Briggs & Stratton, a leading manufacturer of commercial power solutions, has expanded its Vanguard engine lineup with the launch of the new Vanguard 300 single-cylinder horizontal shaft engine. This innovative engine packs a powerful punch, boasting 307cc and 10.0 Gross HP, making it a formidable choice for a wide range of demanding applications.
The Vanguard 300 is designed to outperform the competition in overall performance, rugged power, and lower maintenance, ultimately leading to a lower total cost of ownership. Its addition to the single-cylinder lineup enables Vanguard to offer original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) the ability to power their entire product line with a single, reliable engine brand.
The Vanguard 300 is ideal for applications including:
* High-pressure pumps and pressure washers
* Generators and hydraulic power packs
* Wood splitters and chippers
* Leaf vacuums and blowers
* Concrete trowels
* Saws
* Trenchers
“Our horizontal engine lineup and our customers just gained a major asset with the addition of the Vanguard 300,” says Chris Davison, Senior Director of Product and Brand Management – Utility at Briggs & Stratton. “We’ve taken the cutting-edge technology our single-cylinder engines are known for and optimized it for a power range our commercial users have been asking for. The Vanguard 300 embodies our commitment to pushing boundaries while delivering what our customers rely on in a power source — robust performance, enhanced efficiency, and tested reliability.”
Cutting-Edge Features for Superior Performance and Durability
The Vanguard 300 is packed with cutting-edge features designed with customer input in mind, delivering superior power and durability:
*
Advanced Cold Start:
The engine’s mechanical compression release and choke are optimized for improved cold-weather starting down to 0°F (-17.78°C). Operators will benefit from reliable starting and smooth running operation over a wide range of loads thanks to the optimized carburetor.*
TransportGuard® with 3-in-1 Controls:
The Vanguard 300 features exclusive TransportGuard technology, a solution to a common industry pain point. Machine operators may neglect to shut off the fuel during transport, ultimately leading to engine failure. To combat this, Vanguard developed a user-friendly 3-in-1 control lever that integrates a single-action fuel and ignition shut-off switch to prevent the mixing of fuel and oil during transport. TransportGuard helps reduce unscheduled oil changes and ensures equipment is ready when operators need it, minimizing downtime and increasing ROI.*
Cyclonic Air Filtration:
Standard on all Vanguard single-cylinder engines, the Cyclonic Air Filtration doubles equipment air-filter replacement intervals to 600 hours, helping to cut down on maintenance and improve equipment uptime. The innovative self-cleaning technology is designed to catch more debris and keep particles moving. This prevents clogs and helps to prolong the life of the engine while maximizing performance.The entire Vanguard single-cylinder engine lineup is backed by an industry-leading three-year commercial limited warranty plus one warranty bonus year when an engine is registered.
