farms and broadacre operations over 100 hectares, a linkage boom sprayer or ultimate field sprayer will significantly reduce time and labour. If you’re unsure, contact our team or speak to your nearest Rapid Spray dealer for a recommendation tailored to your setup.

A 12V spot sprayer is a self-contained spraying unit powered by your vehicle’s 12-volt battery, no separate power source required. The pump draws from a polyethylene tank mounted on your ute tray, quad bike, or UTV, and delivers consistent pressure through a spray gun or boom for targeted weed control. Rapid Spray 12V spot sprayers use Delavan pumps and UV-stabilised tanks, and are available in capacities ranging from 60 litres up to 400 litres. They are ideal for fence lines, driveways, paddocks, orchards, vineyards, and general property maintenance.

A spot sprayer is designed for targeted weed control, you direct the spray gun at individual weeds or specific areas such as fence lines and paddock edges. A boom sprayer uses a horizontal boom fitted with multiple nozzles to deliver a wide, even spray pattern across large areas in a single pass, making it far more efficient for paddocks and broadacre properties. Spot sprayers typically suit properties up to around 50–100 hectares, while boom sprayers become the practical choice for anything larger. Rapid Spray offers both types across its range, as well as combination units like the SprayScout that can be used for spot spraying or fitted with a boom.

Rapid Spray weed sprayers are compatible with herbicides, pesticides, fertilisers, and other approved agricultural chemicals. Common applications include broadleaf and grass weed control in pastures and crops, fence line and driveway maintenance, orchard and vineyard chemical application, and pre-emergent herbicide treatment before planting. Always read and follow chemical label instructions for mixing rates, safety precautions, and re-entry intervals before use.

Yes. Trailer weed sprayers are well suited to larger blocks, farms, and commercial properties where a ute or UTV-mounted unit would require too many refill stops. Rapid Spray trailer sprayers offer increased tank capacities and can be fitted with booms for wide-area coverage, reducing the time and effort required to treat large paddocks. They are towed behind a ute, tractor, or 4WD and are built to handle rough terrain on rural properties across Australia.

It depends on the unit. Hand and backpack sprayers and trolley sprayers require no vehicle — they are fully portable. 12V spot sprayers mount to a ute tray, quad bike, UTV, or side-by-side and draw power from the vehicle battery. Trailer sprayers are towed behind a ute, 4WD, or tractor. Linkage boom sprayers require a tractor with a 3-point linkage hitch. Always check the mounting requirements, towing capacity, and vehicle compatibility in each product listing before purchasing.

As a general guide: a 15–25 litre backpack sprayer suits gardens and very small properties; a 60–200 litre 12V spot sprayer covers lifestyle blocks and small farms; a 200–400 litre trailer or UTV sprayer is practical for properties between 20 and 100 hectares; and a 400–1,000 litre field or boom sprayer is the efficient choice for large farms and commercial operations. Tank size also depends on your water source distance and how many refill stops you are prepared to make per session.
