Lloyds mowers out in front

Paladin gets better presence
A full re-design of the Lloyds Paladin handles has resulted in a safer machine with more operator comfort due to the ergonomically designed Operator Presence Control (OPC).
With health & safety being one of the primary decisions when buying a machine, the new double operator presence control increases the safety level of this already highly regarded machine. The option of being able to operate the machine with either hand allows the operator much more flexibility when handling the mower, thus ensuring a higher degree of safety.
Ergonomics
The simple but very forward thinking design of the new handle, along with the ergonomic styling of the new levers and handle grips, results in a higher level of operator comfort. Ensuring all machine operations, cylinder (reel) and drive requirements sit comfortably to hand as well as easy speed adjustment of the throttle control and stop switch.
Using high quality wire and fittings the cable strength and life expectancy are greatly increased. However the simple one-piece cable on each clutch can be quickly adjusted or changed when maintenance is required ensuring minimum downtime.
The new Paladins were shown at BTME for the first time, for further details contact Clive Nottingham or Ray Potter at Lloyds and Co Letchworth Ltd Tel: 01462 683031 or e-mail sales@lloydsandco.com
