Makita powers up its cordless OPE lineup

Makita U.S.A., Inc., has laid claim to having the world’s largest professional cordless outdoor power equipment system. 

The expanding range of Makita cordless lawn mowers, trimmers, blowers, and chain saws is meeting growing demand as users seek alternatives to traditional gas-powered equipment, the manufacturer said. 

Makita also said that it is positioned to meet the demand for cordless outdoor power equipment this fall with the “Rule the Outdoors” digital campaign to direct awareness to its wide offering of equipment.

“We are seeing more and more demand for cordless outdoor power equipment from all users, from pro landscapers to homeowners,” said Romique Talton, senior product manager, Makita U.S.A. “The Makita LXT System delivers maximum performance with battery-powered lawn mowers, trimmers, blowers and chain saws, so users get all they need for efficient landscaping and clean-ups.”

Over the past year, Makita has expanded its cordless outdoor power equipment offering. Makita said that its LXT Cordless Outdoor Power Equipment is the world's largest professional cordless outdoor power equipment system, offering more solutions in more categories. 

Makita’s LXT Outdoor Power Equipment lineup is part of the world’s largest cordless system of over 275 products (in 2021). All the products use the same LXT battery. 

The “Rule the Outdoors” campaign promotes Makita LXT Cordless Outdoor Power Equipment, which is powered by Makita purpose-built motors and a fast-charging LXT lithium-ion battery. Benefits of cordless outdoor power equipment include instant starts, lower noise, reduced maintenance, and zero emissions, the company said.

“No one knows cordless like us,” said Talton. “We have over 90 years of chain saw and gas expertise and over 40 years of cordless expertise. This knowledge and experience have been invested into product development and has resulted in the largest offering of cordless outdoor power equipment on the market.”
