Dennis Launches Revolutionary Multi Charger Hub

Dennis Launches Revolutionary Multi Charger Hub: Dennis has unveiled its latest advancement in sustainable technology: the Multi Charger Hub.

This new product significantly enhances the efficiency and convenience of charging their acclaimed E-Series battery-powered mowers.

The E-Series, known for its eco-friendly and high-performance battery-powered mowers, has already set a new standard in the industry. With models such as the ES-34R, ES-860, ES-760, ES-30, and ES-36, these mowers offer versatility, reduced carbon emissions, and operational quietness, catering to the growing demand for sustainable solutions.

Now, with the introduction of the Multi Charger Hub, owners of these innovative mowers are poised to experience even greater benefits.

Efficient Charging Solution

The Multi Charger Hub is designed to streamline the charging process for multiple E-Series mowers, offering a host of features tailored to the needs of professional grounds persons:

  • Sequentially Charging: This mobile unit can recharge up to 8 large E-Series machines, ensuring that all mowers are ready for use without the hassle of multiple chargers.
  • Intelligent Charging System: The Hub includes a smart system that shuts down each mower at 100% charge, preventing overcharging and preserving battery life. The display screen provides a clear indication of each mower’s state of charge (SOC) and highlights which machine is currently being charged.
  • Convenient Design: The easily manoeuvrable trolley design allows for convenient positioning in workshops, reducing clutter and optimising workspace efficiency. Individual cable connections prevent unused wires from trailing across the floor, enhancing safety and organisation.
  • Storage Solutions: The Hub features top box storage for all individual charger cables and additional under-cabinet storage for spares or service items, keeping everything neatly organised and within reach.
  • Versatile Charging Options: Capable of charging all connected mowers to a selected level before moving on to 100% SOC, the Hub can charge from low to high or high to low. It also has a default setting that charges all connected mowers to 60% initially, then completes the charge to 100%, ensuring all mowers have sufficient charge for short turnaround times.
  • Manual Override and Display Features: Users can manually skip to the next mower if required, and the display shows all connected mowers’ SOC and indicates which machine is being charged. This feature allows for precise control over the charging process.

The Multi Charger Hub addresses common challenges associated with battery-powered equipment, such as avoiding deep discharge—a condition that can occur if a machine is stored at 0% charge. The Hub’s ability to bring all mowers to a safe charge level prevents this issue, ensuring the longevity and reliability of the batteries.

Technical Specifications

  • Powerful Charging Capability: The 3kW charger can charge an individual machine from 0-100% in less than 2 hours. Overnight, it can charge all 8 machines from 10%-15% to 100%, making it ideal for busy schedules.
  • User-Friendly Interface: The Hub automatically cycles through each connected mower, displaying each mower’s SOC on the screen. The mower’s console also shows the charging status, providing a consistent user experience whether charging individually or via the Hub.

With the launch of the Multi Charger Hub, Dennis continues to lead the way in providing innovative, sustainable solutions for turf maintenance professionals.

The hub at Green-tech’s Irish depot follows the successful model of Green-tech’s Trade Centre in North Yorkshire, which has been an official drop-off hub for the Tubex Collection & Recycling Programme since June 2024.

The programme helps to reduce waste by collecting used tree shelters, which are then washed, shredded, and re-pelletised before being used to manufacture new products. This circular process aligns with Green-tech’s commitment to environmental responsibility and advancing sustainable practices within the landscaping industry.

Richard Gill, Sales Director at Green-tech, commented, “We’re thrilled to expand the Tubex Collection & Recycling Programme into Ireland with the launch of our dedicated recycling hub. As the first facility of its kind in the country, this hub provides an essential service for our Irish customers, providing them with the option to recycle their Tubex shelters. This initiative highlights our continued commitment to sustainability and the circular economy, ensuring that materials are reused and waste is minimised. We’re excited to see more clients participate and help us make a positive impact on the environment.”

The Irish Tubex Recycling Hub is one of 15 national collection points across the UK and Ireland, making it more convenient for customers to drop off their used shelters. Additionally, Green-tech offers collection services for larger quantities, ensuring that no shelter is left behind.
