Makita UK will be returning to the BALI Zone at SALTEX
this year which takes place at the NEC in Birmingham, 31 October – 1 November
2018, on stand K190d, Hall 6.
The BALI Zone features and promotes leading BALI
registered affiliate and contractor members. Also confirmed for this year
are Boningale Nurseries, Green-tech, British Sugar TOPSOIL, EverEdge and YMCA
Training.
The Makita UK stand will showcase the ever-growing
garden machinery range suitable for professional landscaping contractors,
groundsmen and forestry workers.
“We are really looking forward to returning to the
BALI Zone at this year’s SALTEX and to be teaming up with other leading names
in the landscaping industry,” says Mark Earles, Business Development Manager,
Makita UK. “There will be a focus on our expanding cordless range but
visitors will be able to learn about the entire collection including our petrol
and electric models.”
The 18V battery
platform makes it economically viable for the tool owner as there is the option
to purchase the ‘body only’ version for those who already own batteries for
their other Makita power tools. This battery platform has set an
industry benchmark but still continues to expand with innovations such as the
twin-18V technology which can power a 36V motor.
Using battery powered grounds care machines means that exhaust emissions are zero – petrol
engine exhaust fumes are eliminated and the risk of ground contamination from
spilt petrol and oil is removed altogether.
Many Makita
grounds-care machines offer a considerable reduction in vibration and can be
used all day without harm to the operator.
Makita’s battery
powered tools are significantly quieter than petrol machines whilst still
delivering a professional performance. This quiet approach means teams can work
around parks, schools, hospitals and cemeteries without causing nuisance and
annoyance.
