Makita XGT 40V 24″ Hedge Trimmer

Additional information

With zero emissions and lower noise, the Makita 40V max XGT® Brushless Cordless 24” Hedge Trimmer (GHU02) is a welcome solution for professional landscaping clean-up applications. The Makita-built brushless motor delivers up to 5,000 SPM for powerful trimming. It has three speed options to manage power and run time.

The 24” dual-action double-sided shear blade provides optimal performance. A reverse function clears jams. The hedge trimmer can get up to 6 hours of run time using one (1) 40V max XGT 4.0Ah Battery. The 5-position rotating rear handle provides increased comfort during vertical and angle trimming. A tip guard protects the end of the cutter bar against hard surfaces.

For added durability in harsh job site conditions, Extreme Protection Technology (XPT™) is engineered for improved dust and water resistance. The power head also features IPX4-rated weather-resistant construction for added durability.

XGT is a system of equipment, tools, batteries, and chargers utilizing 40V max lithium-ion batteries. XGT is engineered to deliver high power to take on high-demand applications, allowing users to completely transition to a cordless job site. XGT is equipped with advanced brushless motor engineering, intelligent digital communication, and superior durability features to outpower, outsmart and outlast the rest.
