Why Kress Commercial is blowing away the competition
-
The dawn chorus of petrol-powered blowers has long been the soundtrack of professional landscaping. But now, a quiet revolution is underway, led by Kress Commercial's new line of battery-powered blowers that are redefining industry expectations.
The new models address the issues of power and runtime that have long plagued battery-powered blowers. The Kress Commercial range sets new standards by delivering performance on par with its petrol-powered counterparts. With impressive air volume and velocity, these blowers can efficiently handle tasks from wet leaves to stubborn debris. Their quiet operation allows crews to begin early in noise-restricted areas, providing real value for operations looking to maximise billable hours.
KC500.9 60V Backpack Leaf Blower
The popular Kress KC500 Backpack Blower is a powerhouse designed for commercial use, offering a remarkable 35N blowing force, rivalling the performance of 65cc petrol-powered blowers without fumes, noise and vibration.
