The first dedicated vacuum in STIHL’s AP System

November 4, 2024/in News, Press Release/by Admin

The first dedicated vacuum in STIHL’s AP System: Designed for professional landscapers and grounds maintenance teams, the SHA 140 vacuum shredder is the most powerful in the STIHL lineup, offering 15% improved suction power compared to the petrol SH 86. Ideal for the autumn and winter months, the SHA 140 makes light work of collecting and shredding leaves and green material.

The variable speed trigger provides the operator full control to match the power output to the task at hand, whether that’s working around delicate flower beds, or utilising the boost mode to collect damp leaves. The reinforced suction tube can be used to loosen stubborn leaves, ensuring nothing is left behind.

The wide positioning of the rubberised handles ensures comfortable handling and excellent maneuovrability, allowing the user to work quickly with minimal fatigue or arm strain. Perfect balance has also been acheived thanks to the central location of the battery between the handles. Like many battery-powered tools, the SHA 140 is lightweight and quiet in operation, eliminating the requirement for hearing protection.

Featuring an adjustable shoulder strap, the 55l collection bag sits comfortably at the operators side without impairing movement. The robust metal buckle openings are able to withstand the toughest working conditions, while the large opening leads to quick and complete emptying with minimal effort. Ventilation openings can be used to deliver constant suction power, regardless of the fill level or the degree of dust and dirt in the bag.

Easy transport and storage have also been factored into the design, with fast and tool free removal of the catcher bag and suction tube to make dismantling the tool effortless.

With the recommended AP 300 S battery, the SHA 140 has a long working time of up to 60 minutes. For more information on STIHL’s range of AP System tools, please visit www.stihl.co.uk

The FairWays Foundation Concludes 2024 Grant Cycle

November 4, 2024/in News, Press Release/by Admin

The FairWays Foundation Concludes 2024 Grant Cycle: Aquatrols’ commitment to environmental stewardship continues, bringing total donations to over $1.12 million, funding 59 projects globally.

The FairWays Foundation, established by Aquatrols in 2019, has successfully completed its 2024 grant cycle, distributing $119,040 to 11 environmental projects around the globe. With Aquatrols’ ongoing support, the foundation has now donated a remarkable $1,122,819 in total, empowering 59 conservation initiatives across the USA, Canada, UK, Europe, and Africa since inception.

As a stand-alone 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, The FairWays Foundation is dedicated to advancing conservation and environmental stewardship. By providing grants to both small and large-scale projects, the foundation addresses critical environmental challenges and supports educational initiatives worldwide.

The 2024 grant cycle included a diverse range of projects, from the GreenerGolf Network conference to the AquaArborAware project, which focuses on river and forest conservation education in the Anumle community. Other notable projects included eco-pond restoration, heathland regeneration, and various on-course ecology and sustainability initiatives. You can view a list of all this year’s successful projects here.

“The FairWays Foundation is extremely proud of this year’s grant recipients. They represent three continents with an increased focus on public outreach and education. Our total give is now over $800,000 since 2019. We can’t wait to see the finished projects and observe the positive impacts they are having within their communities.” – Greg Lovell, President of The FairWays Foundation and Central East Territory Manager for The Aquatrols Company.

Looking Ahead to 2025

The FairWays Foundation is excited to continue its mission of environmental stewardship with the launch of the 2025 grant cycle, opening in February. The foundation is actively seeking ambassadors to connect with individuals and organizations passionate about conservation but lacking the resources to bring their ideas to life. Those interested in applying for funding or becoming an ambassador can learn more on the foundation’s website.
