At Powerbase® Lawn Mower, Strimmer, Cordless Lawnmower, we are dedicated to providing high-quality, innovative lawn care products to help you maintain a beautiful outdoor space. Our range of cordless and electric lawn mowers, strimmers, hedge trimmers, chainsaws, and other garden power tools are designed for ease of use and reliability.
Our History
Established in 2005, Powerbase originally focused on manufacturing a range of petrol lawn mowers and garden power tools. As technology advanced, we shifted our focus to developing a wide selection of cordless garden tools that allow the freedom to maintain your garden without the restraints of cords and cables.
In 2010, we launched our first collection of cordless lawn mowers that utilised interchangeable lithium-ion battery technology. This allowed gardeners to use the same battery across multiple tools, increasing efficiency. The cordless range was an instant success amongst consumers looking for the latest in hassle-free, environmentally friendly garden gadgets.
Over the years, we have continued to expand our cordless power tool offerings. Today, the Powerbase range includes lawn mowers, strimmers, hedge trimmers, chainsaws, leaf blowers, vacuums, and more. Our interchangeable battery system means you can power through garden tasks with ease.
While advancing our cordless technology, we have also maintained and improved our petrol lawn mowers which are powerful, durable and provide the traditional feel that some gardeners still prefer.
No matter your needs, our goal at Powerbase is to provide you with the tools to maintain your outdoor space efficiently. We continuously innovate in order to bring you the latest in garden power tool technology.

Our Technology
At Powerbase, innovation is at the heart of what we do. Our in-house research and development team is made up of experienced engineers and designers focused on pushing the boundaries of cordless tool technology.
Here are some of our key technological achievements:
- Lithium-ion batteries – We utilise high-capacity lithium-ion battery cells from trusted suppliers like Samsung and Panasonic for optimal power and run times.
- Brushless motors – Our tools feature efficient brushless motors that provide more torque and longer runtimes than brushed motors.
- Interchangeable batteries – All of our 20V, 40V and 80V cordless tools run off of the same removable battery packs so you can swap between tools.
- Carbon fibre shafts – Found on our trimmers and hedge cutters, these lightweight shafts reduce fatigue during prolonged use.
- Weather resistance – Our tools are designed to withstand the elements with water-resistant bodies, casings and seals.
- Low noise outputs – Through mufflers and insulated motor housings, our tools operate with minimal noise pollution.
We hold over 20 patents on innovative technologies found throughout our Powerbase garden tool range. Our team is always developing the next advancement to continue pushing the limits.
