/in , /by

STIHL’s most powerful battery-powered cut-off machine: STIHL has unveiled its most powerful battery-powered cut-off machine to date. The TSA 500, with 16”/350mm cutting wheel, is the latest addition to STIHL’s AP System range. It offers a power output of 4.2kW and provides an equivalent cutting performance to the petrol-powered TS 500i, with 3.9kW mechanical performance. 

To deliver this performance, it requires two AP 500 S batteries, powering a 72-volt system. Featuring an adjustable magnesium guard, the tool is ideal for construction, landscaping, and rescue service professionals.

Built for optimised handling for tougher cutting tasks, the TSA 500 provides smooth operation and low vibration, allowing for precise guidance of the tool. With its 350mm cutting disc, the machine allows for accurate and ergonomic cutting of a range of materials, including stone, structural steel, metal and composite materials, to depths of 125mm.

The new machine boasts an electronic control panel and a simple control system. The TSA 500’s STIHL Power Boost technology ensures optimal performance and consistent cutting power throughout its runtime, comparable to that of petrol alternatives. The tool also provides consistent power for 20-40 minutes, depending on the material being cut, when used with two AP 500 S batteries. Being battery operated, the TSA 500 is particularly suited to indoor cutting tasks or situations where the simplicity of a battery machine excels.

In addition, its run-out break, with recuperation function, feeds the energy generated during braking, back into its batteries, for maximum efficiency and productivity. This also means the cutting wheel comes to a stop in less than 4 seconds after use.

What’s more, for optimum tool performance and longevity, the TSA 500’s newly developed magnetic filter protects the machine from the particles generated during metal cutting operation.

For ease of use, users can select one of three power modes according to task via its digital controls, with a modern display, which also provides information on the tool’s battery charge level. With its built-in connected function, the tool can also integrate seamlessly into the STIHL Connected digital fleet management system, which delivers up-to-date information on usage and maintenance status, reducing downtime.

Designed for both indoor and outdoor use, the TSA 500 is IPX 4-rated, making it safe to use in wet conditions.

The most powerful backpack blower

/in , /by

The most powerful backpack blower: EGO Power+, a leading specialist of battery-powered outdoor power equipment, has introduced a new Backpack Blower to its PRO X series of durable tools for heavy-duty professional users.

Harnessing the power of two EGO 56V ARC LithiumTM batteries with PeakPowerTM technology, the LBPX1100 is the most powerful battery-powered backpack blower on the market today, delivering an impressive 36N of blowing force.

Built for professionals, the variable speed trigger with lock allows the user to stay in control as the blower handles even the most demanding clear-ups. And with low noise levels and an IPX5 rating, it can be used at any time of day, in all weather conditions.

As part of the PRO X series, the blower is compatible with EGO’s next-generation battery charging solution to ensure that this robust product always has the power it needs to work throughout the day.

Neil McGuinness, Product Manager for EGO, said: “We have developed the LBPX1100 to answer our customer’s requests for a backpack blower that can deliver even more power than our current offering. At EGO, we go full throttle when it comes to power and performance, which is why our response was to create a trailblazing backpack blower that provides the highest power output of any battery-powered blower on the market.

“Unmatched power and performance, however, means we’ve had to put a lot of focus on the ergonomics of the product. With a blower that can work all day, we needed to make sure that it is comfortable to work with for long hours.”

Designed ergonomically, the premium padded harness allows for greater comfort, as do the adjustable handles which can pivot up and down, as well as extend or retract in length. Velcro straps have also been added for easy positioning, while the two batteries slot on either side of the backpack to ensure that the tool is centrally balanced on the user’s back.

Powerful LED lights are available for use in low-lit environments while an LCD display shows real-time monitoring, operating status, and battery fuel gauge.

The LBPX1100 Backpack Blower retails at £599.

STIHL launches powerful and versatile battery brushcutter: STIHL has unveiled its latest addition to the AP System range, the FSA 110 R battery-powered brushcutter, offering professional users a powerful yet lightweight solution for maintaining green spaces, all with the added benefit of quiet, low-vibration performance.

