Greenworks Commercial Adds to its Powerful Leaf Blower Lineup with New 82-Volt Dual Battery Port Backpack Blower

New Dual Battery Port System Provides True Gas Equivalent Power and Performance with More Run Time Than Competing Models

 

The leading provider of battery operated-outdoor power equipment Greenworks Commercial, has announced today that it has expanded its award-winning 82-volt line with the new GBB 700 Dual Battery Port Backpack Blower. This commercial grade backpack blower is the first cordless blower of its kind to offer the performance and power needed to support landscapers, turf management crews and golf maintenance professionals.

690 CFM and 165 mph are now available on demand at the push of a button. Operators can customize their performance and power usage with the variable speed trigger, cruise control lever, and turbo button. This unit is equipped with two battery ports that come standard with Automatic Battery Switch-Over. This patented feature automatically switches from one battery to the next once the first battery is depleted, offering extended uninterrupted runtime.

Like all the tools included in the Greenworks Commercial family, the new GBB 700 Dual Battery Port Backpack Blower is powered by Greenworks Commercial’s proprietary 82-volt lithium-ion battery platform and brushless motor technology.  However, this unit has taken this battery platform to the next level with its unique Power Station feature.  Simply disconnect the blower tube and motor housing from the side of the unit and the blower is transformed into a mobile power source capable of pugging in and powering any of the other 82-volt hand help equipment.  This allows users to extend their runtime without adding weight to the tool.

Features & Benefits:

• Axial fan design providing up to 690CFM/165 MPH
• Brushless motor delivering more power, quieter operation and longer life
• Dual Battery Port with automatic switchover for 2x run-time
• Power Station Capabilities let users power their whole line of equipment off the same backpack
• Cruise Control, Variable Speed Trigger and Turbo Button provide customized performance

GBB 700 not only provides easier operation and a safer work environment, but it also yields 50% less noise and 5X less vibration than gas equivalent products. This protects crews from long term hearing damage and chronic conditions such as white fingers and arthritis, and the hassle-free operation of this product means new crew members will require less training and equipment will spend less time in the shop.  No Pull Cords, No Gas, No Fumes, No Hassle.

“As we continue to evolve our distributor relationships throughout North America to ensure that professionals have access to our award-winning tools at their favorite dealers, we push forward with new and exciting technologies that will make the work day more productive and less strenuous,” said Chris Allen, President of Greenworks North America. “For 2018, we’ve put a focus on providing innovative battery management solutions to increase the amount of productivity users can get on the job site.  The new Dual Battery Port Backpack Blower provides users with optimal performance to get tough jobs completed in a forward-thinking, green way, with double the run-time of previous models.”

The Greenworks Commercial Dual Battery Port Backpack Blower will be available through the Carswell and Steven Willand independent dealer networks and SiteOne beginning April 15^th.  For more information on the 82-volt GBB 700 and the full Greenworks Commercial line, visit http://greenworkscommercial.com.
