Stanley Black & Decker Equip Expo 2026 Showcases DEWALT, Cub Cadet and Hustler

Stanley Black & Decker is bringing new outdoor power equipment and professional landscaping solutions to Equip Expo 2026, with its DEWALT, Cub Cadet and Hustler brands showcasing products for contractors, landscapers, arborists and property owners.

The event, taking place in Louisville, Kentucky, from October 21 to 23, gives the company an opportunity to present developments across battery-powered handheld tools, zero-turn mowers and stand-on commercial mowing equipment. The portfolio reflects the growing importance of equipment that combines performance, operator comfort and productivity for outdoor maintenance businesses.

DEWALT and Cub Cadet will anchor the company’s outdoor presence, while Hustler will showcase its commercial mowing range, including an expanded Surfer stand-on mower series. The announcements highlight Stanley Black & Decker’s focus on serving professional users across different outdoor work requirements.

Stanley Black & Decker Equip Expo 2026 Highlights DEWALT Battery-Powered Tools

DEWALT will showcase its 60V MAX commercial handheld equipment alongside tools designed for landscaping, hardscaping, installation work and arboriculture. The range includes a 60V MAX Earth Auger, a 60V MAX PowerShift Concrete Saw, a 20V MAX Compact Hedge Trimmer and Pruner, as well as professional arborist equipment such as top-handle chainsaws, pole saws and brush saws.

The company will also present string trimmers, hedge trimmers and blowers, highlighting its battery-powered options for outdoor professionals. A unified battery platform can help businesses simplify equipment management, although runtime, charging requirements and tool compatibility remain important considerations when selecting products for commercial use.

DEWALT is also previewing its 2X20V MAX XR 21-inch rear-wheel-drive self-propelled lawn mower kit ahead of a planned November 2026 launch. The residential mower is designed with a robust deck, Extreme X-Blades and a striping kit. Stanley Black & Decker says it can deliver up to 90 minutes of runtime under specified testing conditions.

The preview extends DEWALT’s outdoor equipment portfolio beyond handheld tools and into residential lawn care, offering another option for users looking to adopt battery-powered equipment.

Stanley Black & Decker Equip Expo 2026 Features Cub Cadet Zero-Turn Mowers

Cub Cadet will present products spanning its Ultima Series and commercial-grade zero-turn mower lineup. The range is designed to serve different mowing needs, from residential properties to larger commercial applications.

A central feature of the showcase is Synchro-Steer technology, Cub Cadet’s proprietary steering system designed to deliver zero-turn manoeuvrability through a steering wheel rather than conventional lap-bar controls. The brand says the system can manage hills of up to 25 degrees on applicable models.

The company will also highlight operator comfort and control, including premium seating, easier access and configurations that offer either lap-bar or steering-wheel operation. These features can be relevant to professionals who spend extended periods operating mowing equipment.

Visitors will also be able to take part in Cub Cadet’s Enduro Challenge, with an Ultima ZTXS Synchro-Steer zero-turn mower and other prizes available under the promotion’s official rules.

Stanley Black & Decker Equip Expo 2026 Expands Hustler Surfer Series

Hustler’s commercial mowing display will be led by its Surfer stand-on mower range. Following the earlier introduction of the Surfer X, the lineup now includes the Surfer XL, Surfer XD and Surfer XDX, extending the brand’s offerings for landscaping companies and commercial contractors.

The Surfer Series includes adjustable hip pads intended to improve operator comfort during long working days, along with commercial-grade components designed for demanding, year-round use. An optional accessory allows operators to switch between single-bar and dual-bar drive-control configurations according to their preferences.

The mowers also feature a one-piece fabricated frame measuring 1.5 by 3 inches and fabricated steel decks, which Hustler positions as part of the range’s durability-focused design.

Other products on display will include the FasTrak X, FasTrak XD and Raptor XDX. The lineup gives visitors an opportunity to compare different mowing formats and equipment designed for varied property sizes and commercial workloads.

Hustler will also run its Surf the Turf Mower Giveaway, offering eligible attendees a chance to win one of three Surfer Series stand-on mowers. Entry is scheduled for October 21 and 22, with the drawing set for October 22, subject to the official eligibility requirements.

Stanley Black & Decker Equip Expo 2026 Connects Equipment With Professional Needs

The company’s presence at Equip Expo reflects the different requirements of outdoor maintenance businesses. Landscapers may need handheld tools for trimming and clearing, while contractors working on hardscaping projects may require specialised equipment such as concrete saws and earth augers. Mowing businesses, meanwhile, often prioritise cutting performance, manoeuvrability, durability and operator comfort.

Presenting these products at one event allows professional users to examine equipment, speak with brand representatives and compare options for their operations. Live demonstrations can also help buyers assess how machines handle in practice, beyond what specifications alone can communicate.

For battery-powered tools, factors such as charging infrastructure, workload, battery availability and operating time can influence total ownership costs. For commercial mowers, terrain, cutting width, maintenance requirements and operator preferences can be equally important.

The three brands approach these needs from different positions, while operating within Stanley Black & Decker’s broader Tools and Outdoor business.

Stanley Black & Decker Equip Expo 2026 Puts Outdoor Innovation on Display

Equip Expo is a major meeting point for the outdoor power equipment and landscaping industries, bringing manufacturers and professional users together to explore products, services and working practices.

At the 2026 event, Stanley Black & Decker is emphasising battery-powered equipment, expanded mower ranges and features intended to support productivity in professional outdoor work. DEWALT’s portfolio covers handheld tools and residential lawn care, Cub Cadet is focusing on zero-turn mowing, and Hustler is expanding its stand-on commercial offerings.

The practical value of these developments will depend on how well the equipment meets the needs of individual users, including performance, operating costs and service support. The exhibition provides an opportunity for professionals to evaluate those factors directly as they consider equipment for their businesses.
