/in , /by

STIHL introduces new SGA 30 battery-powered sprayer: STIHL has expanded its sprayer offering with the launch of the SGA 30, a sprayer designed to combine operator comfort with consistently precise liquid application. Purpose-built for groundskeepers, landscapers and gardeners, the new model eliminates the need for manual pumping, ensuring steady pressure delivery that makes light work of spraying tasks.

Delivering a working pressure of 1.5 to 2.5 bars, the SGA 30 uses the STIHL AS System battery and features a 5-litre tank capacity, whilst enabling users to tailor output depending on the application, whether applying fertilisers across lawns or pesticides to specific plants. This adjustability helps to ensure effective coverage while cutting down on unnecessary product use.

Practical features are built in to make everyday use easier. The adjustable nozzle provides the flexibility to alternate between fine misting and direct spot treatments, while the telescopic lance ensures operators can reach awkward or elevated areas with minimal effort. For further convenience, the sprayer shuts off automatically when the tank is empty or inactive, conserving energy and supporting longer battery life.

Ease of use is at the heart of the SGA 30’s design, with straightforward pressure controls, an intuitive ON/OFF switch and a clear battery charge indicator. Weighing just 2.1 kg without the battery, and 7.1 kg when filled with liquid and battery in place, design remains lightweight, with a carry strap and handle , to keep users working efficiently and comfortably for longer periods.

EGO introduces top-handled chainsaw

/in , , /by

EGO introduces top-handled chainsaw: EGO Power+, a leading battery-powered outdoor power equipment specialist, has expanded its range for arborists and forestry professionals with the addition of a top-handled, high-performance professional chainsaw.

Boasting a lightweight design, the 30cm CS1200E chainsaw is the ideal tool for tree-care specialists working off the ground. Equipped with a 20m/s chain speed, this top-handled chainsaw has a thin chain, which is ideal for the fine cutting of trees and crucially, reduces the risk of disease spreading through trees as the finer cut reduces the likelihood for fungus to grow in the grooves, left by the cut.

Joerg Bauerle, Product Manager at EGO, shares: “Arborists were front of mind when we were designing this chainsaw. Small, lightweight, and well-balanced, we have responded to requests from our tree surgeon customers, for a chainsaw that is specifically designed for working high up in the trees.”

The chainsaw easily cuts through branches and logs whilst providing stability, allowing professionals to be more controlled in a volatile environment. This saw is fitted with a chain brake system to protect from a potential kickback, providing extra safety for the tool operator.

Fitted with an oil level and translucent window to help users monitor the tool, the CS1200E automatically lubricates the chain and maintains the health and lifespan of the tool, preserving it from damage. The oil tank has a 150ml capacity, which will need topping up depending on the frequency of use.

Joerg continues: “Our latest top-handled chainsaw focuses on balance, ensuring that arborists can go about their work comfortably for longer periods. At EGO, our tools are innovatively designed to deliver power, performance, and competitive run times.”

Ideal for bar lengths of 30cm, the CS1200E has 64 chain drive links for fast and efficient cutting. This tool is suited for forestry work at height and is fitted with metal bumper spikes for fast and efficient cutting. The saw also features a variable speed control that allows for a tailored and controlled experience, instead of users having to switch between fixed settings.

The CS1200E 30cm Chainsaw retails at £259.

/in , /by

Trilo introduces new innovative hydraulic arm: Leading manufacturer of professional vacuum collection systems, Trilo, has announced the addition of a new, innovative hydraulic arm – designed to make the operation of the suction hose faster, easier and safer than ever before.

The hydraulic arm allows the suction hose to be extended or retracted, lifted or lowered, directly from a joystick in the tractor cab, enabling a single operator to handle the task of leaf or debris clearance with ease. The innovation not only reduces manual strain, but helps to enhance efficiency and productivity in the field.

Trilo’s unique suction hose is 300mm in diameter and is traditionally mounted on the right hand side of the S-Line and M-Line range of vacuum collectors. Intelligently designed, the suction hose can now be hydraulically extended to 900mm for suction of material from ditches, roadsides and other hard to reach locations. When the job is complete, the hose can be conveniently retracted for work close to the vehicle or for safe transport.

“This development puts productivity and operator comfort front and centre of every task” explains Trilo’s Jeremy Vincent. “The Trilo range is renowned for its versatility and, with the Multi Purpose models in particular, combining the new hydraulic arm with the interchangeable shaft system brings unparalleled multifunctionality to a machine in its class.”

“Now available to customers in the UK, this new addition represents another step in Trilo’s ongoing commitment to delivering smart, user-friendly solutions to green space management.”

To protect the battery when in use, the tool has an integrated cover ensuring moisture cannot reach it.
