How Hako helps the LTA maintain a world-class tennis facility

As well as welcoming players from around the globe to Wimbledon for the forthcoming Championships, the Lawn Tennis Association (LTA), the governing body for tennis in Britain since 1879, is responsible for maintaining high standards across its facilities.

At its world-class tennis centre, this includes keeping 12 acrylic courts – six indoor and six outdoor – in excellent condition through regular sweeping and cleaning.

With demanding expectations for presentation, performance and player experience, the LTA needed a reliable cleaning solution that could support consistent results while reducing the burden on staff.

Before working with Hako, the LTA faced the ongoing challenge of maintaining multiple acrylic tennis courts efficiently. Manual cleaning would have required significantly more people resource, making it harder to deliver the same standard of upkeep across the site.

After testing equipment options, the team chose the Hako Scrubmaster B175 R. Its strong performance during trials, excellent build quality and the long-standing reliability of an existing Hako Sweepmaster already on site gave the LTA confidence that it was the right investment.

The LTA says its experience with Hako’s aftersales support has been excellent, with speedy callouts and competent engineers helping to keep operations running smoothly.

Over many years of using Hako equipment, the team reports very few issues and says any problems have been resolved quickly and professionally. Training has also played an important role, with Hako’s support team providing practical guidance on new machines and ensuring staff feel confident using them effectively.

Overall, the Hako machines have helped the LTA save time, reduce manual effort and maintain the quality expected of a leading tennis venue.

According to the LTA Operations Manager, Hako machines outperform other sweepers and scrubbers they have used, offering a higher quality build and better cleaning results.

Combined with dependable service and responsive training support, this has made Hako a trusted partner for the organisation. In the LTA’s words, they are “more than happy” with the all-round sales and service process, an endorsement that reflects both confidence in the equipment and satisfaction with the relationship behind it.
