About the AL-KO 38 E Electric Scarifier
AL KO 38 E Electric Scarifier: A Cleaner, Healthier Lawn Starts Here
A great lawn doesn’t happen by chance. Over time, moss, thatch, and compacted organic debris can block water, air, and nutrients from reaching the roots. This is where the AL KO 38 E comes in. Designed to scarify, rake, and collect in one streamlined unit, this impressive electric scarifier makes lawn care feel far more manageable. If you want a tidier, healthier lawn without the noise, fumes, or fuss of a petrol machine, the AL KO 38 E scarifier is for you.
Built in Germany and offering superb value for money, the AL KO 38 E is ideal for lawns up to 800m². It is lightweight, manoeuvrable, and easy to store, yet still tough enough to tackle stubborn moss and heavy thatch.
Efficient Electric Power with Practical Working Width
The ALKO 38E scarifier runs on a 1,300W electric motor, giving you quiet, consistent performance with zero emissions—ideal for use in residential areas. A 16m power cable is included as standard—more than enough for most lawn layouts. However, should you need even greater reach, we sell a 15m outdoor extension lead as an optional extra.
With a 38cm (15-inch) working width, the AL KO 38 E classic scarifier is perfectly suited to domestic lawns. It’s wide enough to cover ground quickly, yet sufficiently compact for neat steering around borders and garden features.
3-in-1 Lawn Care: Scarify, Rake, and Collect
One of the biggest advantages of the AL KO 38 E Electric Scarifier is its 3-in-1 capability. It is designed to scarify, rake, and collect, meaning you can improve lawn health while keeping the surface neat. This is especially useful in spring and autumn, when moss and organic debris build up most heavily.
The machine comes with interchangeable scarifying and lawn raking cassettes, which can quickly be swapped without the need for tools. This makes the AL KO 38E scarifier convenient for customers who want a simple approach to lawn care, rather than complicated adjustments and multiple machines.
The Scarifying and Lawn Raking Rollers
For tackling moss, weeds, and thatch, the scarifying roller uses 14 robust steel blades. These are designed for powerful performance and a long service life. As the roller passes over the lawn, it cuts into the surface and lifts out the material that blocks healthy growth.
When your lawn needs a gentler clean-up, the included raking roller offers a different style of care. It uses 24 steel spring tines that comb through the grass, removing loose debris and organic build-up. This is ideal after scarifying, or as a lighter treatment between deeper sessions.
5-Stage Depth Adjustment for Better Control
Different lawns need different treatment. Some areas may only require a light pass, while others demand deeper scarifying. To help you get the right result, the ALKO 38E’s working depth can be centrally adjusted through five stages, using a simple rotary dial.
This allows you to carry out your renovation work gradually, which is often the best approach to optimise lawn recovery.
Large Collection Box for a Cleaner Finish
The AL KO 38E scarifier includes a 55-litre collecting box, helping you keep the lawn tidy as you work. This reduces the amount of raking required afterwards and makes the whole process feel far more efficient.
Smooth Movement and Better Traction
This electric scarifier’s free-moving rear wheels are designed to prevent grass clumping. The result is improved traction and easier transportation. It’s a small detail, but one that clearly contributes to overall ease of use.
Comfortable Handling and Efficient Storage
A height-adjustable handlebar allows different users to comfortably maintain a healthy posture—ideal when carrying out intensive scarifying jobs. And to make storage simpler, the handlebar folds down neatly—perfect if space is limited in your garage or shed.

Great value for money! The 3 in One is lightweight and so easy to manage, the box is a bonus but does tip the balance of the machine when stopped to empty. I got used to this and would rather that than have to manoeuvre a heavier machine.
The machine comes with the scarifier bar attached and I had to change it for the rake bar, it was so easy to change. Overall, I am very pleased with the machine and look forward to seeing how it performs when scarifying and aerating my lawn. The cost of employing someone to do the work for me means that the machine will have paid for itself in less than one year!
George Tillier –
The design of this is exactly the same of a cheaper scarifier I bought from a French supermarket in the 90’s
The Alko has the same problem, it does not seem able to catch the moss in the collection bag meaning I have to rake the moss to dispose of it which should not be necessary if it worked correctly
Seems to be robustly made, however my cheap supermarket model lasted 30years

Well made and far more robust than my previous scarifier. I researched extensively before buying and wanted a machine that held a lot of grass and didn’t pop out every 5 secs. And this does exactly that. It is stronger and vigorous than the one before and . I made the mistake of starting it on a low setting and it ploughed the gras !! ( I didn’t have the height choice on my old one). Anyway I increased the height and it pulled out all the old dead thatch without tearing up the lawn. It’s surprisingly light and easy to manoeuvre too. Yes it’s expensive but does the job quickly and efficiently. I have no regrets

Really pleased with this machine. It does what it should efficiently and collects the debris very well. Surprising how much it does collect and how quickly the box fills up. Pleased with the order process and delivery as well. Quality seems good so I look forward to many years of service from it.
