Is your sprayer truly ready for a chilly Alberta shutdown—or the first warm day of spring? Discover how a thorough sprayer inspection & winterization visit from Black Sheep Heavy Duty can save you time, money, and headaches when the next spraying window opens.
Sprayer Inspection & Winterization Services
Every acre you cover depends on a sprayer that delivers the exact rate, every pass. Our technicians start with a full boom-to-cab inspection: checking nozzle wear, sectional control response, pump output, and flow-meter accuracy. We pressure-test hoses, examine agitation systems, and verify electronic controls before documenting each reading so you know baseline performance.
For winterization, we flush product lines with a pH-neutral cleaner, chase them with potable water, and protect internal seals using an RV-grade antifreeze mix rated to –40 °C. Tanks are drained and left dry, or filled with the protective blend at your preference. We lubricate boom pivots, grease chassis pins, and top up gearboxes with winter-weight synthetic oils. If your sprayer carries chemical inductor systems, we include them in the flush to prevent crystallization. Finally, we label the machine with a dated service tag, giving you instant proof of readiness when the season restarts.
What Makes Us Different
You deserve more than a quick once-over. Four fully equipped service trucks—each carrying a 14 000-lb crane, high-capacity air compressor, welder, hydraulic power packs, oil-recovery system, pullers, air-arc outfit, mobile cylinder bench, and 100-ton track press—bring our shop right to your yard. If an inspection uncovers a cracked boom weld or a leaking ram, we can fix it on the spot instead of scheduling another visit.
Inside our controlled-environment facility at 37549 Range Road 232, six full-time technicians sharpen their skills through weekly OEM and vendor training. Their ongoing education means you benefit from the latest repair methods and software calibrations. Because we partner directly with major parts suppliers, any component we install retains its factory warranty—no red tape.
Black Sheep stands alone in Central Alberta: we serve agriculture and construction alike, so odd electrical glitches or heavy hydraulic repairs rarely slow us down. When producers in British Columbia or as far north as Nunavut call, we’re federally certified to cross provincial lines and bring the same standard of care. Day or night, a live dispatcher answers, locates the nearest truck, and confirms an ETA. Your spray window is short; our response time is shorter.

FAQs
What Areas Do You Serve For Sprayer Inspection & Winterization?
We operate from 37549 Range Road 232 near the junction of Highways 2 and 11 in Red Deer County, AB. While local producers remain our focus, we also proudly serve Lacombe AB, Ponoka AB, Rocky Mountain House AB, and Olds AB. Our federal certification lets us travel anywhere from British Columbia to Nunavut when duty calls.
Why Is Winterizing A Sprayer Important?
Trapped water can expand as it freezes, cracking pumps, valves, and manifolds. Residual chemicals may dry into hard crystals that block nozzles and corrode metal. Proper winterization displaces water with antifreeze, neutralizes residues, and lubricates seals, protecting the machine’s accuracy and resale value through the off-season.
When Should I Schedule An Annual Sprayer Inspection?
Plan for an inspection immediately after your final application while the season’s performance is still fresh. Fall service spots emerging wear before it worsens and lets technicians winterize in one visit. Early spring checks work too, but lead times tighten and hidden freeze damage may already exist.
