Allett At The Mower Shop

March 5, 2018/in Machinery, Press Release/by Tony Hawkins

Allett At The Mower Shop: It’s been almost thirty years since Steve Bartle set up The Mower Shop and over twenty years of which the company has been an Allett Mower dealer.

The dealership based in Northamptonshire is the largest of its kind in the Midlands and is just a hop off the M1 Motorway at Watford Gap. Catering for both the domestic and professional turfcare markets, The Mower Shop has seen the natural progression from selling the old Bosch Suffolk Punch to the superior Allett version for today’s consumer. The bigger Allett machines are sold to customers with large houses and gardens, and private estates. The business has grown vastly over the years, now with ten staff, but prides itself on still providing a personal service.

On the sports side, sales of Allett machines are made for use on bowling greens, cricket and football pitches, complementing the professional services The Mower Shop offers for larger mowers.

“We have enjoyed a long and fruitful relationship with Allett,” says Steve, “they are nice people to deal with and their interest doesn’t stop with us. They are keen to know where a mower is going, who the customer is and how they can help ensure the customer experience with their mowers is the best. We’re also keen on the development of battery power and at the moment Allett are the only ones producing cylinder mowers that are battery powered, with their Liberty range.”

Powered by Lithium Ion batteries the Allett Liberty mowers offer the convenience of cordless mowing, low noise and a greener alternative for mowing the lawn. There are currently three Allett battery mowers, two of which are self-propelled, with cutting widths of 12”, 14”, and 17”. The Liberty 43 takes ALL the cartridges in the Allett range for additional lawncare tasks, making it the most popular in the battery powered range. A fully charged battery allows for up to 600m2 of lawn to be mowed or up to 40 minutes mowing for just a few pennies per charge.

Thanet Council Invest In Electric

March 5, 2018/in Machinery, Press Release/by External Source

The council has purchased six new mowers – 2 commercial ride-on mowers, 2 walk behind mowers and two commercial stand-on mowers to be used equally across the two sites.

Cllr Fairbrass, Deputy Leader of Thanet District Council said:

“Electric mowers, which last for 7 hours of constant work, are vastly preferable to diesel models because they generate no carbon monoxide emissions and are low noise. The mowers don’t just offer public health and environmental benefits, they also reduce risk to our staff. What’s more, they enjoy low running and maintenance costs which is part of the council’s ongoing efficiency drive.”

The key benefits include:

Improved health and safety for staff:
Significantly lower hand arm and whole body vibration levels than traditional diesel mowers
Significantly lower noise (far below the safe recommended DB rating for exposure to noise) which means no need for ear defenders
All day mowing with horsepower exceeding most commercial diesel mowers
Carbon neutral as zero emissions and exhaust fumes which emit carcinogenic fumes
Lower operating costs -costing only 6p an hour to charge up overnight
Low maintenance costs as no belts, filters, hydraulics, cables or engine
Minimal background disruption for nearby homes, businesses and schools
Quiet enough for use at crematoriums and cemeteries
