MAKITA XGT
Frequently asked questions
Common questions about MAKITA XGT from 3G Electric.
What is the Makita XGT platform and how does it differ from Makita LXT?
Makita XGT is a 40V max cordless tool system, while LXT is an 18V system. XGT tools use a different battery interface and are not compatible with LXT batteries. XGT is designed for higher-demand applications such as rotary hammers, large circular saws, and demolition tools, where the 40V platform can deliver more power and longer runtime than 18V equivalents. Both platforms use brushless motors and electronic controls, but XGT batteries are physically larger and have higher voltage. Users should not attempt to interchange batteries between XGT and LXT tools.
What are the specifications of the Makita XGT GRH06PM rotary hammer?
The GRH06PM is a 40V DC hammer-only rotary hammer with SDS-Max bit retention. It delivers 15.7 ft-lb of impact energy and a blow rate of 1,100 to 2,250 bpm. It accepts SDS-Max bits up to 6-1/4 inches in diameter. The tool is designed for concrete drilling and chipping applications. It requires a 40V max XGT battery and charger, which may be sold separately. For detailed dimensions, weight, and vibration data, refer to the manufacturer's specifications or contact 3G Electric for the product datasheet.
What is the airflow rating of the Makita XGT GBU01Z blower?
The GBU01Z handheld blower delivers up to 565 cfm of air volume. It uses a brushless motor and is part of the 40V max XGT platform. It is intended for clearing leaves, dust, and light debris in landscaping, construction, and facility maintenance. The blower is typically sold as a tool-only unit, so battery and charger must be ordered separately unless a kit is specified. For runtime estimates, refer to Makita's battery runtime charts or contact 3G Electric with your intended application.
Are Makita XGT batteries interchangeable with other Makita tools?
No. XGT 40V max batteries are only compatible with XGT tools. They cannot be used in Makita 18V LXT tools or other voltage platforms. Within the XGT line, batteries are interchangeable across XGT tools, provided the tool's voltage and current requirements are met. XGT batteries are available in several capacities, such as 2.5 Ah, 4.0 Ah, and 5.0 Ah, and higher-capacity packs may be available. Always confirm the battery model and capacity are suitable for the specific tool and application.
Does 3G Electric supply Makita XGT tools and batteries worldwide?
Yes. 3G Electric supplies Makita XGT cordless tools and batteries to industrial and commercial buyers globally. The catalog includes rotary hammers, blowers, and other XGT tools, with part numbers and specifications listed. 3G Electric provides product data, stock availability, and logistics coordination for international shipments. Buyers can request quotes for specific models, quantities, and battery configurations. For current availability and lead times, contact 3G Electric with your requirements.
What should I consider when specifying a Makita XGT rotary hammer for concrete drilling?
When specifying an XGT rotary hammer such as the GRH06PM, consider the required bit diameter, drilling depth, and concrete hardness. The GRH06PM accepts SDS-Max bits up to 6-1/4 inches and delivers 15.7 ft-lb of impact energy, making it suitable for medium to heavy concrete drilling and chipping. Confirm whether a hammer-only or combination hammer is needed, as hammer-only tools cannot drill without impact. Also verify battery compatibility and runtime for the expected workload. For application-specific recommendations, consult 3G Electric with your project details.
