FAQ’s
Worries about ever increasing fuel costs:
The AS 1200/REC 15 is battery operated and takes up much less
space for transport and storage for smaller vehicles. No more gas or
oil expenses.
Emissions and overspray problems:
The AS 1200 is specially manufactured to put product where it’s
needed, resulting in much less waste and up to 20% reduction in
chemical use with the same coverage results.
Regulatory noise restrictions or noise complaints:
The AS 1200/REC 15 is compliant with noise and gas powered
blower restrictions. Very quiet.
Lifting restrictions or worker injuries:
The AS 1200/REC 15 is ergonomically designed and less than half
the weight of gas-powered blowers resulting in less worker fatigue
and injury.
IT MAKES GOOD FINANCIAL SENSE:
The AS 1200/REC 15 should result in < 2 years return on investment
as compared with gas powered blowers when factoring in fuel and
chemical savings. With a 2 year equipment warranty and 3 year
battery warranty included, it makes financial sense.
