The Echo RP-1200 is a fully autonomous golf ball picker built for high-traffic driving ranges that need reliable, low-cost operation every day. It collects up to 12,500 balls per day across five to six acres, returning automatically to charge between runs.
Quiet, efficient, and safe on turf, the RP-1200 keeps ranges clear without manual labour. Groundtech supplies full UK installation, setup, and service packages, ensuring every system is configured to match the layout and demands of your site.
The Echo RP-1200 is designed for golf facilities that demand efficiency without compromising turf quality. Its 24/7 autonomous operation and high-capacity design make it capable of collecting up to 12,500 balls per day over a working area of up to six acres. Once its basket is full, it automatically returns to the charging station to unload and recharge before heading back out.
A 320–350 ball onboard basket and advanced navigation system keep the RP-1200 working systematically across the range. It covers the full area evenly, adjusting routes automatically to maintain consistent pickup performance. The smooth, low-pressure tyres and gentle brush mechanism prevent any turf damage, even in wet conditions.
Operating at just 61 dB, the RP-1200 can work continuously without disturbing lessons or nearby residents. Its electric drivetrain consumes around 680 kWh per year — up to eight times cheaper to run than a petrol-driven picker, with zero emissions and minimal maintenance.
The RP-1200 is controlled via the Echo app or online portal, giving operators live access to performance data, scheduling, and manual commands when needed. Groundtech’s UK installation team configures each unit to match site layouts, ensuring accurate navigation and efficient coverage from day one.

Engineered to not only save on fuel and staff hours, GroundTech’s robotic solutions deliver a precise cut and quality finish worthy of first-class sport or picture-postcard experiences.
The hood and main body of the robot is insulated to deliver efficiency and effectiveness with minimal noise – ideal for working at night or in built up areas with no disruption.
The robot consumes up to 90% less energy than a standard mower. In addition, the clippings returned to the surface can also reduce the requirement for fertiliser and other chemical applications.
Mowing more frequently and consistently will being multiple benefits to the turf surface. A ‘little and often’ approach improves presentation, increases sward density & prevents weed ingress.
