Industry-leading turf installation brand now offers a two-in-one
sod installer.
CHICAGO, Jan. 15,
2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- SIDEKICK USA, manufacturer of the revolutionary turf
positioning machine, announced today that its award-winning*
apparatus will now be available as part of a dual-use sod
installer. The aptly named SIDEKICK DUO will be the only installer
of its kind with the internationally patented SIDEKICK
attachment.
DUO is the result of years of engineering,
fabrication, and – most importantly – looking to our past for
inspiration!
"We are excited to get back to our original SIDEKICK prototype
model," said Paul Carlson, Founder
and CEO of SIDEKICK USA LLC. A
seasoned contractor himself, Paul initially created the SIDEKICK
attachment on one of his custom-made sod installers as a way to
help his employees with installing thick-cut sod at Solider Field
in Chicago. After successfully
patenting his invention, SIDEKICK shifted away from their installer
in favor of established compact tractor models. "After years of
retrofitting SIDEKICK attachments for popular tractor brands," said
Paul, "we wanted to produce a versatile, all-in-one installer that
is specifically designed for SIDEKICK. The DUO is the result of
years of engineering, fabrication, and – most importantly – looking
to our past for inspiration!"
SIDEKICK DUO's six-wheel design offers unmatched efficiency with
the lightest footprint possible. This paired with the patented
design of the SIDEKICK apparatus gives groundsmen and contractors
the option to unroll, kick, or both all with only one piece of
machinery. Additionally, thanks to resourceful engineering, the DUO
can expand and contract in size – optimized for both transport and
storage.
SIDEKICK DUO streamlines the installation process, speeding it
up considerably with the use of a compression plate to successfully
push turf rolls together for a seamless surface. Freeing up turf
management teams to focus on other important tasks. Before
SIDEKICK, a full-field replacement could take at least three full
days of backbreaking labor. Now, the entire process typically takes
only one day with a SIDEKICK, and with far less physical effort.
With SIDEKICK DUO, unrolling and compression can happen with one
machine in mere seconds. After completion, the playing surface can
be ready for use on the same day. This also allows for more
activities on the field - including sporting events and concerts -
to take place.
SIDEKICK is the official equipment and partner of Rose Bowl
Stadium in Pasadena, California,
as well as distribution partners with STEC Equipment, and HG Turf
Group. It is also responsible for aiding turf installations at over
a dozen stadiums in the National Football League, such as Allegiant

Super Bowl 50. Additionally, SIDEKICK has been utilized for both
natural and hybrid turf installations around the world including
Australia, New Zealand, Israel, Japan, South
Korea, China, and

FIFA World Cup.

About SIDEKICK
SIDEKICK USA is the company
behind the SIDEKICK and SIDEKICK DUO, the award-winning machine
that's revolutionizing the thick-cut sod and sports turf
industries. The patented SIDEKICK was developed to help sports turf
managers, turf contractors and ultimately, athletes. When natural
grass on athletic fields gets worn down and needs to be replaced,
turf managers often seek thick-cut sod for immediate results.
Thick-cut natural and hybrid turf can be up to four inches thick.
It's much heavier than regular turf, which greatly increases
stability and playability.
