Makita’s hottest new product: Leading tool manufacturer Makita has launched its eagerly anticipated cordless microwave oven. Driven by the company’s powerful 40VMax XGT battery, the new MW001GZ is designed for portability, allowing users to enjoy hot, microwaved meals in minutes, whether on site, on the road, or at leisure.

The 8-litre capacity MW001GZ is powered by one or two 40VMax XGT batteries and is designed to utilise the power sequentially for continuous power when it’s needed.

With two output settings – 500W or 350W, the inner heating area is large enough to fit most microwave containers and provides a continuous heating time of up to 37 minutes (when used with two BL4080F batteries at 500W output).

To withstand tough conditions such as building sites, this compact and durable microwave has been manufactured with a tempered door glass and is dust and water resistant. The appliance also features large carry handles for easy transportation and is also supplied with a carry strap. A USB port is also built-in for charging devices such as mobile phones.

As part of Makita’s XGT battery platform, this exciting product fits in seamlessly with Makita’s expanding XGT power tool collection, enabling users to swap batteries between tasks and switch to the microwave when required.

“As a world-first for Makita, we are thrilled to launch this outstanding new cordless appliance,” said Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita UK. “The new MW001GZ is the perfect jobsite or leisure companion, affording users with a hot, microwaved meal or drink in minutes without the need for sourcing an AC supply or power generators. Thanks to Makita’s powerful XGT battery technology, the microwave delivers great runtimes, so users can heat up food and drinks over a full working day.”

STIHL launches new range of water pumps

/in , /by

STIHL launches new range of water pumps: STIHL has launched its first range of petrol 4-stroke water pumps, specifically designed to meet the demanding needs of agricultural, construction and hire markets.

The new range consists of two models, the WP 300 and WP 600. The WP 600 boasts a robust cast iron impeller, a powerful 4.4 kW engine and 3” hose connections for the delivery of large volumes of water up to 63 m3/h, and comes complete with an integrated suction filter to protect the pump from dirt particles.

With a similar design, its counterpart the WP 300 includes the same features as the WP 600 except for 2” hose connections and a lower 37 m3/h delivery capacity for smaller jobs.

The WP 300 and WP 600 can be fuelled by STIHL’s Moto4Plus, a high quality alkylate fuel specifically designed for small 4-stroke engines. Compared to forecourt fuel, Moto4Plus has a significantly longer shelf life, less harmful emissions and no tank drainage requirement when in storage.

Both pumps offer intuitive technology including low oil protection, meaning the engine switches off when the engine oil level falls below the safe operation threshold. An anti-vibration system also helps to reduces mechanical stress.

Designed with user comfort in mind, the WP 300 and WP 600 offer a sturdy frame for excellent stability and easy transportation, simple controls and toolless access to the air filter for easy maintenance.

All STIHL tools, including both water pumps, are compatible with the STIHL Connected fleet management system. Installing a STIHL Smart Connector allows the runtime to be recorded and sent to the user’s smartphone via Bluetooth for accurate usage and maintenance records.

INFINIApp loaded with new features

/in , /by

INFINIApp loaded with new features: Not content with just being the world’s only professional mower with Bluetooth connectivity, INFINICUT® have recently launched the latest version of their INFINIApp – designed to deliver unparalleled consistency in cut.

Available for Android and iOS devices, among the new features is programmable automatic turn slow-down, reducing the mower to a percentage of walking speed for a more comfortable end of line turn.

The novel approach INFINICUT® have used to wirelessly programme their award-winning range of cylinder and rotary mowers offers several benefits. First and foremost, the app’s main purpose is consistency in cut. An example is that the same desired clip rate can be set on several different mowers and maintained across all machines regardless of the operators preferred walk speed.

Helping with consistency and efficiency, and eliminating the risk of human error, fleet management is another neat feature. Wirelessly connect the whole fleet of mowers to the INFINIApp and simply select one of your pre-loaded set-ups to apply those identical clip-rate, acceleration and re-gen brake settings to every machine.

Together with various UI and function enhancements, the latest version of the INFINIApp has introduced a new automatic turn slow-down feature which has proven extremely popular with everyone who has tested it. At the end of line turn, a sensor automatically detects that the mower is lifted and slows the unit down to a pre-chosen percentage. Each individual operator can choose a slow-down rate that they are comfortable with and, when dropped back to the mow position, the regular mowing speed is engaged.

Not only does the INFINIApp offer new-found precision and simplicity to set-up, programming the mower via a smart device also reduces the componentry required on the mower itself. The INFINIApp eliminates the need for TFT screens, excess buttons or switches that are exposed to the elements, and therefore susceptible to failure due to moisture, wear & tear or accidental damage.

Various levels of access are available and can be tailored dependent on what mower parameters owner’s permit operators to be able to alter. Security is also assured via two-step authentication, meaning only those granted access are able to unlock the app.

The new version of the INFINIApp can be downloaded now from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store.
