Battery-powered equipment is causing a dramatic shift in the forestry, construction, gardening, and agriculture sectors. According to the International Federation of Robotics (IFR), the global market for robotic lawnmowers is expected to reach $1.5 billion by the end of next year. These products are just a small fraction of the battery-powered equipment available to Zimbabwean and international consumers.

Battery-powered equipment is becoming more popular in Zimbabwe as buyers look for more convenient, effective, and sustainable alternatives. Cutting Edge is the Husqvarna supplier in Zimbabwe and we offer a range of battery machines for gardening, forestry, construction and agriculture.

Why consumers choose battery equipment

Buyers in Zimbabwe are starting to favour battery products over petrol and electric ones. Buying Husqvarna battery equipment has many benefits, starting with increased efficiency. These battery-powered machines provide similar performance and power to their petrol-powered counterparts but they do away with the costs of buying fuel and oil.

Secondly, they are environmentally friendly as they have no emissions and are much quieter. This makes them ideal for use in densely populated areas, such as suburbs and business districts. Battery-operated tools can even be used on weekends when noise-sensitive neighbours are particularly sensitive.

Husqvarna battery-powered machines need minimal maintenance, which saves you money and time by reducing downtime. The only moving parts are brushes and bearings, which can be easily replaced. This also means your maintenance bills are kept to a minimum.

Lastly, battery machinery is generally lighter and easier to carry than petrol-powered alternatives. This convenience is most noticeable when you need to work on big projects for several hours. Battery machines are designed with ergonomics in mind, making them more comfortable and easier on your body over long periods.
