WHERE THE LANDSCAPE CHANGES
CO-LOCATED WITH
Kress Commercial’s 8-Minute CyberSystem leads the transformation of the lawn care industry The lawn care industry is undergoing a revolutionary transformation. Hundreds of municipalities have banned various types of gas-powered lawn equipment, and the industry as a whole is facing increasing pressure to make gas-powered commercial equipment obsolete. Your customers – businesses, facilities, municipalities and homeowners – are demanding quieter, greener alternatives. Now that alternative can also save you money. In the past, technological limitations have made it impossible for the industry to evolve. Landscapers need a viable alternative to gas, without compromising performance or facing costly barriers to transition. Enter Kress Commercial, whose 8-Minute CyberSystem is redefining the standards of productivity and profitability in commercial landscaping. No compromises: Battery power is a true alternative to gas-powered equipment Kress Commercial’s 8-Minute CyberSystem is not just about meeting regulatory requirements; it’s about exceeding expectations and setting new standards for efficiency and user health benefits. With a charge time of only eight minutes 1 and mobile charging capabilities, this proprietary battery technology ensures that commercial landscapers maintain uninterrupted operations while significantly reducing their operational emissions 2 – and gas bill – while the operator enjoys reduced vibrations. In addition to industry-leading charge times, Kress CyberSystem batteries produce higher power Embracing the battery revolution
Join the revolution with Kress Commercial The 8-Minute CyberSystem is not just a product; it’s a commitment to a productive and profitable tomorrow. Commercial landscapers can now be at the forefront of this transformative movement, adopting a solution that not only meets the evolving industry demands, but also propels their businesses into a new era of efficiency and profitability. Visit kress.com to explore our full range of products and discover why operators everywhere are choosing Kress. Interested in trying it out for yourself?
output – equivalent to a 55cc two-stroke engine 3 – and offer longer lifespans – up to 3,000 lifecycles 4 – than traditional lithium-ion batteries. This translates to cost savings for business owners, further demonstrating that profitability can exist without compromise. 1 Charging time of the Kress Commercial 8-minute batteries when charged with the CyberTank charger on Flash Charge. Cooling just-discharged batteries before recharge is not required. Charging in boost mode is designed for one battery at a time to ensure maximum charging speed. 2 Kress Commercial equipment is California CORE eligible and American Green Zone Alliance tested and approved. 3 The maximum power output for the benchmark 2-stroke engine is based on average performance data from a selection of widely used commercial-grade 2-stroke engines for landscaping power equipment. Actual power can vary based on specific engine models. 4 The 3,000-cycle lifespan is based on tests conducted under high-capacity C discharge rates, indicative of high output power that reflects real-world commercial landscaping applications.
