Makita has you covered with their LXT cordless garden machinery ..

As we look ahead to the warmer months, professional landscapers will be preparing for the busiest time of year – and having the right equipment to hand will make sure jobs are completed quickly, efficiently and safely.

Makita UK has an extensive range of over 70 LXT cordless garden machinery models that are each designed to deliver the high power you would expect from equivalent petrol engine machines – with the lower noise and vibration levels, reduced maintenance and zero emissions associated with cordless models.

To maximise choice, Makita’s LXT range includes both 18V and Twin 18V (36V) models to suit a wide range of outdoor applications. What’s more, it is easier than ever to switch between tools and tasks as the same LXT batteries can be used across the entire range of LXT garden machinery and general construction models spanning over 270 products in total.

The latest models

Makita recently added the Twin 18V (36V) DUR368L LXT Brushless Linetrimmer and 36V UB001CZ LXT Brushless Blower to its expanding outdoor line-up.

The DUR368L can reach fast cutting speeds of up to 6,500rpm and offers a cutting diameter of 350mm. Thanks to Makita’s Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT), speed and torque levels are automatically adjusted according to the density of weeds, helping to extend battery life by always running the machine at its optimum. The DUR368L also features Makita’s highly responsive Active Feedback Sensing Technology (AFT), that shuts down the tool to protect the user if the rotation speed suddenly slows down. It also includes a reverse switch for easy removal of any tangled grass.

The brushless UB001CZ LXT Blower is powered by Makita’s PDC01 or PDC1200 backpack battery systems (sold separately) and performs at 36V high power for extended run times and outstanding performance similar to a 50cc class engine machine, offering speeds of up to 24,000rpm in boost mode.

What’s next

With the future set to be a cordless one, Makita recently expanded its range of cordless garden machinery with the launch of its first 40VMax XGT models directly suited to high demand, soft-landscaping applications. This includes the UX01G XGT Brushless Split-Shaft power unit and UR003GZ XGT Brushless Linetrimmer, as the first models in the XGT outdoor power equipment range, with an exciting roadmap of further products to follow during 2021.

With the LXT and XGT ranges, professionals have even more choice and can easily find a cordless machine suited to the task at hand.

For those looking to expand their cordless portfolio, Makita is offering the chance to claim free 18V LXT lithium-ion batteries or body only LXT blowers with the purchase of selected 18V and Twin 18V (36V) machines for a limited period.
