Feel the pulse and power of Makita OPE
A new power is pulsing through OPE – clean, green electricity. If you still rely on petrol outdoor power equipment for your pro landscaping commitments, it’s time to turn away from tradition to enter the era of battery technology.
Why? Because battery power delivers cleaner, more efficient and healthier working far more convenient than
traditional petrol kit.
Leading the charge to an electric future is Makita, a global player founded in 1915 that has revolutionised power equipment by pushing tech boundaries to build and consolidate its position as a manufacturer of portable electric power tools.
Today, Makita continues to provide a full spread of products and services geared to the diverse needs of residential customers and landscapers under its global mission to help create more enriched, sustainable environments.
Its tight focus on cordless power tools and OPE is coupled with high intercompatibility that allows a single battery to run a wealth of different Makita products – very much the requirement that residential customers professional landscapers and councils increasingly demand.
Everywhere, from gardens, parks, business landscapes to sports and amenity settings benefit from the clean, quiet power of cordless technology, whether for light work or demanding projects. More manoeuvrability, higher power, longevity, zero emissions and lower noise are all keynotes of the Makita range.
Since ending the manufacture of petrol tools in 2022, the company has continued to invest in advancing battery powered technology to match the power of their petrol-fuelled predecessors at a time when businesses and consumers are buying into sustainability big time.
More robust, resilient tools and machinery are entering the garden sector as contractors seek professional results without too much stress and strain.
Makita makes among the most powerful battery tools available. The cordless technology and performance of its XGT outdoor power equipment and professional gardening tools and accessories in the company’s range are the right fit for today’s requirements.
XGT batteries power the gardening and landscaping OPE range – the pinnacle of Makita’s garden power tools, built to handle the most demanding jobs – and are interchangeable in more than 100 products across the full UK catalogue.
With 40V(1 battery) or 80Vmax (2 batteries) options, they offer increased power output thanks to brushless motors and rare earth magnets, plus heightened durability from a shock absorbing structure and water and dust resistance.
Battery and tool communicate in real time to adjust to combat heat, overload and over-discharge to deliver up to twice as long sustained power during demanding applications, while multi-surface contacts and dual cooling fans give operators between 28minutes (2.5Ah) and 72 minutes (8.0Ah) charge times.
