Walk-behind products include utility carts, lawnmowers up to 61 cm (twin blade) and the new Zero Turn ride-on mower.

Featuring ground-breaking technology, the powerful 82V battery system offers market-leading performance, as well as innovative features such as magnesium components, fleet connectivity and ultra-high torque motors to rival petrol performance.

Designed to generate less heat and increase efficiency and battery life, which reduces the risk of sudden interruptions caused by overheated cells and motors, ownership and running costs of tools are significantly lowered.

GTM; 1320-1360 IN

The GTM Professional range of compact and powerful woodchippers is designed to offer a portable option to professionals for chipping branches and crops – perfect for tree care, landscaping, forestry, and garden maintenance.

Efficient, effective, and safe to operate due to their chipping system and unique drum design - a rotor with two Pro double-sharpened blades that rotate along the counter blade at high speed - and ejection through a large discharge chute.

The system pulls branches up to 12 cm thick into the machine via the extra wide input chute, chips them and ejects clean cut wood chips time after time. In contrast to the disposal of pruning waste, chipping saves valuable space and time as well as turning the carbon footprint of a business around through reducing waste.

“The environment and sustainability are at the core of my small business and the GTM woodchipper has been instrumental in helping me deliver a cost-effective service turning a waste product into a vital resource,” says Richard Parkinson owner of
landscaping business Wild Ground.

We'll have more coverage of APF in the coming days, including further exhibitors to look out for. Keep an eye on all of our channels.
