The East Devon Streetscene operations maintain parks, gardens and open spaces including the proms and beaches, in an area of more than 30 square miles. "We tested a number of modern backpack blowers for performance, noise and vibration and chose the Makita BBX7600. It is light in weight, wich suits all our staff, starts easily and delivers a massive 19.5 cubic metres of air per minute. Indipendant tests carried out by Earlsmere Ltd show that this Makita blower has dramatically lower vibration ratings than other machines. Now the team can use them all day in safety"
"We can use our new Makita back-pack blowers all day whereas our previous machines could only be used for 45 minutes because of the vibration levels," reports Tim Harris, Technical Officer of the Streetscene Team at East devon District Council. This is what indipendant testers claim is the capacity of the Makita BBX7600 4-Stroke blowers. In fact they have such super-low vibration they can be used continuously for 24 hours and are the safest on the market!
