Makita has developed a 36V cordless multi-tool system for landscapers together with a range of quick-fit attachments, including a newly introduced brush cutter and line trimmer, in addition to the existing cultivator, pole saw, hedge trimmer and lawn edger. The DUX60Z LXT split-shaft motor unit has an effective output of 600W and a
three-speed drive system. It incorporates Makita’s Active Feedback Sensing Technology to shut down the tool if the rotation speed suddenly reduces, or if the blade or line head snags. Also available is the DCU180Z 18V wheelbarrow which can carry 130kg of
blocks on its tubular frame, or a similar amount of turf in a barrow-bin option. Its brushless motor is integrated into the front wheel for maximum traction. Makita will highlight its latest models on its stand at Saltex.
