MILWAUKEE, May 23, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- Briggs &
Stratton Corporation recently featured a number of its new,
innovative products at the National Hardware Show held in
Las Vegas, NV. At the show,
individuals from the hardware and home improvement industry had the
opportunity to view and learn about products from Briggs &
Stratton's broad portfolio of outdoor power equipment – including
portable generators, pressure washers, snow blowers, riding mowers
and lithium-ion battery products – that will help get work done
faster and easier.
The newest innovation featured at the show was the recently
introduced CO Guard™ Carbon Monoxide Shutdown technology.
Briggs & Stratton will add this technology on new
portable generator models under a variety of brands manufactured
for the United States over the
next 18 months. The industry-leading carbon monoxide (CO) shutdown
technology is designed to shut off the portable generator if
harmful levels of CO accumulate in the generator's operating
area.
Briggs & Stratton also featured an array of new gas and
electric pressure washers at the show that offer more
versatility to the tools a home or business owner uses to tackle
their cleaning demands, with the ability to clean anything from
delicate items like fabric cushions to the toughest jobs like oil
stains on a driveway. One pressure washer on display was the
InStart® Lithium-Ion Electric Start, which
combines the power of gas with the dependable push-button starting
reliability of lithium-ion technology.
In addition, the company showcased its single-stage and
dual-stage snow blowers at the show with Snow Series OHV
Engines, rugged designs and 3-year limited residential
warranties1.
From Briggs & Stratton's Snapper brand, the
Snapper® 360Z Zero Turn mower features a
first-of-its-kind integrated rear cargo bed2 for more
on-the-go versatility and convenience than a traditional zero turn
mower, and a redesigned line of SPX™ lawn tractors with
benefits including a more powerful transmission, contoured seating
and an integrated hour meter.
Also from Briggs & Stratton's Snapper brand, the Snapper
XD 82-Volt Max3 Lithium-ion battery-powered lawn &
garden tool system continues to expand and now includes 16+
tools homeowners need to efficiently complete yard work. A
self-propelled utility cart, pole saw, self-propelled mower,
cultivator, snow shovel and four new attachments for the current
string trimmer were the latest additions featured at the show.
"As Briggs & Stratton continues to have an increased
presence at popular shows such as The National Hardware Show, it's
important we highlight the many brands and products that make our
company great," says vice president of corporate marketing
Rick Carpenter. "Our diverse product
portfolio allows us to provide power to and make work easier for an
array of customers' needs; and we were especially proud to feature
innovations to help the hard working individuals attending the
