Makita Direct Connection Brushless Backpack Blower UB004C

Makita Direct Connection Brushless Backpack Blower (UB004C Range)

The Makita Direct Connection Brushless Backpack Blower (UB004C) is a commercial-grade powerhouse designed to tackle the largest and most demanding jobs. Engineered to provide performance equivalent to petrol backpack blowers, it completely eliminates the need for mixing and storing fuel, pull-starting engines, and dealing with harmful noise and fumes. Powered via a direct connection to Makita's Portable Power Supply Units (PDC1200 or PDC1500), it utilizes a high-efficiency Brushless motor that operates at up to 23,800rpm. This configuration delivers a market-leading maximum air volume of 19.7m³/min normally, peaking at an incredible 20.9m³/min in boost mode, alongside a blistering maximum air speed of 290.5km/h.

Ergonomics and user comfort have been significantly enhanced to ensure operational efficiency during extended use. The redesigned backpack harness features breathable mesh fabric and restructured shoulder belts to dramatically reduce stress on the user's back and shoulders. Control is placed right at your fingertips with a highly functional, fully adjustable joystick that incorporates an On/Off switch, battery fuel indicator, variable speed trigger, and a cruise control lever. Furthermore, the nozzle length can be adjusted up to 180mm to perfectly suit the operator's size and preferred working posture.

Ideal For:

• Commercial Landscaping: Delivers the petrol-equivalent force required to quickly clear heavy, wet leaves and large debris from expansive parks and estates.
• Facility & Stadium Maintenance: The combination of extreme air volume (20.9m³/min) and long runtimes makes rapid clearing of massive concrete areas incredibly efficient.
• Noise-Sensitive Environments: Achieves commercial performance without the disruptive noise of a gas engine, making it suitable for early morning use near schools or hospitals.

Key Features:

• Direct Connection Power: Designed to connect directly to the PDC1200 or PDC1500 Portable Power Supply Units for extended, uninterrupted runtimes.
• Petrol-Equivalent Performance: The Brushless motor spins at 23,800rpm, generating a massive air velocity of 290.5km/h and 20.9m³/min volume in boost mode.
• Advanced Ergonomic Harness: Features improved ventilation channels with mesh fabric and a restructured harness to reduce fatigue.
• Control Joystick: A fully position-adjustable grip houses the variable speed trigger, cruise control lever, and boost mode activator.
• Adjustable Nozzle: Offers 180mm of forward and backward adjustment to optimize sweeping angles for users of any height.
• IPX4 Rated: Provides increased resistance to water, allowing for reliable operation in harsh or damp outdoor environments.
