Classen's TR-20eV Turf Rake now powered by Vanguard swappable battery pack

Classen’s new TR-20eV Turf Rake is now powered by the Vanguard 48V 1.5kWh1 (Si1.5) swappable battery pack, offering a quiet, emission-free alternative for commercial turf renovation.

“We chose the Vanguard Si1.5 because of the collaborative and solutions-focused approach their team brought to the table. From the start, it felt like a true partnership,” says Gina Putnam, director of sales and marketing at Classen. “The Vanguard team worked closely with us to understand our application needs and support the development of a reliable, battery-powered platform. Beyond the strong technical collaboration, the Si1.5 battery offered competitive pricing and delivered productivity metrics that aligned well with our expectations. It checked all the boxes for what we needed to confidently bring this next generation of Classen equipment to market.”

“We are thrilled to partner with a respected brand like Classen as they advance their line of turf equipment. The Si1.5 battery pack is engineered for exactly these types of demanding commercial applications where uptime, durability and versatility are critical,” says David Frank, senior vice president and president of electrification at Briggs & Stratton. “Its exchangeable design is key, allowing operators to easily swap batteries on the jobsite to reduce downtime, while achieving a standard charge time of just 75 minutes with a compatible Vanguard charger2. The battery’s versatility is a major asset; its standard interface allows it to power multiple product platforms. Like all Vanguard products, the Si1.5 is rigorously tested to ensure it can withstand tough environments, abuse, debris and dirt.”
