ELIET E401 Petrol Scarifier (B&S Engine)

Professional Dethatching Power for Healthier Lawns

The ELIET E401 Dethatching Machine is built for homeowners and professionals who want reliable lawn restoration in small to medium gardens. Its compact working width provides excellent manoeuvrability, allowing precise control around borders, trees, and tight spaces. The machine is constructed with a robust steel frame designed to withstand frequent and demanding use. Even when used in rental environments, it maintains durability and consistent performance. The blade shaft is housed within thick protective steel, helping shield the user and surroundings from debris during operation.

Permanently Sharp Blades for Continuous Efficiency

The E401 is equipped with ELIET Permanently Sharp Blades™, engineered to maintain cutting quality without frequent sharpening. The fixed blade system ensures consistent dethatching performance across every use. With a 40 cm working width, the rotor holds 14 securely mounted blades, each featuring two sharpened cutting edges. The blades are arranged in a spiral pattern, preventing them from contacting the ground simultaneously. This reduces stress on the lawn surface, improves efficiency, and prevents tearing of grass roots. As a result, the machine removes thatch effectively while preserving lawn health.

Smooth and Stable Movement Across Uneven Ground

The machine is fitted with large 20 cm wheels that provide smooth movement over uneven or textured soil. Larger wheels reduce rolling resistance, making the machine easier to push and guide during longer sessions. The nylon wheel rims are shock-resistant, supporting performance on rougher surfaces. The sealed roller bearings are designed to withstand dusty and sandy conditions, helping maintain smooth wheel motion throughout extended use. This ensures reliability and ease of handling, even in challenging garden conditions.

Accurate Height Adjustment for Ideal Results

The infinitely variable front wheel adjustment system allows precise control over working depth. Each front wheel can be adjusted individually, ensuring the blade shaft maintains correct depth across the full width. The rear wheels can be set to multiple fixed height positions, enabling continued use as blades wear over time. These combined depth adjustment options ensure optimal dethatching performance while extending blade lifespan and maintaining consistent lawn quality.

Efficient Debris Collection for Cleaner Work

For cleaner operation, the E401 includes a large 60-litre collection bag. The wide opening promotes efficient filling while reducing blockages. This large capacity allows continuous work before emptying, improving productivity. When operating without the bag, the large rubber deflector directs raked debris downward and away from the operator, preventing dust and moss from being thrown upward.

Designed for Durability and Convenient Storage

The machine features vertical belt tensioning, helping the belt maintain natural alignment during use. This reduces unnecessary wear and significantly extends belt lifespan. The fold-down handlebar allows compact storage, making it easy to place in sheds, garages, or transport vehicles without occupying excess space. Every component is engineered for reliability, user safety, and long-term performance.
