Concrete cutter manufacturer Husqvarna has launched its first battery powered cutter that will offer a performance equivalent to petrol powered cutters but with low emission benefits.
The K1 PACE cutter – which is being launched at the World of Concrete show in Las Vegas this week – represents a “big step forward” and will offer customers a cutter that can handle heavy duty jobs, the company said, adding this is the first product to use Husqvarna’s new battery system, PACE.
The company further said the sales of the product will start in the second half of this year, initially in the Nordic region, at which time more technical details will be released.
“What we are presenting today is a breakthrough in the market for power cutters”, said Mattias Holmdahl, Global Product Manager Power Cutters at Husqvarna Construction.
The PACE battery system will be used on multiple products as the battery- powered range grows. In addition to the power cutters and battery system, diamond blades in 12” and 14” (300 and 350 mm) have been designed for battery operation.
The machine is also equipped with the X-Halt brake that stops rotation of a blade in a fraction of a second.
