Lateral-Move Irrigation Systems
Maximize production with lateral irrigation.
Put more of your field to work and get maximum irrigation coverage with a uniform watering pattern. Zimmatic’s lateral irrigation systems—the 9500L and 9520PL—are a top choice for increasing crop quality and adding value at harvest.
Why choose the 9500L standard lateral?
Multiple options
Get greater flexibility to best fit your operational needs. Choose a hose-fed machine if you have a main water line adjacent to your field, or a ditch-fed machine if you have a water ditch at the center or edge of your field.
Maximum coverage
If you have a square or rectangular field, a standard lateral with GPS guidance can bring more of your crop into full production.
Precision application
Control water and chemical usage with the accuracy of our VISION Control Panel for laterals in order to increase crop quality and add value at harvest. It allows you to create plans specific to your lateral-move irrigation system with a user-friendly interface.
Why choose the new 9520PL pivoting lateral?
Incredible value
Combines a pivot and lateral system into one to provide greater flexibility for large, irregularly shaped fields. Pivoting laterals require lower water pressure, less wear and tear, and no additional equipment or costs—making them a valuable option for your unique landscape.
GPS guidance
Enhanced accuracy and reliability with GPS integration helps lower maintenance needs, man hours and energy requirements while increasing field coverage.
Exclusive optical barrier
Zimmatic’s new and exclusive optical barrier system offers unprecedented flexibility in programming compared to reliance on physical barricades or trigger programming changes used by competitors.
