About Foley United
Foley United has been manufacturing grinders for the turf industry since 1926 and has been the most innovative grinder supplier in the world. The greatest evolution of grinder technology started in 1993 with Foley’s introduction of the AccuMaster, the first fully enclosed, fully automated table-top spin/relief reel grinder. This unit addressed dust and noise issues in the shop while at the same time freed technicians to do other tasks while the machine did the work. The innovation continues with a new patented rear roller mounting system introduced in 2015, making set-up more efficient and accurate than ever. Grinders are the most important “shop tool” a maintenance facility can invest in and Foley’s engineering is all about capability and choice. Their goal of providing superintendents equipment that allows them to do quick touch-up spin grinding or returning to OEM specifications is a mission that separates Foley United from everyone else.
