Kress is adding chainsaws, designed for the arborist, to its lineup of commercial-grade battery-powered equipment. The new Kress Commercial KC320.9 60V Top-Handle Chainsaw is its first piece of its equipment developed especially with professional arborists in mind.
“The Kress Commercial Top-Handle Chainsaw has the power and precision required by professional arborists,” said Chad Bishop, senior product manager at Kress Commercial. “The new top-handle chainsaw allows arborists the convenience of clean battery power with less vibration than gas.”
The Kress KC320.9 60V Top-Handle Chainsaw boasts 2.4kW of power and a chain speed of 79 feet per second. According to the company, it provides power and efficiency superior to other battery powered chainsaws, has a longer life span than comparable gas powered saws and requires less maintenance. The new product is made for arborists who expect maximum power, precision and flexibility without the hassle, mess or expense of gas. There is an optional 12-, 14- or 16-inch bar length and ergonomic, lightweight design, weighing less than nine pounds with its battery.
Additional features include:
- Inertia chain brake
- Chain spec — .325” lp, .043” gauge
- Optional 12”/14”/16” bar length
- Up to 225 cuts per one Nano battery (number of cuts based on use with a 4×4 piece of hardwood.)
- IPX4 rating
To complement the new top-handle chainsaw, Kress also developed the new Kress Commercial KAC800 60V 240Wh CyberPack Nano. It offers equal power to the standard Kress Commercial 240Wh CyberPack with added flexibility and mobility due to its smaller size. Weighing under four pounds, the CyberPack Nano caters to commercial applications where compactness and lightweight design are essential.
The CyberPack Nano is IPX5-rated for protection against the elements and has an LED battery capacity indicator and Bluetooth integration for smart usage statistics.
The Kress Commercial Top-Handle Chainsaw has a three-year, 750-hour warranty and the CyberPack Nano is guaranteed for four years or 1,200 full charge cycles.
