Electric Grounds Equipment

Enjoy the relative quiet of electric grounds equipment on the Syracuse campus, and increasingly, at all ESF campuses.

 

Staff use the following electric equipment to maintain many campus spaces:

  • Leaf blowers (handheld and backpack)
  • String trimmers
  • Pole saw
  • Hedge trimmer
  • Push lawn mowers
  • Chainsaws
  • Snow blower

This transition to electric power equipment provides numerous benefits to campus, including reduced noise and air pollution, decreased stress on equipment operators and reduced fossil fuel usage.
