Kress adds arborist chainsaw
Adding chainsaws to its lineup of commercial-grade battery-powered equipment, Kress introduced its new KC320.9 60V Top-Handle Chainsaw, the company’s first equipment developed for professional arborists.
“The Kress Commercial Top-Handle Chainsaw has the power and precision required by professional arborists,” said Chad Bishop, senior product manager at Kress Commercial. “The new top-handle chainsaw allows arborists the convenience of clean battery power with less vibration than gas.”
Kress said the new saw rivals 45cc gas-powered saws with 2.4kW of power and a chain speed of 79 ft/s. Its commercial-grade brushless motor delivers power and efficiency unlike other battery-powered chainsaws with a longer lifespan and lower maintenance than comparable gas-powered saws. The chainsaw weighs less than nine pounds with its battery. Users can choose an optional 12-, 14- or 16-inch bar.

- Chain spec – .325” lp, .043” gauge

To complement the new top-handle chainsaw, Kress Commercial also developed the new Kress Commercial KAC800 60V 240Wh CyberPack Nano which offers equal power to the standard Kress Commercial 240Wh CyberPack in a smaller size. Weighing in at less than four pounds, the CyberPack Nano is for commercial applications where compactness and lightweight design are essential.
The CyberPack Nano is IPX5-rated for protection against the elements and has an LED battery capacity indicator and Bluetooth integration for smart usage statistics. The Kress Commercial Top-Handle Chainsaw has a three-year, 750-hour warranty and the CyberPack Nano is guaranteed for four years or 1,200 full charge cycles.
