Dennis Marks 80 SALTEX Shows with Latest E-Series Mowers

Dennis Mowers will celebrate a unique milestone at SALTEX 2026 as the only company to have exhibited at every edition of the show, returning to the NEC Birmingham on 11–12 November.

Dennis Marks 80 SALTEX Shows with Latest E-Series Mowers

As SALTEX marks its 80th edition, Dennis will combine more than a century of British manufacturing and engineering expertise with its latest developments in battery-powered professional mowing; led by the new ES-34SL lightweight finishing mower.

Part of the Howardson Group, Dennis has built a global reputation for reliable, high-quality professional turfcare machinery, supporting grounds teams from grassroots facilities through to some of the world’s leading sporting venues.

A major focus at SALTEX will be the Dennis E-Series. Developed by building on the success of established Dennis petrol machines, the battery-powered range retains the cut quality, reliability and familiar operating characteristics grounds professionals expect, while adding significant operational benefits.

These include up to 80% lower running costs compared with petrol, lower maintenance and servicing requirements, low noise and vibration, and zero exhaust emissions at the point of use. Long battery run times and rapid charging also help grounds teams confidently incorporate electric machinery into demanding maintenance programmes.

Taking centre stage will be the ES-34SL, Dennis’ latest lightweight battery-powered finishing mower. Developed in response to feedback from turf professionals, it combines greater agility with the precision required for outstanding stadium presentation.

Features include an intermediate grooming brush to stand the grass up ahead of cutting, click height-of-cut adjustment in precise 0.1mm increments from 9–35mm and straightforward bottom blade-to-cylinder adjustment. The ES-34SL can cut up to four pitches on a single charge and fully recharge in approximately two hours.

SALTEX will also give visitors the opportunity to speak directly with the Dennis team about the transition to battery-powered mowing and selecting machinery to suit their individual maintenance requirements.

Visit Dennis Mowers at SALTEX 2026, NEC Birmingham, 11–12 November.
