Why do we use Strenx® 700 Steel?

As a manufacturer of heavy-duty machinery for landscape maintenance, we know one thing for certain: durability matters. Our machines are built to tackle the toughest environments – whether it’s overgrown vegetation, rocky terrain, or demanding daily use. That’s why we never compromise on the materials we use.

To ensure maximum strength and reliability, we’ve chosen Strenx® 700 high-strength structural steel as a core material in many of our machines. It’s one of the strongest steel types in the world – and it plays a crucial role in delivering both performance and longevity to our customers.

Built to Withstand: The Power of Strenx® 700 Steel

Strenx® 700 is a high-performance structural steel made by SSAB in Sweden, a global leader in advanced steel production. The “700” refers to its yield strength of 700 MPa, meaning it can withstand 700 megapascals of pressure without permanent deformation. In simple terms, this steel resists bending, twisting, or breaking – even under extreme stress.

This level of strength is exactly what’s needed for components exposed to repeated impact or constant straining, such as the frames of our flail mowers or the arms of our Scorpion boom mowers.

Strength Meets Efficiency: Lighter Machines, Better Performance

Durability is one thing – but efficiency is another. A common misconception is that stronger machines must be heavier. But Strenx® 700 turns that idea on its head.

Thanks to its superior strength-to-weight ratio, using Strenx® 700 has allowed us to reduce the weight of our Scorpion boom mower by 25%, and increasing durability. Lighter machinery means:

• Less strain on tractors and towing vehicles
• Lower fuel consumption
• Easier handling and transportation

This combination of strength and lightness is what makes Strenx® 700 steel the perfect match for our high-performance landscape equipment.

Certified Quality: “My Inner Strenx®” Partner Since 2019

Since 2019, we’ve been a certified My Inner Strenx® partner, a program by SSAB that recognizes manufacturers who meet the highest standards in design and production using Strenx® steel.

This certification is more than a badge – it’s a guarantee of quality, safety, and performance. It ensures that every machine we build meets strict criteria for strength, precision, and longevity.

Why It Matters for Our Flail Mowers

Our flail mowers face some of the harshest conditions: dense vegetation, hidden rocks, and constant wear. The core frame and turbine of the mower must be incredibly strong to maintain performance and protect critical components.

We’ve engineered the turbine system to mimic a jet engine, optimizing airflow to pull grass into the flails for a clean, consistent cut. This airflow system depends on an undamaged structure – if it’s dented or warped, performance will drop. Strenx® 700’s exceptional durability protects this system, ensuring long-term cutting efficiency and minimal downtime.

Why We Choose Strenx® 700

When you’re relying on a machine to perform in tough conditions, you need to know it won’t let you down. By using Strenx® 700 steel, we’re making sure our machines are:

• Stronger
• Lighter
• More efficient
• Built to last

For us, quality isn’t just about the final product – it’s about every decision that goes into making it. And choosing Strenx® 700 high-strength steel is one of the most important decisions we’ve made.
