Pellenc has launched their latest hedge trimmer – the Helion Compact 2 which is the lightest battery-powered hedge trimmer on the market

The new Helion hedge trimmer is an efficient tool that meets the needs of professionals in terms of power and trimming quality. Their odourless operation and light weight allow the user to work comfortably when trimming hedges, ornamental trees and also for pruning.

New innovative features include:

– Greater cutting power designed for pruning and finishing
– Fast connector system for quick connection and disconnection
– Retractable trigger for ease of use
– Water protection to IP54
– Easily interchangeable blades
– Lower vibration

A swivel head is available on the pole models, and can be adjusted by +90°/-45° which means you can work in all trimming positions. The Swivel handle is also adjustable by +/- 90° for vertical work without bending the handle.

As with all other Pellenc products, the Selion Compact 2 chainsaw uses the ultra-high capacity technology of the Pellenc lithium battery and guarantees non-polluting, odourless operation with quick start-up and up to one day battery life.

The Pellenc ULB battery range is designed for professional tool use. Pellenc is the only professional tool manufacturer to offer a whole range of tools that operate with ultra-high capacity multipurpose batteries.

Ideal tools for all situations where noise and emissions are not wanted, Pellenc are used by groundsmen, landscapers, arborists and contractors for grounds maintenance, or close to hospitals, cemeteries, schools and other noise sensitive areas.

All Pellenc tools now come with a comprehensive three year commercial warranty as standard.

Pellenc is sold exclusively in the UK by Etesia UK.

Etesia has launched two new ride-on models – the Buffalo BPHP2 two-wheel drive and the Buffalo BPHPX2 four-wheel-drive options which can cut, collect or mulch; and with the use of a deflector, cut high grass areas – in all weathers.

The new generation model enhanced features include:

• Even better grass collection performance
• Faster working speed to increase productivity by 30%
• Larger fuel tank means 35% longer running time
• Improved power steering
• Safer slope work (10 degrees)
• Enhanced operator comfort
• Braking efficiency doubled
• New deck drive system
• Even more robust and efficient

With a 1 metre cutting width and cutting heights from 44-102mm, both machines are able to cut and collect areas up to 12,000 m² per hour and able to empty the 600 litre grass box up to 1.8 metres above the ground thanks to the high-tip emptying system.

Fitted with a 20.5HP Perkins 403 D07 three cylinder diesel engine and an electromagnetic blade clutch with brake, these new models have been designed and manufactured to withstand the rigours of commercial use.

The new Etesia Buffalo ride-on mowers also ensure complete versatility with a range of attachments available including snow plough and snow chains for winter maintenance, front-mounted sweeper and scarifier. Add these attachments to the mulching insert and high grass cutting deflector and you have a machine for all-year round lawn maintenance.

Etesia continues to spread its wings to every corner of the UK after announcing another three dealers to its growing network.

Specialists in building high quality grass cutting machinery for both the professional and domestic market, Etesia’s extensive range of products are in high demand. It is for this reason that the company’s vast dealer network continues to grow. From the UK to Ireland, Etesia dealers are providing their customers with innovative solutions to their landscaping requirements.

Midlands Grounds Machinery (MGM), based in Solihull, will be Etesia UK’s recognised dealer for the West Midlands area. Offering professional support, sales and servicing for a wide range of lawnmowers and groundscare equipment, MGM was seen as a perfect fit for Etesia.

As well as selling Etesia’s walk-behind range, ride-on mowers and the popular Attila brush cutters, MGM has also embraced Etesia’s green technology ethos and will be stocking their range of robotic ETmowers.

Managing director, Dave Tullet, has worked within the groundscare industry for over 27 years and is optimistic about working with Etesia.

“We wanted to invest in serious, market leading machinery and Etesia seemed the perfect choice to offer our customers. They want quality machines and Etesia provides them with this. Having been in the industry a long time now, I’m confident that the Etesia range will be a great addition to MGM’s range of machinery and services.

“I’m particularly optimistic about the ETmowers. Not only will they be appealing to the commercial market but Solihull is an affluent area and the robotic mowers will be sought after for those large domestic gardens where they can take out the laborious chore of mowing whilst still providing a superior cut. They are also great for the environment.”

Revill Mowers, recently formed by Russell Revill and his nephew Jason, is the newly appointed Etesia dealer for Gloucestershire. Both Russell and Jason are trained mechanics and the family-run business will also be benefitted by Russell’s previous experience of dealing with Etesia.

“I’ve been dealing with Etesia for the past 20 years now and I used to sell the very first Hydro 100’s, which became the industry trend setter. That has continued over the years with everyone else copying various Etesia models.
“When we first set-up the company I was adamant that I wanted to be able to offer them to our customer base. A lot of our customers have dated machines, 10 or 15 years old now, so I’m hoping to convince them that they should be replaced with Etesia machines! They certainly won’t regret it,” said Russell.

Allans of Gillock will be covering the expansive area of Northern Scotland, offering Etesia machines to customers as far as the Orkney and Shetland Islands. The company, which has built a great reputation since being founded in 1980, believe that becoming an Etesia dealer is a step in the right direction.

“Up until now it is fair to say that we have mainly catered for the domestic market but we are looking to reach more into the commercial side of things. We wanted to have a slightly more upmarket range of machines available and this is where Etesia comes in. They are renowned for their quality and I believe this is the next step to where we are wanting to go,” said general manager Alan Gair.

Etesia UK is pleased to announce the appointment of Giovanni Soare as after sales assistant. In his new role, Giovanni will provide after sales and dedicated support to the company’s specialist Etesia and Pellenc dealers, including involvement with local shows, demonstrations and open days.

Over the past 25 years Etesia has become an established brand relied upon by many industry professionals in a number of European countries. The UK, in particular, is now Etesia’s third largest market behind its homeland France and second placed Germany. It is also the only other market aside from France and Germany, where Etesia has a fully operational team.
With previous sales experience and possessing excellent customer service skills, Giovanni will be further strengthening a team dedicated to delivering the best support to its dealer network and customers.

“Etesia has a great relationship with everyone it works with and I’m looking forward to being a part of that. Every morning I come in smiling because I know I’m working with a good team and that motivates me a lot,” he said.

Giovanni’s appointment signals the increasing popularity of both Etesia and Pellenc’s battery range of products. The last 12 months has seen an increasing number of operators now using these products due to the excellent performance, low CO2 emissions, low vibration levels and financial savings – making them a truly environmentally friendly product for professionals.

Commenting on the battery powered equipment and Giovanni’s appointment, Etesia UK’s operations director Les Malin, said: “With many more products on the horizon and the battery powered products constantly evolving, the marketplace for these products is growing very quickly. Giovanni’s appointment can be attributed to the popularity of these products.

“Because they are in such high demand, Giovanni will be making sure there is no drop in customer service and ensuring that we continue to help our dealer network in every possible way.

“He’s very adaptable and eventually he’ll be taking more control of the after sales as he progresses.”
