MAKITA OFFERS VISION OF CORDLESS FUTURE WITH THE NEW XGT® AND EXPANDED LXT

The New 40Vmax standalone system will stand side-by-side
with industry-leading LXT ® System. 

Since the Launch of 18V LXT in 2005, Makita has been leading the way in Cordless Tool innovation and technology.  18V LXT provides consumers with not only the largest range on one battery, it also provides consumers with the most reliable and efficient tools available. 
 

Our vision as a Company is to provide consumers with a battery solution for all applications across Building Construction, Industrial, Outdoor Power Equipment and Commercial Cleaning Channels.
 

In keeping with our vision.  Makita is ready to lead the way once again in 2019, we are excited to announcement the launch of our new XGT 40V battery system that will coexist with LXT and continue towards our vision of a battery solution for all applications!

Makita will continue to invest heavily in LXT, and there is a tremendous roadmap of new LXT products in the pipeline for trade users in all segments. The LXT Advantage seamlessly utilises a single battery across hundreds of products, with the ability of added power by using two 18 volt batteries in select products with X2. This is a simple concept that has revolutionised how work is done on job sites.

The introduction of a charging adaptor has enabled consumers to charge both LXT and XGT batteries when using the XGT charger.
