Until recently, despite a growing environmental awareness, commercial landscape professionals have been forced to accept high-emission, petrol-powered outdoor equipment as the only economical option that provides them with the performance and runtime required to complete a full day’s work.
Battery-powered equipment simply has not been a viable alternative due to the expense of multiple battery packs, the hassle of overnight charging and the high cost to replace dead battery packs after only a few months of daily re-charging.
Recent innovations have changed all of that: now commercial landscapers can even save money by switching from petrol to battery power, such as the professional range offered by Kress, making the change not only the right thing to do for the environment but a viable business model.
Based on the current high prices of fuel, a typical landscaping business can recoup their investment in battery-powered equipment in a short space of less than three years.
Companies like Kress are offering lawncare professionals the opportunity not only to save the planet, but to save money as well.
But Kress is leading the transition from petrol-powered lawn and garden equipment with the introduction of the industry’s first true game-changing innovation in battery-powered equipment, the Cybersystem revolutionary ultra-fast charger which allows eight-minute charge times and batteries which last 10 times longer than the average lithium battery.
Combined with an unprecedented eight-year commercial warranty which removes the risk, the business case really does stack up.
