ECHO takes the stand at this year’s Saltex with the latest range of High Torque brushcutters and the launch of their new range of Lithium Ion battery products. ECHO products are manufactured by the Yamabiko Corporation, one of the leading Japanese manufacturers of professional quality, outdoor power equipment for over sixty years. This heritage is brought to the ECHO range of High Torque brushcutter with a 1:2 gear reduction ratio, delivering up to 50% more torque at the cutting head compared to previous models. What this means is a high torque brushcutter can provide the same cutting performance as a considerably larger machine but with a smaller, lighter engine. That translates into less weight and fatigue for the operator and the potential for high productivity. The ECHO range is exceptionally versatile and an ECHO High Torque brushcutter, fitted with a heavy-duty line or scissor attachment, can tackle a variety of tasks from cutting thick brush to trimming grass in the garden. There is therefore no need to have multiple brushcutters on site.

The Saltex show will also see the official launch of the new ECHO range of Lithium Ion 50v battery products, which includes a Power Blower, Hedge Trimmer and Brushcutter. The 50v Lithium Ion battery products in the range generate greater power for heavy-duty performance, tackling the toughest of jobs while being lightweight and ergonomically designed for operator comfort. The advanced motor control maintains a high performance, with reduced energy consumption, to ensure longer intervals between charging periods; which is exactly what the busy operator needs to get the job done. ECHO only builds to professional standards to equip operators with machines that increase productivity, reduce downtime in maintenance and are hardworking, tough, durable and dependable; features that are fully reflected in the ECHO two-year professional warranty.

ECHO will be exhibiting on stand C090 at the SALTEX exhibition at Birmingham’s NEC from 2nd – 3rd November 2016. Ariens Company Limited distributes the ECHO products across the UK through a network of authorised, ‘bricks and mortar’ dealerships.
