Equipment manufacturer Husqvarna Construction Products further strengthens its position on the global floor grinding market by launching a complete range of eight new floor grinders. The machines have been developed with the user in focus – ensuring a smarter way of working.
Strong synergies
Mark Michaels, Director of Product Management Husqvarna Construction North America, said: “The introduction of this range is a step-change for the industry. Combined with our range of dust extractors, diamond tools, training and online connectivity services, this launch is one of our biggest in many years – and a statement of our long-term commitment to our customers and the development of the industry.”
Three sizes—many options
The new Husqvarna planetary grinder (PG) range starts with the compact PG 540. Its split-chassis design makes it easy to handle and operate – perfect for the smaller jobs. Next is the versatile PG 690, which is also available in remote control and propane-driven versions. The top-of-the-line PG 830 is the largest and most powerful model. It is also available as the PG 830 RC, with remote control and motorised drive for maximum performance, and the PG 830 S, with single drive—a straight-forward and affordable workhorse.
High performance
The new range stays true to the unique and proven Dual Drive Technology, but more powerful motor options pave the way for even higher productivity. The PG 830 and PG 830 RC feature a 15 kW/20 hp motor—meaning up to 36% more power than previous models. Integrated adjustable weights (optional) can be added for extra grinding pressure.
Sealed against dust and slurry
Reliability is another key focus area for the new range. Worth particular mention, are the fully-sealed grinding head, the fully-sealed electrical cabinets and the sealed Dual Drive transmission. This concept protects the critical components against dust and slurry. For the operator, this means longer service intervals and maximised up-time.
Easy handling
The new, compact design offers great perimeter visibility, and the adjustable handlebars offer numerous positions, ensuring good operator ergonomics. Other details that make any workday easier are the optional LED lights, foldable
kick-bar for easy tilting, robust suspension, and large wheels for easy transportation. The control panel has been redesigned, for better control and feedback, even when the operator wears gloves. And the intuitive, ergonomic remote options allow the operator to focus on the floor and the job.
