Stihl showcased a wide lineup of new products at the 2024 Equip Expo in Louisville, Ky., designed to improve the landscape industry for professionals and homeowners alike. With innovation in mind, Stihl prioritized improvements in both battery and gas-powered equipment, giving users the choice in performance and power.
“As a leading outdoor power equipment brand, we’ve led the industry for nearly 100 years. Whether it’s our advanced battery tools, the widest range of OPE products or the unmatched support of over 10,000 Stihl dealers nationwide, Stihl remains the trusted choice for customers,” said Chris Keffer, president and CEO of Stihl.
New innovations
Building on the success of last year’s introduction of zero-turn and push mowers, Stihl debuted the AZA 700 Series battery-powered stand-on mowers. Featuring an 24 kWh lithium-iron battery, the AZA 700 Series offers cutting deck widths of 48 inches, 52 inches and 60 inches, with a remarkable run time of up to eight hours on a single charge.
Stihl also expanded their push mower lineup with the addition of five battery models and two gas models, as well as an ever-expanding lineup of professional-grade battery tools — including the new BRA 500 and 600, Stihl’s most powerful blowers yet, rivaling the BR 600 and 700.
“As an industry leader, we take a 360-degree approach to equipping landscapers with the tools and solutions they need to make informed purchasing decisions tailored to their business needs,” Keffer said. “This means going beyond just the products. Stihl offers a comprehensive range of charging solutions tailored to meet the evolving needs of professionals: overnight, on the go and at the jobsite.”
Stihl recently introduced its latest innovation in battery charging solutions, the ProPower Hub, an intelligent charging management solution that can sequentially charge up to 30 batteries overnight using a standard 120V/15A circuit, providing enough power for most crews to operate for a full day.
Fueling dealer success
At this year’s show, Stihl recognized the vital contributions of over 10,000 authorized Stihl dealers and the service they deliver to customers across the U.S.
“This year, we proudly celebrate fifty years of manufacturing in America, and that would not have been possible without he unparalleled service and support from our ever-growing network of Stihl dealers,” said Keffer. “We are dedicated to providing them with the resources and tools they need to grow their businesses, including training, sales support and expanded Ecommerce solutions.”
