Makita Releases New 40V Max XGT 6 Quart HEPA Filter Backpack Vac
Makita U.S.A. Inc. has released the 40V max XGT 6 Quart HEPA Filter Dry Backpack Vacuum (GCV08). The Backpack Vac is an ideal solution that allows users to navigate obstacles without trailing a vacuum behind them, as well as for overhead cleaning and cleaning in limited spaces.
“Makita continues to expand the lineup of XGT equipment and tools with the new 6-Quart Backpack Vacuum,” said Nicole Tougas, product manager, outdoor power equipment, Makita U.S.A. Inc. “It gives users in janitorial/sanitation a powerful and portable cleaning solution that eliminates the hassles of cords.”
Powerful and Portable
The Backpack Dry Vacuum is a powerful and portable clean-up solution that eliminates extension cords that trail corded backpack vacuums, it features over two time more suction power with 85 CFM and 80-in. water lift (when compared to the Makita LXT model XCV17).
The GCV08 features an efficient two stage HEPA filtration system that captures 99.97% of particulates .3 microns and larger. For two-times longer run time, the vacuum features an auto-switching two-bay battery system allowing the user to get more work done.
Large Capacity
The six-quart capacity is portable and allows the user to navigate obstacles without trailing a vacuum behind them, as well as for overhead cleaning and cleaning in limited spaces. The backpack vacuum features 4-speed power selection for power level choices and run time management. It ruins on one 40V max XGT battery, but the two bay battery system accommodates two batteries and will auto switch to the second one, when the first battery is depleted. When running with two 4.0Ah batteries on power level 3, the vacuum delivers up to 1 hour of run time.
Convenience Features
Convenience features include a built-in LED light on the controller that illuminates the work area, a stopper that prevents the cover from closing without the dust bag installed, and padded shoulder straps and waist belt with multiple adjustments for improved fit and comfort. The GCV08 also includes an anti-static hose (1-1/4 in. x 32in.), an aluminum telescoping wand, and a 12-1/2-in. floor nozzle for janitorial applications.
