Husqvarna has introduced a new range of CP floor scarifiers, designed to make surface preparation faster, simpler and more efficient. With petrol, corded electric and battery-powered options, the machines also offer some useful advantages for hire fleets.
The new CP range is designed for removing surface coatings and markings, eliminating trip hazards and profiling concrete or asphalt, with an emphasis on straightforward operation, maintenance and transport.
Three versions of the CP 9 lead the line-up, all offering a 225mm working width. The corded electric model delivers 2.2kW and weighs 97kg, while the 91kg CP 9 PACE battery-powered version offers 2.7kW. Completing the trio is a 99kg petrol model, powered by a 3.7kW Honda GX160 engine.
Further additions are planned, including the petrol-powered CP 11 and the corded CPC 11, which combine scarifying and shaving functions in one machine.
A particularly useful development for hire companies is Husqvarna's tube-refill system, allowing complete drum tool changes in as little as eight minutes. Common mechanical components across the range should also simplify fleet maintenance and spare parts inventories.
Operator-friendly features include simplified controls, a depth indicator and, on electric models, an LED load indicator to help optimise scarifying depth without overloading the motor.
Other features include adjustable handles, low vibration levels, a hold-to-run safety lever and a 51mm dust extraction connection. Corded models also carry IP55 certification, allowing quicker washdowns between hires.
With straightforward servicing and a choice of power sources, the new CP range looks well suited to the demands of busy rental fleets.
