Recognizing the need for professional landscapers to have a battery-powered line of tools designed for heavy-duty professional use that won't sacrifice the power or performance they're used to with gas products, EGO has launched its new EGO Commercial line of tools along with its PGX Commercial Charging System that scales to the needs of a business.
The new EGO Commercial series tools include:
- Commercial 800 CFM BackQack Blower with Peak Power - LBPX8006-2
- Commercial 17.5" String Trimmer - STX4500
- Commercial 10" TelescoQic Pole Saw - PSX2510
- Commercial Curved Shaft Edger - EDX2000-C
- Commercial Straight Shaft Edger - EDX2000
- Commercial 21" Short Pole Hedge Trimmer - HTX5300-P
- Commercial 21" Extended Pole Hedge Trimmer - HTX5310-P
- Commercial 21" Articulating Pole Hedge Trimmer - HTX5300-PA
- Commercial Bike Handle Brush Cutter - BCX4500
- Commercial 20" Chain Saw - CSXS000
- Commercial 22" Aluminum Deck Lawn Mower with Peak Power - LMX5300SP
EGO Commercial tools are built with commercial-grade durability featuring industrial-strength carbon fiber, IPXS weather resistance and high-performance brushless motors that deliver instant torque for all-day power and maximum uptime.
"Time is money, and uptime is top-of-mind for any landscaping professional," says Tim Baker, director of outdoor power equipment at EGO Commercial. "For professionals transitioning to a battery-powered solution, these tools require minimal maintenance-there's no gas, no oil, no mixing, or filling. There are also no pull cords, spark plugs, or carburetors to service or replace. Landscapers can just click in a battery and get to work.
"EGO Commercial tools are also built completely different from our residential line of tools and don't share a single component," Baker adds. "Our EGO Commercial tools have thicker shafts, fully serviceable gearboxes, and commercial-grade electronics."
All EGO Commercial tools are powered by the same 56V ARC Lithium batteries that power each of the 80+ tools in the EGO POWER+ residential lineup.
EGO Commercial has introduced the PGX Charging System, a flexible charging solution that scales to the needs of each business.
The system is anchored by the PGX Commercial Charging 1600W Hub, which mounts in a building, van or trailer, and runs off any standard 15-amp, 120-volt outlet-no expensive electrical infrastructure upgrades required. The 1600W Hub connects to PGX Commercial Charging 3-Port Docks to charge up to 70 EGO 56V 2.SAh ARC Lithium batteries-or up to 15 kWh-overnight.
EGO Commercial also has off-grid DC-DC charging covered with the PGX Power Bank, which uses a large format 2.2kWh (40Ah) High-Capacity Battery to charge smaller handheld batteries off the grid for use during the workday. Once fully charged from the 1600W Hub, each high capacity battery can recharge more than 30Ah of smaller EGO 56V ARC Lithium batteries in the field through the Power Bank.
"Our batteries charge faster than they deplete, but we knew we couldn't take a one-size-fits-all approach to a charging system because no two businesses are alike, and each has its own energy and runtime needs," says Nick Feld, senior product manager at EGO Commercial. "At the end of a workday, the landscaper will load up the docks with batteries, and when they come back in the morning to start their day again, they'll be fully charged and ready to grab and go."
"Between our hand tools, walk-behind mower, and PGX™ Commercial Charging System, EGO Commercial offers a complete battery-powered solution for landscape professionals," Baker says. "And we have much more on the way."
