{"product_id":"makita-gcu03t","title":"Makita GCU03T — 40V max XGT® Brushless Cordless 16\" Top Handle Chain Saw Kit (5.0Ah)","description":"\u003cp\u003eThere is growing demand for cordless alternatives to gas-powered outdoor power equipment. Makita is meeting demand with an expanding line of cordless OPE, including the 40V XGT® 16” Top Handle Chain Saw (GCU03). With zero emissions, lower noise, and considerably less maintenance than gas-powered chain saws, the GCU03 is a welcome solution for cutting and trimming applications. It is ideal for use by a professional arborist with up to 25% faster speed than equivalent gas-powered saws, with a high power-to-weight ratio designed for in-tree work.\n\nPowered by one 40V XGT® battery for maximum power, speed and run-time, the GCU03 is easy to start by simply loading the 40V XGT® Battery and powering on. The GCU03 has a variable speed trigger and high chain speed (0-4,882 FPM) for improved cutting performance.\n\nIt has zero emissions and reduced maintenance: there's no engine oil to change, no spark plug to replace, no air filter or muffler to clean, and there's no need to drain the fuel for storage. The Makita-built brushless motor provides power equivalent to a 30cc gas top handle chain saw.\n\nOther convenience features include adjustable automatic chain lubrication, built-on lock-off lever to help prevent the chain from accidentally engaging, an electric brake for maximum productivity, and more.\n\nXGT® is a system of equipment, tools, batteries, and chargers utilizing 40v max lithium-ion batteries. XGT® is engineered to deliver high power to take on high-demand applications, allowing users to completely transition to a cordless job site. XGT® is equipped with advanced brushless motor engineering, intelligent digital communication, and superior durability features to outpower, outsmart and outlast the rest.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOUTPOWER: Makita-built brushless motor provides power equivalent to a 30cc gas top handle chain saw\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOUTSMART: Up to 25% faster than gas*\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOUTLAST: Up to 400 cuts in 4x4 cedar with two 40V max XGT® 5.0Ah batteries\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProfessional arborist chain saw with high power-to-weight ratio designed for in-tree work\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNo gas, emissions, oil mixing or pull starts\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh performance with low noise levels\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReduced maintenance lowers operating costs and minimizes down time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVariable speed trigger and high chain speed (0-4,882 FPM) for improved cutting performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCaptured bar nut and lateral chain tensioning for convenient operation and maintenance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Equivalency (cc Gas) : 30\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eProduct Type (CS, PS) : Top handle, Captured Bar Nut\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGuide Bar Length : 16\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePitch : 3\/8\" LP\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGauge : .043\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChain Speed : 4,882 FPM\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet Weight (with battery) : 10.1 lbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNet Weight (without battery) : 7.2 lbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eShipping Weight : 19.04 lbs.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandle Type (Chainsaws) : Top handle\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBattery : 40V max XGT® Lithium-Ion\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower Type : Cordless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMotor Type : Brushless\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eUPC Code : 197050-006219\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaged Width (in) : 20.2\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePackaged Depth (in) : 10.28\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/www.makitatools.com\/products\/details\/GCU03T\"\u003eView manufacturer product information\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Makita","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67725769867554,"sku":"GCU03T","price":0.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0674\/5712\/2594\/files\/Makita_20BL4050F_20Product_20Shot_c8bd4358-8cd3-457b-941d-fd98225d97fe.jpg?v=1793915358","url":"https:\/\/procontractorsupplyinc.com\/products\/makita-gcu03t","provider":"ProContractor Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
