Husqvarna increases power


Husqvarna UK promoted the benefits that its cordless products can offer hirers and operators. “Non-professional users do not have to mix fuel and oil and they just have to squeeze a trigger to start the tool,” said UK Commercial Landscape & Groundcare Manager, Kevin Ashmore. “For hirers, the handover at the point of hire is simpler,


and maintenance is much more straightforward as there is no engine to service. “Other benefits include lower levels of emissions, noise and vibration. As with other battery


powered items such as mobile phones, the capacity of the batteries is constantly increasing, and it has actually doubled over the past three years.” Cordless products available in the Husqvarna portfolio include hedge trimmers, brush cutters, pole saws and chain saws.

Dominating the Brendon Powerwashers stand was the manufacturer’s 30KLN+ES Bowserwasher, a cold water machine delivering 3000psi (207 bar) at 15 litres per minute, and incorporating a 960-litre water tank for self-contained operation. The company also promoted its


Quietec Bowserwasher which has a super-silent diesel engine producing 70dB(A) at 7m and incorporates an innovative air and water cooling system that does away with the need for a radiator.
