ECHO Robotics RP-1250 GPS-RTK Rangepicker
Automate ball collection on the driving range
The dream team for greenkeepers
A nurtured driving range commands the respect of players and guarantees the image of the club. It is therefore necessary to organise a regular golf course mowing system combined with efficient ball collection.
This is the role of the robots: while the ECHO Robotics Mower maintains the grass, the Rangepicker takes care of collecting the balls.
So, the robots free up your staff to perform various other tasks. Furthermore, the players will be able to continue their course unhindered in a quality, innovative club.
The Rangepicker method
The RP-1250 with GPS-RTK technology is the first ball catcher capable of work as efficiently as possible.
GPS-RTK technology allows the robot to follow a defined collection pattern, optimizing the working times and all without disturbing the players on the Driving Range.
Performance and connectivity
The Rangepicker is a technological marvel. It manages areas of 30,000 or even 35,000 m² thanks to its collection width of 95.6 cm (37.60 inches).
For each cycle, it can absorb an average of 300 balls on golf courses that have a slope of up to 30 %, and detecting obstacles by sonars. A complete charging of its LiFePO4 type batteries takes barely 80 minutes.
For the sake of connectivity, the Rangepicker can be integrated into your fleet that you can remotely control.
- Management via an app for tablet and smartphone
- Anti-theft solution for geofencing alert
- Maintenance history for guaranteed proactivity
Quiet running and ball protection
What would you say to owning quiet-running equipment to obtain a more effective result?
The "Golf" TM-2050 GPS-RTK can mow golf driving ranges without destroying balls due to patented protection discs which keeps the balls away from the cutting blades. This is a world exclusive.
The Rangepicker is virtually inaudible from a few metres away (max. 52 dB) and does not cause any disturbance. Thanks to its limited weight (72 kg), it never pushes balls into the ground.
You will therefore benefit from an exclusive and patented collection system that recovers all the balls and then takes care of them.
- Works quietly and with a cruising speed of 3.6 km/h
- Saves thousands of balls that are always recovered
- Robust equipment and patented collection system
Respect the environment and take a sustainable approach
Golf and nature are, of course, inextricably linked.
The ECHO Robotics robots have a low electrical consumption (580 kWh/year on average) and have 10 times lower CO2 emission than equivalent combustion engine machines.
With the combination of TM-2050 GPS-RTK Mower and RP-1250 GPS-RTK Rangepicker enable the spreading of chemical fertiliser to be reduced significantly and for balls to be collected efficiently, without practically any human intervention.
- Releases 10 x lower CO2 emissions*
- No noise disruption: maximum 52 dB A
- Sustainability policy for the club
The Connected Line - GPS RTK
All the advantages of our connected robots in addition to some new features with the robots equipped with a GPS RTK system. In addition to the equipment needed for a connected line unit, the following equipment is required to benefit from these innovative features
- A Robot
- A docking station
- GPS RTK base with Wifi
- GPS RTK License
The robot is now able to:
- Mow in a pattern mode: say goodbye to random lines, your field can now be mown in straight lines.
- Triple the mowing capacity: with its cutting edge new technology, the robot’s performance is enhanced, it takes less time to mow entirely a sport field, leaving the pitch available for the players for a longer period, the single machine can now take care of more areas.
- Enhance its ball collecting capacity: with the pattern mode, the ballpicker is now able to collect and navigate to the drop pit in a much faster mode.
THE FUTURE OF TURF MANAGEMENT
IT BEARS REPEATING
ECHO Robotics is part of ECHO Incorporated, a worldwide leader in professional-grade outdoor power equipment for more than 40 years. Through forward-thinking market research, engineering expertise and acknowledgment of customer needs, we’ve innovated upon and pioneered ground-breaking products—moving sports-turf and driving-range management into a new era.
BUILT ON INNOVATION
ECHO Incorporated started in Northbrook, IL where it originally imported high-performance 2-cycle engines and hand-held products manufactured by Kioritz Corporation of Japan. Before long, ECHO Incorporated developed its first lawn care product and then broadened its offerings and eventually expanded into robotic mowers with Echo Robotics. With robotic mowers installed on sports fields, golf courses, gardens, and industrial sites, Echo Robotics is the global leader in commercial robotic mowing and ball picking—delivering consistent cut-quality for healthier turf, around your schedule, without you ever having to set foot on it.
Centaur Asia Pacific is the distributor for ECHO Robotics range of products in Hong Kong, Macau, Singapore, Malaysia, Vietnam and Cambodia.
