Makita DUR368 36V (18Vx2) Brushless U-Handle Line Trimmer – Industrial Grade
The Makita DUR368 is a high-performance cordless line trimmer engineered for professional landscaping and heavy-duty estate maintenance. Powered by Makita’s advanced 36V (18V x 2) Li-ion platform, this machine features a signature Outer Rotor Brushless Motor, which places the rotating mass on the outside of the stator for increased torque and smoother rotational speed. This industrial-grade power unit delivers a no-load speed of up to 6,500rpm, providing the cutting force of a petrol-driven equivalent without the associated noise, emissions, or vibration.
The DUR368 is equipped with Automatic Torque Drive Technology (ADT), an intelligent system that monitors the load on the cutting head and automatically adjusts the speed and torque for optimal performance and battery efficiency. The U-Handle (Bike Handle) configuration is specifically designed for clearing larger, open areas, offering superior leverage and reducing operator fatigue during extended use. Protected by eXtreme Protection Technology (XPT), this commercial landscaping solution is reinforced against dust and moisture, ensuring reliable operation in harsh outdoor conditions.
Intelligent Control & Ergonomic Efficiency
The Makita DUR368 system features a multi-function control panel, giving the operator fingertip access to 3-stage speed control and a critical reverse rotation switch—a vital feature for quickly clearing tangled grass from the spindle without manual intervention. For professional results, the trimmer is supplied with a high-durability nylon head and a comfortable shoulder strap, ensuring balanced weight distribution and precision control when navigating around obstacles or trimming dense vegetation.
