SEGWAY ESTABLISHES UK DISTRIBUTION

E.P. Barrus Ltd. has been appointed as the UK distributor for the new Segway range of Navimow robotic mowers.

Service Dealer reported the manufacturer's launch into the garden machinery sector last year.

E P Barrus say the mowers do not require the installation of boundary wires in the garden. The machines use a method called the Exact Fusion Locating System that utilises Real-Time Kinematics for positioning. They say "centimetre level accuracy" is achieved through a combination of a gyroscope, odometer, accelerometer and a magnetic compass.

The range consists of four models with cutting performance from 500m² to 3,000m² .

Phil Noble, divisional sales manager for the Lawn & Garden division of EP Barrus, said, “I am really pleased that we have been able to secure the distributorship of these exciting new products.

"I have been extremely impressed with the quality of the components and the support we are receiving from this technology giant, which has brought its knowledge of building technically advanced products to a robotic mower segment. I really do believe this is a game changer in the robotic mower market and it’s come at the right time as we have seen this market steadily rising in the UK in recent years.”
