Delivering up to 8hrs runtime on a 6.0Ah battery, the clever Auto-Stop feature helps to minimise any unnecessary drain on the battery by shutting down the power when the handle isn’t engaged.

The machine has been designed with user comfort in mind and includes a shoulder harness and an ergonomically optimised tank body that sits comfortably at the user’s hip. Furthermore, the handle features a lock-on function to hold the trigger in place – ideal for larger jobs where continuous spraying is required.

DTW302Z IMPACT WRENCH

The new 18V LXT DTW302 Brushless Impact Wrench features a fresh design on its previous counterparts. Compact, with an overall length of 138mm and 3/8-inch square driving shank, the DTW302 brushless motor provides high power with a fastening torque of up to 300Nm and maximum nut busting torque of 500Nm.

Featuring a variable speed trigger, the DTW302Z provides the user with more control, with 4-stage impact selection, enabling the user to set the appropriate torque for the application at hand. For greater control and convenience, the tool also features Forward / Reverse function, with 6 modes for customised applications.

DMP181Z INFLATOR

For quick and easy inflation of automotive and machinery tyres, sporting equipment and more, the new 18V DMP181Z Inflator is powered by Makita’s LXT battery technology to deliver up to 161psi and a rapid air discharge volume of 22L/min.

The tool features a digital pressure gauge, a LED light for convenient use at night and an Auto-Stop function which automatically shuts down the tool when the desired pressure is reached. The DMP181Z also offers manual decompression functionality, allowing air to be released in case of over inflation.

Speaking on the new products, Kevin Brannigan, Marketing Manager at Makita UK said: “With over 275 cordless solutions within our LXT platform, we are delighted to further expand the possibilities for professionals with these new additions. Designed with purpose-built motors, innovative battery technology and enhanced communications, all our cordless tools work together to deliver reliable power, speed and run times that provide the trade with a cordless solution for every type of application.”

New GreenMech website: Leading woodchipper manufacturer GreenMech have recently launched their revamped website. The site has been designed with user experience at the forefront, offering straightforward navigation of the chipper range as well as providing comprehensive, technical guides on the products and services GreenMech offer along with general industry advice.

The website has a clean, uncluttered design, improved functionality and streamlined content ensuring that the salient points for each machine are easy to find – whether you are an experienced chipper operator or you’re looking for your first machine. A first in the market, the site features a brand-new ‘product filter’ allowing visitors to specify their requirements by type, preferred fuel, capacity and/or towing limits to narrow the range down to a number of options that fit the bill.

Along with the new product search features, GreenMech have added more downloadable content – product datasheets, operator manuals and servicing & technical videos which can be easily viewed and saved. It also features ‘the voice of the customer’, providing visitors with first-hand thoughts and feedback on machines from across the range. For their dealers, they have improved the breadth and depth of resources available which will make the support and marketing of the products easier than ever before.

Commenting on the new site GreenMech Digital Design & Marketing Coordinator Carl Haffield said, “The previous website served its purpose but lacked some important content. In line with our continued business developments, it was the right time to develop our online presence. The new site is fully mobile/tablet friendly and contains innovative features to suit the modern arborist. We’re confident this new site will allow our visitors to have a very informative experience and will grow with us as we continue to expand our market offering.”

Honda UK launches new lawnmowers

/in , /by

Honda UK launches new lawnmowers: Honda UK has added two new lawnmowers to its line-up, offering class-leading cutting and collecting performance and superb ease of use.

The HRN536 VK, and HRN536 VY both have a newly designed 53cm cutter deck. Power is provided from Honda’s proven GCVx170 engine. The two new models feature multiple enhancements over previous HRG536 models, making them even more versatile and user-friendly.

Variable speed

Smart Drive® provides on-the-move travel speed adjustment to suit the user and conditions. Movement and speed are controlled by the handlebar-mounted Smart Drive® lever, and the new models have a revised lever design which reduces thumb slippage for greater ease of use.

A new two-way ratchet in the transmission means the rear wheels can turn freely in either direction when the drive control is released, reducing the effort needed to move the mower forwards and backwards while negotiating obstacles and tight spaces.

Flexible operation

The cutter decks come with an enhanced Versamow™ selector. Versamow™ allows users to quickly switch between mulching and collecting grass, and the latest deck-mounted control is simple and easy to operate. MicroCut twin blades optimise cutting performance, and the new cutter housing design optimises airflow for best-in-class mulching and collection. There is a larger 70-litre grass bag, and the powerful filling action makes the most of the capacity even in challenging conditions.

Both models also offer a seven-stage cutting height selection. This is easily adjusted and set using two levers – one for the front axle and the other for the rear, and these are conveniently accessed from the same side.

User friendly

Other design features which make it easier to look after and use the new mowers include a large diameter petrol filler cap for convenient refuelling with reduced risk of spillage, and new quick-release clamps allow the handlebars to fold quickly and easily for transport and storage.

Extra convenience

The HRN536 VY has a similar specification to the HRN536 VK, but it also has a Roto-Stop® blade brake clutch for extra convenience. Roto-Stop® allows the user to start and stop the blade using a handlebar-mounted control while the engine is running. Advantages include reduced effort for starting – especially in long grass as the blades are not turning, and it also allows the engine to remain running while the grass bag is safely emptied so that there is no need to restart the engine each time. Roto-Stop® also enables travel between cutting areas using the engine to power the wheels while the blades remain stationary.

The new HRN536 VK and HRN536 VY are suitable for larger lawns including those with slopes and variable terrain. The attractive but functional styling is easy to look after and keep smart.
