More than mowing: the art of a perfectly maintained lawn

Top mowers for precision, reliability and ease of use

Anyone in Flemish Brabant looking for an experienced dealer of professional garden and park machinery will soon end up at Firma Thomas in Merchtem. For decades, the family business has been a trusted name among municipalities, sports centres, garden contractors and golf clubs. Since 2025, Firma Thomas has been the direct importer of the New Zealand top brand Trimax for Belgium and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg. This cooperation takes the offering for professional users to an even higher level, with mowers that combine precision, reliability and ease of use.

What started as a small workshop in New Zealand in 1981 has grown into a global player in commercial mowing solutions. Trimax builds robust, user-friendly mowers for golf courses, sports fields, recreational areas and public spaces. Until recently, Belgian imports went through a French distributor, but since early 2025, Firma Thomas has been buying directly from the manufacturer.

“That makes a world of difference,” echoes Merchtem. “We now have direct contact with Trimax. This gives us access to all the technical information and documentation. That ensures faster service, direct support and more competitive prices for our customers. So we can not only inform our customers better, but also offer more value with every Trimax mower.”

Mowers at the highest level

Trimax mowers are known for their exceptional cut quality. The blades rotate at high speed and ensure an even cut. Essential for those who want a perfect lawn, such as on golf courses or football pitches. The range includes compact models for smaller tractors to wide wing mowers for airports or city parks.

During the Oudenaarde Working Days - which took place at the end of September 2025 - Firma Thomas demonstrated the Trimax Snake, a paragon of precision and innovation. This trailed mower with three floating decks effortlessly follows the contours of the terrain and delivers a cut comparable to that of a cylinder machine. Thanks to maintenance-free bearings and automatic belt tensioners, it requires hardly any daily maintenance. This is a great asset for professional users.

Trimax models in the spotlight

The Trimax range includes many other versatile lawnmowers, such as:

Trimax Striker

Compact, light and safe: the Trimax Striker is ideal for sports fields, schools and public green spaces. With a cutting width of 1.46 to 1.94 metres and a cutting height of 10 to 100 millimetres, this mower delivers professional results even with a compact tractor from 25 hp. The enclosed cutting chamber with downward discharge meets the strictest safety standards, while the full width rollers provide that classic stripe effect in the grass.

Trimax ProCut S5

The fifth generation of the ProCut range is a real powerhouse. It is all about simplicity and durability: automatic belt tensioners, sealed spindles and the Titan Roller Bearing system make daily lubrication unnecessary. With a working width of up to 2.89 metres and power from 35 hp, this mower is perfect for parks and sports complexes where quality and continuity are paramount.

Trimax Pegasus S5

For the very largest areas, there is the Pegasus - the flagship of Trimax with a working width of up to 7.23 metres. This wing mower combines efficiency with comfort thanks to a Flexiride suspension and maintenance-free components. Ideal for airports, race tracks or large public areas where performance and reliability are crucial.

Inspiring collaboration

Trimax and Firma Thomas share the same philosophy: garden machinery should make work easier, not more complicated. Each mower is designed in close cooperation with users and extensively tested. Whether it is a compact Striker, a versatile ProCut or an impressive Pegasus: every Trimax mower offers the same DNA of precision, durability and ease of maintenance. Thanks to the close cooperation with Trimax, Firma Thomas can now offer this quality to its customers even more smoothly.
