ATB
Battery skid mount
The battery-powered sibling of the ATW on the same skid platform, zero point-of-use emissions and near-silent running for parks, schools, play areas and enclosed sites.
The machines
Three machines, matched to the way you work.
Every Solas unit runs the same hot foam process. The difference is output, power source and access. The ATW is available now, with the battery ATB and ATR arriving in 2026.
Which machine is right for you?
Start with the work, not the spec sheet.
| Machine | Power | Best suited to | Why |
|---|---|---|---|
ATW Available now | Petrol | Large mixed estates, highways, contractors covering ground all day | Highest sustained output and longest runtime, with a 30 m hose and direct water feed. Handles weed control and Solas Clean on the same asset. |
ATB 2026 | Battery | Parks, schools, play areas, hospitals and enclosed or noise-sensitive sites | Same skid platform as the ATW with zero emissions at the point of use and near-silent running, so it can work while the public is present. |
ATR 2026 | Battery | Town centres, cemeteries, courtyards and access-restricted work | Compact and highly manoeuvrable for tight spaces and single-operator crews where a skid-mount cannot reach. |
Not sure which fits? Tell us the sites you cover and we'll advise honestly, including if a single ATW would do the whole job.

The other half of the system
Solas Foam, plant sugars and oils
Corn and potato starch with coconut oil. Organically approved, completely biodegradable, and the reason the heat stays where you put it. Labels and the MSDS live on the foam page.
Coming 2026
The range expands, battery-powered, purpose-built for sensitive sites.
The ATW Series extends with two battery-powered units for noise-sensitive and access-restricted work, zero emissions at the point of use, quieter operation, and the same dual-function performance.
ATR
Compact battery unit
A smaller, highly manoeuvrable battery unit for confined and access-restricted work, the lightest, most agile way into the range.
