Henton & Chattell marks start of 95th anniversary celebrations with momentous expansions for Cobra

Henton & Chattell has announced a major wave of new product launches for 2026 for Cobra, reinforcing its position as one of the UK’s leading lawncare brands. The latest range expansion spans professional sports turf equipment, commercial mowing solutions, cordless rear-roller mowers and new electric roller machines, demonstrating Cobra’s continued commitment to innovation, lawn performance and dealer-backed reliability.

Backed by Henton & Chattell’s 95 years of garden machinery expertise, the new introductions reflect Cobra’s strategy to support homeowners, estates, contractors and grounds professionals with high-performance equipment designed for modern lawncare demands.

Among the most significant developments for 2026 is Cobra’s move into new professional segments with the introduction of its Fortis Stadium 34 professional cylinder mower and its first ever zero-turn and stand-on commercial mowers.

Designed for football pitches, cricket squares, golf facilities, bowls greens and sports academies, the Fortis Stadium 34 delivers precision cylinder cutting and the immaculate striped finish required for elite playing surfaces. Available in Honda petrol or EGO battery-powered versions, the Fortis Stadium 34 gives grounds teams flexibility while maintaining professional performance. The mower is also compatible with the Fortis Turf Management Cartridge System, allowing operators to switch between aeration, scarification, verticutting and brushing functions with a single machine.

Peter Chaloner, Managing Director of Cobra, said: “The Cobra range continues to grow year after year, but it’s particularly exciting to be expanding into new sectors such as professional sports turf and commercial mowing. With the Fortis Stadium and our new zero-turn and stand-on machines, we’re bringing Cobra’s reputation for reliability, precision and innovation to customers managing larger areas and professional landscapes.”

This year, Cobra will also be launching its first zero-turn and stand-on mowers. The new ZTR42L and ZTR50L zero-turn mowers deliver exceptional speed, manoeuvrability and productivity for contractors and estate managers maintaining large areas. Complementing these machines are the ZTS32L and ZTS36L stand-on mowers, designed for professional operators who require greater visibility and agility when navigating complex landscapes or working around obstacles.

Cobra has also expanded its ride-on portfolio with the addition of the LT74HRL Hydrostatic Lawn Rider, designed for homeowners managing larger.

Six new rear roller mowers will be added to the range, including the cordless RM4340VX, RM43SP40VX and RM51SP80VX powered by the 40V MAX+ lithium-ion system, as well as the GTRM electric roller range with the GTRM340, GTRM370 and GTRM400 offer varying widths for different garden sizes, combining rotary cutting with Cobra’s signature rear roller for professional-quality stripes in a lightweight, easy-to-use design.
