BRIGGS & STRATTON SHOW NEW RANGE
At recent Executive Hire Show
 
The Vanguard 203cc will be available to OEMs and for engine repowers from 2018

Briggs & Stratton’s Commercial Power brand, Vanguard introduced a complete line of single-cylinder horizontal shaft petrol engines a the 2018 Executive Hire Show.

 

The company says the range has been developed in response to customer input rather than modifying an existing design.

 

After interviewing hire outlets, end users and dealers worldwide the key issues that arose time and again included the need for improved starting, reduced maintenance, less noise and vibration and better service and support.

 

The result was an engine with four-season starting at temperatures as low as -28 degree celsius, corrosions and stale fuel resistant plating. Vanguard’s exclusive single ignition and fuel shutoff, TransportGuard which prevents oil dilution whilst in transit. In addition, the engine’s dimensions and bolt configuration make it a ‘drop-in’ solution for equipment powered by other engine manufactures.

 

To help reduce maintenance downtime, the engine features an oil management system that allows the engine to run efficiently for up to 200 hours between oil changes - double the industry standard say Briggs & Stratton.

 

A fully-cyclonic air filtration system lessens downtime by extending the recommended air filter replacement to 600 hours.

 

The company says overall engine noise is improved and Vanguard has manufactured the main components to lessen the impact of vibration on performance as well as operator comfort.

 

The first available model within the new range, the 6.5-gross horsepower Vanguard 203cc, will be available to OEMs and for engine repowers from 2018. The remaining models - ranging from 5 to 13 gross horsepower - will be introduced over the next two years.
