Since 1975, Shindaiwa has concentrated on 2-cycle engine technology. Today the best 2-cycle and micro 4-cycle engineers in the world work for Shindaiwa to design the best power equipment available for you.

Shindaiwa Technology

Shindaiwa products represent the latest in 2-cycle and micro 4-cycle engine technologies, reflected by outstanding power-to-weight ratios and features that promote longer unit life, quieter operation and reduced exhaust emission. We solicit user and dealer input on product performance, comfort, and safety. Then, we build our equipment to the tightest tolerances in the industry. And, each unit is run and carefully adjusted before it leaves our factory.

The Displacement Myth

Some manufacturers would have you believe that the only way to a powerful engine is large displacement. But at Shindaiwa, we know that compression, port size and shape, carburetion, and a host of other factors come into play as well. That's why our machines deliver more horsepower per unit of displacement than our competitors'. To get equivalent power from them, you have to buy a unit with a bigger, heavier engine that consumes more fuel, generates more emissions, and is, often, more costly.

We dare you to compare Shindaiwa's impressive standard features and reliability against models of equivalent horsepower. We know you'll appreciate how much lighter, easier, and more efficient is a Shindaiwa.

Shindaiwa Products with a Custom Feel

Shindaiwa matches components to the machine for a custom-built feeling from every product. We don't use the same components throughout our line like other manufacturers might. Our engineers design each product individually. They specify all the required components from shafts and outer tubes to carburetors and pistons, to handles in order to match the workload of the machine. You get the lightest, strongest, most powerful machines possible. So, if your Shindaiwa feels custom built just for you, that's what our engineers intended.

For you and the environment, they are the clear choice.
