Stiga presents the flagships of its ranges at EIMA International. Starting with the new generation of autonomous robot lawnmowers, designed to combine efficiency and cutting quality with a high level of customization. From the compact A1500, A500, A750 and A1000, suitable for working on smaller lawns, up to the top of the range A7500 and A10000 for larger surface areas, they are all capable of working on any type of terrain with an extension of between 500 and 10,000 square meters. The robotic lawnmowers work on the basis of a virtual perimeter laid out through the RTK GPS system while the predictive Active Guidance System technology (AGS is a Stiga patent) ensures maximum operational effectiveness as it is able to prevent any interruptions in cutting. The Cloud connection with the reference station along the entire route means that the robots are able to avoid overlaps and can mow each individual area of the lawn precisely and regularly, ensuring a uniform result. Furthermore, through the STIGA.GO App, the operator can control the status and main operating functions of the machine, such as patterns and cutting height adjustment, edge cleaning and perimeter customization. Also featured at the manufacturer's stand is the the Gyro 900e tractor controllable via joystick and featuring drive-by-wire transmission with STIGA Direct Drive. The patented Direct Drive technology – explains the manufacturer in a technical note – allows the machine to steer with a 360° radius and significantly improves both its maneuverability and reliability. From a strictly operational point of view, this translates into a higher quality cut in notoriously difficult areas, such as those around trees, shrubs, flower beds and garden ornaments. The robust 125cm cutting deck and free-spinning blades, each powered by a 1.5kW motor, deliver top-level performance in both rear discharge and mulching modes.

For the gardening tools sector, STIGA brings its 300 Series products to Bologna: the HT300e hedge trimmer, the BL 300e blower, the GT 300e brush cutter and the CS 300e chainsaw. Powerful and high-performance, the 300 Series models are safe and easy to use, thanks to their adjustable handles and ergonomic grips, but they are also ready to use. The on-board ePower direct battery charging system provides versatility of use and operational autonomy.

Finally, the Park Pro 900 WX and Tornado 7198 W are high-end tractors with gas-powered engines. The Park Pro 900 WX is equipped with a 688cc Honda GXV 630 twin-cylinder engine, which offers exceptional performance, reliability and rideability, and with OHV technology that improves fuel economy and reduces emissions, while also ensuring lower noise. The Tornado 7198Wmodel also offers high-level performance, powered by a robust STIGA ST 600 twin-cylinder engine, which reduces consumption, emissions and vibrations. "Technology, innovation, sustainability are at the heart of our corporate mission." "EIMA – said STIGA CEO, Sean Robinson, commenting on the latest news for the garden sector – represents a unique opportunity to showcase how our advanced technological solutions can meet the growing demands for efficiency and respect for the environment. We are excited to share our latest innovations with the public and industry professionals."
