The 1.2 million square feet of continuous meeting space inside Louisville’s Kentucky Exposition Center is nothing less than colossal. Walk inside, look up and the light fixtures appear to extend infinitely. Tough to fill, but during the week of Oct. 14, 2019, it was packed from wall to wall with the latest and greatest of the green industry for the annual GIE+Expo, the largest outdoor power equipment, landscaping supply and hardscaping trade show in North America.
Like most industry trade shows, GIE is the big reveal - an opportunity for manufacturers and suppliers to place new products and technologies at center stage, to showcase a year’s worth of work and build excitement for new products. In the AriensCo booth, it was a reveal of new product lines, plus one game-changing prototype.
Well-known as a trusted residential zero turn lawn mower brand, the Ariens product development teams leveraged their expertise in engineering and manufacturing to launch a commercial product, the Ariens Zenith.
On the Gravely side of the booth and in the demo space, the second-generation Atlas JSV® showed off its completely redesigned powertrain. Other introductions included the new Pro-Turn® MACH ONE with a unique tunnel deck design, durability upgrades to the Pro-Turn Z, updated controls to the Pro-Walk Hydro and a ground-up redesign of the Pro-Stance® stand-on mower.
Now in its final stretch of development, the highly anticipated Gravely EVZT lithium ion-powered commercial zero turn mower will launch in summer 2020. While the machine is getting a few finishing touches, testing and validation has taught a lot more about this machine than what was known just one year ago.
