Makita 18V 15L Backpack Sprayer (DUS158 Range)
The Makita 18V 15L Backpack Sprayer (DUS158) is a heavy-duty, high-capacity spraying solution designed for extended horticultural and agricultural applications. Powered by the Makita 18V LXT platform, this cordless sprayer eliminates the effort of manual pumping. It delivers a maximum pressure of 0.5MPa and comes equipped with a 600mm lance, offering the versatility of both a dual cone nozzle and a wide flat fan nozzle to perfectly suit the dispersion of herbicides, fungicides, and pesticides.
Engineered for all-day comfort and efficiency, the DUS158 features a highly ergonomic backpack harness that curves along the user's shoulders, chest, and waist to minimize fatigue during long shifts. The back pad incorporates ventilation channels that allow natural airflow, significantly reducing sweating. The handle is equipped with a convenient lock-on lever, removing the need to constantly engage the trigger, while an auto-stop feature turns off the motor when the handle isn't engaged, extending battery life. When paired with a 6.0Ah battery and the flat fan nozzle, you can achieve a massive 9 hours of continuous runtime, allowing you to work all day on a single charge.