Engineered with landscapers, groundskeepers and facilities maintenance teams in mind, the FSA 110 R combines exceptional cutting performance with impressive ease of use and ergonomic design, making it ideal for tackling everything from grass trimming to tougher clearing tasks, even in noise-sensitive areas.

At the heart of the tool is a high-efficiency EC motor that delivers consistent power across two speed settings. ECO mode is designed for lighter work such as edging and clean-up tasks, helping to extend battery run time, while the higher speed setting delivers maximum cutting performance for tougher tasks. Users can also fine-tune the speed within each mode for maximum control and energy efficiency.

Supplied with the STIHL AutoCut C 12-2 mowing head, the FSA 110 R makes line changes quicker and more intuitive thanks to the Advanced EasySpool system. The new mowing line can be inserted from one side and wound with a simple twist of the wear-free rotary knob with no need to dismantle the head.

Additionally, STIHL’s Rapid Click quick-change system allows operators to swap between mowing heads, such as the optional PolyCut 12-2 blade head, at the push of a button, making it faster to adapt to changing conditions on site.

Weighing just 3.6 kg (without battery), the brushcutter features a soft-grip, tool-free adjustable loop handle for a secure hold and easy customisation to suit different user heights. An integrated anti-vibration system further reduces strain on the arms and hands during extended use, ideal for professional applications where productivity and comfort are key.

Power comes from STIHL’s 36 V AP battery system, designed for professional landscaping and maintenance work. STIHL recommends pairing the tool with the AP 200 S battery, which delivers up to 60 minutes of run time with a nylon mowing line and up to 130 minutes with the PolyCut head, while also providing excellent tool balance when inserted into the housing.

Thanks to IPX4-rated splash protection, the FSA 110 R is suitable for use in wet conditions, while its low operating noise makes it compliant for work in residential, urban or public spaces where noise restrictions apply.

STIHL’s most powerful battery-powered hedge trimmers

/in , , /by

STIHL’s most powerful battery-powered hedge trimmers: Designed for professional landscapers, the HSA 140 R and HSA 140 T are the most powerful battery-powered hedge trimmers in the STIHL AP System, comparable in performance to the popular petrol HS 82.

Alongside its impressive performance, the HSA 140 also offers high levels of operator comfort. The new hedge trimmer weighs just 4.3 – 4.6 kg (without battery) and is comfortable to hold, balanced in operation, and features a rotating rear handle that locks into three positions across a 180-degree range, reducing wrist strain when working for extended periods of time on the same side of a hedge.

The HSA 140 is quiet in operation, and thanks to the highly effective anti-vibration system, is suitable for long periods of use too. When cutting hedges with a petrol machine, the fumes can often collect within the hedge, resulting in a poor working environment for the user. Battery-powered machines such as the HSA 140 can eliminate this problem entirely.

Featuring 38mm tooth spacing, the HSA 140 R is best suited to annual pruning or hedge reduction work. Its lower maximum RPM of 3,200 also allows thicker branch material to enter the cutters efficiently. Alternatively, the HSA 140 T has a higher maximum RPM and smaller 30mm tooth spacing, making it better suited to ornamental or fine leaf hedges such as taxus, buxus or privet, where a fine finish is required.

The HSA 140 benefits from a new gearbox design, consisting of a two-step planetary gear. This results in exceptionally high cutting performance and fast cold start-up, as well as improved protection of the internal components thanks to the integrated slip clutch.

To help prevent the blades from jamming, the HSA 140 features an innovative anti-blocking system that reverses the motors rotational direction to unblock the blades, minimising product downtime and enhancing the efficiency of the tool.

The HSA 140 utilises the same friction optimised, double edged blades that feature on the HS 82 professional petrol models, resulting in long lasting sharpness, a consistently clean cut, and ample durability for long cutting seasons.

When used with the recommended AP 200 S battery, the HSA 140 R has a maximum working time of 150 minutes, while the HSA 140 T’s maximum working time is up to 140 minutes.
