SALTEX set for most diverse exhibition

September 16, 2024/in News, Press Release/by Admin

SALTEX set for most diverse exhibition: SALTEX, Europe’s premier event for the grounds management professionals and volunteers, is set for its most internationally diverse exhibition to date.

This year’s event will welcome exhibitors and visitors from across the globe, reinforcing its status as the industry’s leading platform for innovation, education and networking.

SALTEX set for most diverse exhibition

Under the theme “Uniting the Industry, Powering Progress,” SALTEX 2024 will see an unprecedented number of international exhibitors, reflecting the event’s global appeal and influence. Exhibitors from 14 countries including Canada, India, Japan, Pakistan, and the United States will showcase their latest advancements at the NEC on 30^th and 31^st October.

Industry leaders such as EGO (Germany), Hilltip (Finland), SGL (Netherlands), EGHOLM (Denmark), and The Aquatrols Company (United States) will be among the 23 international exhibitors displaying their cutting-edge products.

With over 700 square meters of the exhibition space dedicated to international representation, SALTEX is a global stage for the latest developments in grounds care. Additionally, visitors from countries such as Sri Lanka, Nigeria, Nepal, and Iceland have already registered, further increasing the event’s global reach.

Cathy Kropff, Cofounder of American-based Bulldog Field Equipment who have over 45 years of experience in sports field management, said: “We are thrilled to make our European debut at SALTEX 2024 and connect with fellow sports field and grounds professionals. As a small family-owned business specialising in durable sports field equipment, we look forward to showcasing our products and forging new partnerships to enhance sports field maintenance.”

Sarah Hunter, Head of Events at the Grounds Management Association said: “It’s fantastic to see such a vast range of international representation at this year’s exhibition. Every year, we see more and more professionals from around the world coming together to share ideas and learn from each other. This sense of unity is what makes SALTEX so special – it’s not just about showing the latest advancements, but also about growing meaningful connections within the industry.”

Trent Guyer, VP of Marketing at award-winning Grasshopper Mowers, said: “I look forward each year to SALTEX on my calendar because it’s my opportunity to connect with prospects, network with colleagues and catch up with friends. Since we’re based in the U.S., these opportunities to gather everyone in one room are few, thus so important.”

With more international exhibitors and visitors than ever before, SALTEX 2024 promises to be a landmark event for the industry, bringing together professionals from all corners of the globe.

EGO powers up with new professional chainsaw

September 16, 2024/in News, Press Release/by Admin

EGO powers up with new professional chainsaw: Leading battery-powered outdoor power equipment specialist, EGO Power Plus, has added a high-performance professional chainsaw to its range for forestry and garden professionals.

The CSX5000 is the first in a new generation of rear-handle chainsaws designed for demanding work. With a 30m/s chain speed, it provides comparable performance to established petrol saws; but brings all the benefits of battery power.

EGO powers up with new professional chainsaw

Chris Buck, Product Manager at EGO, said: “The most demanding ground saw applications require precision, power, and good ergonomics. The CSX5000 delivers all three in a saw that matches or exceeds the performance of petrol saws.”

Ideal for bar lengths of 40cm – 50cm, the CSX5000 has a 50cm full chisel chain for fast and efficient cutting and metal bumper spikes for extra stability when cross-cutting. Perfect for light forestry work, it copes comfortably with felling and cross-cutting tasks. An integrated felling line enhances safety by ensuring the user can see in which direction the tree or branches will fall.

Weight distribution is integral to the saw’s performance and safety, so EGO’s product development team have ensured the CSX5000 has a centralised battery position to provide optimal tool balance. The handle positions also ensure comfort when both cross-cutting and felling.

The saw also features a new display screen that enables the user to quickly check all the key parameters of the saw, such as oil level, battery capacity and set speed. The operator can use the LCD control panel to change the chain speed down to 25 or 20m per second and control the oil rate to ensure the most efficient cutting possible. In addition, there is a translucent oil tank for easy level viewing and a flat filling position to minimise the risk of spills.

“The CSX5000 is a truly powerful and robust chainsaw that is specifically designed for forestry and garden professionals as well as landscapers and grounds care specialists,” added Chris. “With zero emissions as well as far lower operating overheads and maintenance costs, it offers a great return on investment.”

The CSX5000 is part of the new PRO X series of hard-wearing and powerful tools for professionals, which also includes a lawn mower, hedge trimmers, brush cutters, and grass trimmers.
