The show, which takes place at the Ragley Estate in Warwickshire between 24th – 26th September 2026, is the UK’s largest trade exhibition dedicated to forestry, woodland, and arboriculture.

STIHL ALLPRO Battery System at APF Exhibition

Central to STIHL’s presence at the APF Exhibition will be the launch of its new ALLPRO battery system, engineered to provide increased power output, longer running times, and significantly longer service life, while maintaining the robust durability expected from STIHL products.

The system also introduces ultra-fast charging capabilities. When paired with the new AL 1802 MO charger, batteries can be charged to 80 per cent capacity in just nine minutes, helping to minimise downtime and maximise productivity on-site.

Alongside the new charger, visitors will also be able to see the PS 2000 Portable Power Supply, providing professional users with a complete battery ecosystem designed to keep forestry teams working for longer.

New STIHL chainsaw designs at APF Exhibition 

STIHL will also be showcasing a wide range of new tools at the APF Exhibition, including the petrol-operated MS 300 C-M, the best power-to-weight ratio of a 50 cm³ class chainsaw, engineered to reduce operator fatigue during felling, processing, and delimbing tasks.

In addition, visitors to the stand will be able to view the new MSA 260 C-O. Powered by the new ALLPRO battery system, the chainsaw combines high cutting performance with reduced operator fatigue during thinning and maintenance tasks.

STIHL 2027 chainsaw exclusive at APF Exhibition 

Visitors to the STIHL stand will get the chance to take a first look at its lineup of 2027 battery-powered chainsaw launches. Alongside these future innovations, STIHL will showcase a portfolio of historic chainsaws celebrating its 100-year heritage, as well as its Hexa saw chain cutting system.

STIHL at 100 

STIHL’s appearance at the APF exhibition takes place as the brand celebrates its 100th anniversary. Since 1926, STIHL has defined the global standard for battery and petrol-powered forestry, landscaping, and residential gardening equipment for professional and domestic users.

Find STIHL at APF Exhibition 

The STIHL team will be at Stands 140 – 180 & 610 – 650 throughout the duration of the event for product demonstrations, advice, and guidance on all STIHL machines.

Ideal for contractors and businesses considering the move away from petrol to battery, EGO will showcase the breadth of its 56V battery platform, in which professional-grade equipment, interchangeable batteries, portable charging solutions, and connected fleet management work together to support operators working across a variety of job sites.

Leading the exhibit is EGO’s first PRO X zero-turn ride-on mower, the new ZTX4800E. Its onboard DC-DC charging capabilities and mounting fixtures allow operators to transport other EGO tools and charge batteries on the go, helping to reduce downtime. Visitors can experience the mower’s capabilities first-hand by taking it for a test drive in the outdoor demonstration area.

There, visitors can also see the performance of EGO’s new ARC Lithium MAXTM battery, designed to reduce interruptions on job sites through faster charging, fewer battery changes and improved performance. Helping grounds care teams spend more time getting the job done, the tabless-cell battery will charge from empty to 100% full in only 20 minutes when paired with the PGXTM Power Bank.

David Mortimer, Sales Director UK & Ireland for EGO, said: “Battery power has come a long way, even in the last five years, when it comes to effectively meeting the needs of heavy commercial users. We’re really looking forward to joining FutureScape for the first time this year and showcasing how the switch to EGO tools can benefit professional audiences through the environmental and commercial outcomes that can be achieved as a result.

“With over 100 products in our portfolio, including our dedicated PRO X Series for commercial users, FutureScape provides the perfect platform for professionals looking to move away from petrol to see how EGO can help them make that transition across their business seamlessly.”

Visitors to the EGO stand will also have the chance to enter a competition to win an LMX5300SP PRO X Self-propelled lawn mower.

EGO will be at FutureScape, 13–14 October, on Stand OD30. To learn more, visit: https://egopowerplus.co.uk/
