Setting the Standard: Pellenc Expands the Airion Range for Professional Amenity Care

/in /by

In the evolving landscape of professional grounds maintenance, the shift toward battery-powered solutions is no longer a trend – it’s a prerequisite.

As local authorities and landscaping contractors face increasing pressure to reduce noise and eliminate emissions, Pellenc continues to lead the charge. The expansion of their blower range, specifically with the Airion Airion Essential, provides a tailored solution for every scale of amenity task, from intensive leaf clearance to precision urban tidying.

The Airion Essential: Versatility Meets Accessibility

While the Backpack model tackles the “heavy lifting,” the Airion Essential serves the needs of operators looking for a lighter, more agile tool without sacrificing professional-grade durability. Part of Pellenc’s “Essential” range, this handheld blower is designed for practicality and high frequency of use in parks, schools, and urban areas.

Despite its compact profile, the Essential doesn’t compromise on power, offering 23N of thrust in Boost mode. It inherits the patented angled air intake from the flagship Airion 3, a design choice that naturally compensates for the tool’s torque. This prevents the nozzle from dipping, sparing the user’s wrist from the constant “see-saw” motion common with straight-intake blowers.

The Essential range: Versatile in its power delivery

  • Dual Battery Compatibility: It can be powered by the lightweight 200E or 400E on-board batteries for maximum freedom of movement or connected to the high-capacity ULiB backpack batteries via a quick-connect cable for extended runtimes.
  • Precision Control: Featuring three speeds plus a Boost function and Cruise Control, operators can dial in the exact force needed for delicate flower beds or stubborn, water-logged debris.

The Airion Backpack: Heavy-Duty Performance, Reimagined

For large-scale clearance where petrol power was once the only viable option, the Airion Backpack emerges as a formidable successor. Delivering a staggering 27 Newtons (N) of thrust and an airflow of 1,445 m3/h it is currently the most powerful battery-powered backpack blower on the professional market.

What sets the Backpack model apart is its sophisticated ergonomics. Pellenc has focused on the “swing phenomenon” – the physical strain caused by the backward pull of a high-power blower. By optimising the centre of gravity and utilising a dorsal architecture that distributes weight across the hips rather than the shoulders, the Airion Backpack minimizes operator fatigue during full-shift operations.

Key features include:

  • Smart Handle Interface: A backlit display provides real-time data on remaining battery life (in percentage and minutes), current speed setting, and even an energy-saving indicator.
  • Climate Resilience: With an IP54 rating, the unit is fully protected against dust and heavy rain, ensuring that wet autumn leaves don’t lead to downtime.
  • Acoustic Comfort: At just 96 dB(A), it operates significantly quieter than petrol equivalents, allowing for earlier start times in residential areas without breaching noise ordinances.

A Sustainable Investment

Both models are built around Pellenc’s high-efficiency brushless motors and are backed by the Longtime® label, certifying their durability and repairability. For amenity managers, this translates to a lower total cost of ownership compared to petrol fleet maintenance, alongside the obvious environmental benefits of zero-emission operation.

Whether the task involves clearing expansive parklands or maintaining pristine streetscapes, the Airion duo provides a balanced, powerful, and whisper-quiet approach to modern amenity management.

Pellenc battery-powered equipment – including the new Essential range – is distributed exclusively in the UK and Ireland by Etesia UK.

Revolutionising Large-Scale Grass Cutting: The Etesia Hydro 124

/in /by

As the 2026 cutting season approaches, landscape and amenity professionals are facing the perennial challenge of balancing rising operational costs with the need for impeccable turf presentation.

Etesia UK has responded to this pressure with a strategic move, announcing unprecedented savings of over £8,000 on the Hydro 124 range. This price reduction aims to make premium, high-output machinery more accessible to contractors and local authorities looking to upgrade their fleets before the spring growth begins.

Engineering Excellence: The Hydro 124DX

At the pinnacle of the Etesia range sits the Hydro 124DX, a machine that has redefined expectations for ride-on mowers in the professional sector. Unlike traditional mowers that adapt a collection system to an existing tractor frame, Etesia’s philosophy is “cutting first.” The 124DX is designed around a patented direct rear-ejection system that eliminates the need for noisy, power-hungry turbines.

The technical specifications of the H124DX make it a formidable workhorse:

  • Power and Traction: Equipped with a 25HP Lombardini 3-cylinder diesel engine and a permanent 4-wheel drive system, the DX model offers superior stability on slopes and maintains traction in boggy, waterlogged conditions where other mowers might skid or stall.
  • Cutting Efficiency: Featuring a 124cm cutting width with two counter-rotating blades, it boasts a theoretical output of up to 19,000 m²/h.
  • High-Lift Emptying: The 600-litre grass box can be emptied at any height up to 1.8 metres directly from the operator’s seat, allowing for easy tipping into skips or trailers.

Reliability in the Field

The real-world utility of the Hydro 124 series is best illustrated by its longevity and performance in extreme conditions. For many end-users, the ability to cut and collect in the wet is the deciding factor.

Derrick Robertson, a Landscape Yard and Machinery Manager, highlights the user-centric design: “In particular, our operatives like the hydrostatic and hi-lift features which, with only two levers and no confusing buttons, is very easy to use. You can tell this is a premium piece of kit; even in wet conditions, it still sucks all the grass clippings up.”

Similarly, long-term reliability is a hallmark of the brand. Some users, like the Joseph Rowntree Housing Trust, have noted that the machines are so effective in adverse weather that they can “cut and collect in two inches of water” without clogging – a feat that keeps maintenance schedules on track during unpredictable British springs.

Versatility for All Seasons

Beyond just mowing, the H124DX is a multi-functional power unit. With an optional front PTO and attachments like snow blades, sweepers, and scarifiers, it transitions from a mower to a all-year-round maintenance tool, ensuring a high return on investment throughout the year.

With the current price reductions in effect for the 2026 season, there has never been a better time to invest in a machine that promises to reduce downtime and deliver a “World Apart” performance in any weather.
