The TSK Tarkett Sports Kit is the fastest, most precise sports-floor welding system available—designed for installers who demand machine-perfect seams on cushioned athletic floors.
This kit pairs the Chiquita Automatic Welder with the Sports Turbo Groover, creating the ultimate solution for professional sports-floor installation.
The Sports Turbo Groover: Designed for Cushioned Sports Surfaces
Sports flooring compresses and rebounds under weight, and the Sports Turbo Groover is engineered specifically for that behavior.
Instead of wheels, it uses flat skids integrated into the tool’s body to distribute pressure across a wide surface area—similar to snowshoes or skis. This keeps groove depth consistent, preventing the groover from digging deeper when the floor compresses underneath the installer’s weight.
Wheel-based groovers concentrate pressure into two tiny points, causing fluctuating cut depths as the surface rises and falls. The Sports Turbo Groover avoids this entirely with its wider pressure distribution creating consistent cutting depths.
It glides smoothly through straight runs, curves, custom shapes, and inlays. For sports floors, always use the SKU 18A blade.
The Chiquita: Automatic Speed, Automatic Precision
The Chiquita is the world’s fastest lightweight automatic heat-welding machine, delivering flawless welds at 18 feet per minute. Simply position it over the seam, insert the welding rod, lower the unit, and the Chiquita automatically controls the angle, speed, and pressure.
Its precision drive ensures smooth, uniform travel, while the Universal Turbo Nozzle evenly heats both the flooring surface and welding rod for strong, durable seams every time.
These features make the Chiquita ideal for sports flooring, where cushioned surfaces can rebound or shift slightly underfoot. The Chiquita maintains perfect consistency across long runs, eliminating weak spots, scorching, and manual welding fatigue.
