Makita adds a powerful backpack blower to its range

In the latest expansion of its range of outdoor power equipment, Makita has launched the UB004C 36V Battery Backpack Blower.

Easy and comfortable to use, the new blower delivers outstanding levels of air volume and blowing force and is powered by the Makita PDC1200 or PDC1500 portable power packs to achieve excellent runtimes.

The powerful and versatile UB004C has a variable speed trigger with cruise control and three speed modes to regulate the maximum blowing force, allowing it to be used for a wide range of applications.

In the highest setting it delivers a blowing force of 25 newtons (N) and an air volume of up to 20.9m3 per minute (in boost mode). The UB004C also features a boost mode that provides 28N of blowing force for a limited time.

The new blower has a telescopic nozzle and depending on the user requirements, it can be fitted with three different nozzle ends.

The UB004C is powered by either the Makita PDC1200 or PDC1500 ‘Connect X’ portable power packs. These backpack-mounted power sources feature 33.5Ah and 43.5Ah batteries respectively and can be used with a wide range of Makita’s twin 18V (36V) LXT or 40VMax XGT tools as well as machines like the UB004C, that have a direct connection.

Using the PDC1500, the UB004C has a continuous runtime of up to 200 minutes, which provides ample trigger time for a typical day’s work. For ease of use, there is a clear and simple to read battery-level gauge on the grip.

The backpack configuration of the UB004C means that the weight of the battery and machine is comfortably distributed across the user’s shoulders, back and waist meaning it can be used for longer without fatigue.

The backpack harness has been redesigned from previous similar models to provide a further reduction of stress on the user’s shoulders. It also features an adjustable control grip to suit the user’s size and preferred working posture with 180mm of forward and backward movement and 180º of left to right adjustment.

Mark Earles, Business Development Manager OPE at Makita said: “The UB004C delivers the power and easy control that professionals require. It is ideal for landscape and grounds maintenance contractors as well as in-house facilities maintenance teams, especially those already using the portable power packs with other tools.

“With a performance that easily matches that of the petrol alternatives, the UB004C provides a quieter, safer and more sustainable option for even the most demanding tasks.”
