Husqvarna‘s Global Segment Manager Jack Easterly walks through the 500-series professional battery powered tools at the 2024 Equip Exposition. He calls attention to the new C1000x4 charging box available in 2025 for lanscaping, tree-care and more.

Jack Easterly: Hey everyone again, Jack Easterly. Right behind me, I have, we just reviewed the full lineup of gas portfolio for our 500 series professional lineup. This is our 500 series professional battery-powered tools, so everything again, from string trimmers, to edgers, straight and curve shaft, extended, fixed and articulating head trimmers and telescopic. As well as a telescopic pole saw and hand held head trimmer. Battery-powered backpack blower as well, and also a new hand held blower, the 530 IB, coming out soon in Q1 2025. But I also want to call major attention to, I’d say, the biggest pain point in the industry when electrifying is scaling, charging for a landscape customer. So what we have here is roughly, maybe a crew to two crews worth of equipment of a mix of our single batteries and also our backpack batteries, again, for our backpack blowers. Charging at scale, again, is a major pain point. We think we have the best solution for an overnight charging setup out there on the market. But also to call attention to the new C1000x4. This is a new four slot. Transport will charge and carry charging box. So again, this is major operational savings for a customer when they’re going to come out in the morning, versus taking out batteries, grouping them off, transporting the trailer. This box allows the end user to take the charger right from plugging it in and carry it straight to the job site, onto the trailer truck, or wherever they’re going to transport their equipment. So really excited for this, for professional end users, again, landscape and tree care, or any professional customer segment. So be on the lookout for this. This comes out Q4 of this year, so availability kick-off right at 2025. Thank you all.
