[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]It saves you time, continues outdoor maintenance work come rain or shine, and acts with perfect precision across every inch of your commercial lawns and gardens.

While the benefits are clear, what many commercial clients struggle with is identifying the differences between the various robotic mowers available, and establishing which is best suited to their needs.

This is why we’ve created this short guide to choosing the right commercial mower for your business, whether you are looking for a mower for your own premises, or planning to use a robotic mower for precise mowing on behalf of your groundskeeping business.

Why commercial customers love the robotic mower

Most commercial customers who approach us at GroundTech are struggling with the mundanity of regular lawn mowing – a task which utilises manpower and takes up valuable time which could be spent on other more skilled projects.

Investing in a robotic mower alleviates the need to worry about lawn maintenance, with the mower able to work according to your ideal schedule. They can even work the night shift because they are incredibly quiet. As well as working smarter, they work greener – mulching lawn clippings back into the ground to improve regrowth and infuse the lawn with health and vitality. A robotic mower takes on arguably the blandest roles assigned to commercial groundskeepers – allowing you to focus on the tasks that matter.

So, now that you’re 100% sold on the concept, it’s time to talk options – namely, what to look for when choosing your ideal robotic mower.

Factors to consider when selecting the best robotic mower

There is no escaping the fact that a high quality robotic mower is a significant investment for your business. While it will inevitably save you time, money, and manpower in the long run, the upfront cost of the mower means that you don’t want to make the wrong choice when selecting the best model for you.

With that in mind, here are the top factors to consider as a commercial business searching for the best robotic mower investment.

The size of the lawn

The size of the lawn that you need to mow is arguably the most important factor to consider when selecting your robotic mower, as you need to identify the best tool to accommodate the size – covering the ground effectively.

For commercial groundskeepers seeking a robotic mower to optimise your service provision, relate this same consideration to the main bulk of your clients – whether you tend to work across sports fields and pitches, or on expansive estate grounds.

The terrain

Football pitches boast a very different terrain to country parks, with slopes and boundary lines all playing their part in creating obstacles and challenges for a robotic mower to overcome. Consider the terrain of the lawn you want to maintain when choosing a robotic mower, many of them can tackle a variety of obstacles.

The need for integrated features

How important is it for you to track the progress of your mower and ascertain its exact location?

How many cutting heads do you need your mower to have?

These are the types of questions that all commercial buyers should ask when selecting their mower, ensuring that they purchase a model with all the built-in features that will optimise the usability of their mower. Some of the most innovative features of our mowers include the ability to navigate back to its charging base upon completion of a task, and the precision with which lawns can be trimmed to your exact standards.
