Briggs & Stratton has announced its new ground-breaking “Mow & Stow” engine which allows petrol lawnmowers to be stored vertically for the first time whilst saving up to 70% of space.



Lawnmowers featuring the Mow & Stow engine can be stored upright, at an 110̊ angle, without the risk of petrol or oil leaks – something which the company says was not previously possible for petrol engines.

The engine is the result of extensive research and significant design changes that allow the engine to be tilted without causing problems or leaks. By using the handle and its rotating rear wheels, the Mow & Stow is easy to lift and move. This also enables easier cleaning of the underneath and blade to ensure smoother running and a precise cut.

Ian Small, sales and marketing manager for Briggs & Stratton UK, commented, “Briggs & Stratton has always been the forerunner of petrol engine technology and innovation and the Mow & Stow is our latest step in doing this. Until now, it has not been possible to safely store petrol lawnmowers vertically but our latest product developments have overcome this.”
