Your business is changing. Rapidly.
With rising eco-demands and noise limits, the shift away from petrol-powered equipment is accelerating. Here’s the solution you’ve been waiting for.
A matter of time
States and cities are implementing regulations to phase out petrol-powered OPE, among others:
Paris, France: started in 2021, full implementation by 2025nToronto, Canada: from 2022nVancouver, Canada: from 2022nOslo, Norway: started in 2022nCalifornia, USA: starting in 2024, full implementation by 2028nNew York City, USA: by 2025nLondon, UK: starting in 2025
Similar measures are under consideration in several other cities and countries.

u003cpu003eAs you aware, exposure to prolonged or excessive vibration can lead to a condition known as hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS).u003c/pu003e
Vibration
In combustion engines, high-pressure explosions move the piston in reciprocating motion, generating explosive vibrations. Conversely, electric motors simply spin, bringing vibration virtually to zero. Extended use of outdoor petrol-powered equipment can lead to an occupational disease known as hand-arm vibration syndrome (HAVS). Consequences of HAVS include vascular disorders, nerve damage, musculoskeletal disorders, reduced grip strength and compromised dexterity. The initial symptoms are mild and easily overlooked, so that the full consequences may not be realized until the condition has progressed to a more severe and permanent stage. Regulations are in place to limit workers’ daily exposure to vibration.

u003cpu003eSmall engines are big polluters. A petrol lawnmower emits as much pollution as 11 late model automobiles.u003c/pu003e
Pollution
Toxic pollutants emitted by small engines have a negative impact on human health: Hydrocarbons (HC): respiratory, cardiovascular and central nervous system problems. Carbon monoxide (COL): headache, dizziness, nausea, and even death in high concentrations. Nitrogen dioxide (NO2): respiratory conditions, risk of cancer. Particulate matter (PM): respiratory and cardiovascular conditions; has been linked to premature death. Non-methane volatile organic compounds (NMVOC): eyes irritation and respiratory conditions. Sulfur dioxide (SO2): lung function impairment, respiratory infections, cardiovascular effects. Ammonia (NH3): respiratory distress, eye irritation and throat irritation.

u003cpu003eProlonged exposure to high levels of noise has consequences on both physical and mental health.u003c/pu003e
Noise
The potential effects of prolonged exposure to loud noise are: hearing damage, tinnitus, stress, sleep disturbance, communication difficulties, and reduced productivity. Loss of concentration due to loud noise can have serious consequences for workers using chainsaws and other potentially dangerous equipment.
Concerned about power?u003cbr/u003eThink huge.
The output power of Kress Commercial tools is comparable, if not superior, to that of petrol engines. Even better, their instant torque provides a thrilling new working experience.
Boost your performance
Ready for take-off?
So far, limited power has discouraged commercial landscapers from switching to battery-powered OPE. This is because conventional batteries are unable to deliver high discharge current. And if they could, they would not last long. With the Kress 8-minute CyberSystem technology, batteries are now able to supply all the current that’s needed to unleash unprecedented power, whilst extending their service life to a new level. Even better, electric motors deliver instant torque from zero RPM on, which makes them way more efficient and less prone to bogging down. In contrast, petrol-powered engines need to rev up to some 3,500 RPM before achieving maximum torque. As a consequence, when the engine is slowed down by a heavy load, the torque drops dramatically.
