Andy Laing of the university’s property services division is responsible for introducing electric hand equipment and mowers into campus operations. The SK-48 will be used around campus amongst the historical buildings and courtyards. “In addition to all the sustainability gains, the low noise levels were the clincher for me,” Andy said.

The Mean Green SK-48 Stalker electric mower has a continuous run-time of 6 -hours plus and operates at 74 d(B)a – which is less than half the noise of conventional mowers.
