Allett
powers into the new age of electric mowers with the C34 Evolution, large area,
walk behind cylinder mower.
The
latest Lithium Ion system battery technology in the C34 Evolution drives the
future of mowing systems for sports stadiums, training grounds and prestige
lawns, without compromise and with all the attributes of the Allett heritage
The
battery system will power the 86cm mower, without a reducing performance, for
over six thousand square metres (1.5 acres) per charge and changing batteries
takes less than thirty seconds.
While the
battery drive and chassis design are brand new, the C34 Evolution is fully
compatible with Allett’s turf maintenance system. There’s plenty of power to
drive interchangeable cartridges to scarify, rake, aerate, brush and verti-cut
and it takes less than one hour to recharge batteries.
Electric
power for the professional brings a whole range of benefits. Primarily there’s
no noise, no emissions at the point of use, less maintenance and easier
controls. Couple this with no fuel management and storage requirements, no pull
start and a lower lifetime cost of ownership and it’s easy to see why the
Allett C34 Evolution has its place in groundcare, turf management and sports
stadiums; particularly when they are enclosed. Hand Arm Vibration (HAV) is also
much reduced, allowing longer operating times.
There is
variable speed control and touch button control to give half speed reduction
for turning and manoeuvring. Built-in back-lapping gives the ability to keep
blades sharp for cleaner cutting and quiet operation.
Strong
striping and an impeccable cut are hallmarks of all Allett mowers and the C34
Evolution can be relied upon to deliver the same. Extensive user tests produced
exceptional results and any concerns about battery power and their life were
swept away. Customers of traditional engine driven products were surprised at
how powerful the electric C34 really is, and without compromise compared with
petrol. Four convenient batteries clip out of the machine to be separately
charged.
The mower
will run with 1, 2, 3 or 4 batteries if required at full performance, but
proportionately reduced running time. This and the fact the batteries can be
recharged in the duration of a lunch break is enough to tell you the mower
won’t run out of charge before the work is done.
The next
consideration then is cost. Using Lithium Ion technology in the C34 Evolution,
with the latest brushless motors and controllers, gives extended discharge
times. The cost of a complete charge is only 0.40p and maintenance is kept at a
minimum. The bonus is the batteries from this mower can also be used to power
other equipment such as brushcutters, chainsaws, blowers and long-reach
hedgecutters.
