McConnel: Powerboost system speeds arm movements

McConnel has unveiled its newPowerboost system, a package of next-generation technology that will transform the company’s professional-spec Power Arm hedge and verge mowers into the fastest and most responsive mainstream models ever created.
The new system speeds up arm movements to three times faster than normal, making it ideal for professional contractors working around roadside obstacles or in varied terrain.
Key benefits of the Powerboost system include: Super-fast arm movements on demand; dramatically speeds up complex arm manoeuvres; instantaneous, intuitive control; faster working speeds; greater efficiency; and smoother arm extension.
Precision is enhanced by a progressive sensitivity setting on the controller that gradually increases arm speed the further the joystick is extended, ensuring operators can move from minute adjustments to rapid arm movement quickly and smoothly.
The new system is powered by a breakthrough in hydraulic technology that has delivered an increase in oil flow by 200 per cent on demand.
Powerboost is available 
now as an option for all new 70 and 85 Series Power Arms at a cost of just £2,500 (price correct at January 2013).
