GROUNDBREAKING TECH

REVOLUTIONISES THE INDUSTRY

Kress has been making headlines in the groundskeeping industry for the past few years . Wanting to find out why ? Read more to find out all the ways Kress has changed everything about how it is possible to work in this field .
Kress the resets the standard on sustainable landscaping Kress raises the bar for sustainability , productivity , and profitability . A groundbreaking battery technology is at the heart of the 8-minute CyberPack innovation , which leverages proprietary chemistry to deliver high-current flow without the typical heat buildup that accelerates battery degradation . This breakthrough allows for unprecedented power and a full charge in merely eight minutes , while ensuring unmatched longevity , backed by a 6-year or 3,000-cycle limited warranty .
To ensure continuous operation throughout the day , the Kress CyberSystem features a unique selection of portable DC-DC chargers , enabling ultra-fast , battery charging on-the-go , even when miles away from the nearest AC power source .
The new paradigm of power Two- and four-stroke engines reach their maximum torque and power at high RPMs when they hit a sweet spot in their performance curve .
In contrast , as we know from EVs , electric motors maintain peak performance over a broad range of RPMs . Yet , conventional low voltage batteries , like those used for OPE , could only deliver high power by pushing the current to levels that would degrade or even damage cells .
Kress ’ s 4 Ah 8-minute CyberPack on-board battery delivers the power equivalent of a 55 cc twostroke engine , but with maximum torque delivered instantly at the pull of the trigger . This means instant power access without the wait , transforming operators ’ work experience with newfound efficiency and productivity .
Catalysing the shift through business model innovation Kress is committed to advancing the expansion of green landscaping by offering a unique business model designed to support landscape maintenance companies . This model revolutionises the traditional approach to fleet renewal by eliminating upfront costs , thus preserving working capital . The simple yet effective formula relies on manageable monthly installments , comfortably balanced by the savings from reduced fuel and maintenance expenses . The result ? Enhanced profitability through pure profit , making the green transition not only feasible but financially advantageous .
Enhancing the environment and workers ’ health The transition to zero-emission landscaping not only helps cities achieve their decarbonisation targets but also elevates the overall health and quality of life for its residents . Landscapers , who face the most significant risk associated with emissions from petrol-powered equipment , can experience immediate health benefits . Switching to Kress batterypowered solutions eliminates exposure to toxic exhaust fumes and significantly reduces the consequences of noise and vibration .
The revolution is underway Transitions can only happen when a viable solution is available .
Kress transcends conventional battery limitations , blending advanced technology with an innovative business model to offer the only eco-friendly solution that promises significant long-term cost savings over fossil fuels .
