55 HIRE AND RENTAL NEWS • MAY 2018 HIRE18 PREVIEW The Briggs & Stratton portfolio encompasses complete solutions and iconic brands such as Victa, Ferris, Billy Goat and Vanguard; durable quality products for the hire industry and consumers. The Vanguard 200 is a single cylinder, horizontal shaft commercial engine developed around key areas of performance critical to improving overall productivity including starting, maintenance intervals, service and support, and total cost of ownership. Vanguard engines are engineered to deliver the best value and performance, as well as setting the global standard for industrial grade petrol engines, and include an advanced version of TransportGuard, Vanguard’s exclusive single ignition and fuel shutoff designed to prevent oil dilution during transport. Fast, reliable and maintenance-free starting along with a cast-iron sleeve aids for durability and superior performance. Briggs & Stratton’s Elite Petrol Generator is designed to provide users with a safe and reliable solution to get power in remote outdoor locations for a range of applications. The heavy-duty frame protects the generator and stands up to transport while the fuel-efficient overhead valve engine starts effortlessly and runs smoothly to maintain power requirements. The Ferris IS2100Z with Oil Guard is a first-of-its-kind solution for the commercial turf market. Ferris mowers with the Oil Guard System offer an increased oil capacity of 4.7 litres, allowing cooler running, longer engine life and extended service intervals. This, combined with Electronic Fuel Injection, challenges traditional diesel units with economy, torque, longevity and service costs, providing a greater rate of return on your capital investment. Billy Goat’s AE1300H Hydro Aerator significantly improves hole quantity and quality due to Patent Pending variable aeration density (VAD), which creates 2-10 times more holes than drum models in one pass. In-ground turning also provides unmatched manoeuvrability, ergonomics and reduced turf damage. The independently acting Flextech arms are durable. The intuitive hydro-drive controls allow users to feather the speed and aerate with fingertip control, reducing fatigue and vibration.
