RC Mowers, makers of remote-operated robotic mowers, today announced it has recently added several new dealers to its already vast network of dealers across the US. The company has recently added Owen Equipment for Washington and Oregon, Jet Vac Environmental for Illinois and Red Equipment for Kansas and Missouri.
These dealers join 23 other dealers around the US, Canada, and Australia that represent RC Mowers remote-operated robotic mowers. The company’s robotic mowers are best known for mowing steep slopes, hazardous terrain, around retention ponds and levees, and through thick brush.
With RC Mowers remote-operated robotic mowers in their equipment line-up, commercial landscapers can minimize safety liabilities, add high-value services, reduce labor costs and increase profitability. The mowers are also used by public works departments; city, county, state and federal park systems; and city, county and state road departments.
RC Mowers has more than 25 employees and its dealer network extends the company’s personalized customer service by enabling it to address purchasing and servicing requests quickly. The dealers are carefully selected, provided with extensive training, and supported by RC Mowers during the entire sales and post-sales process. All mowers offered by RC Mowers are 100% manufactured and serviced in the USA, have a 30-day buy-back guarantee, and come with a 72-hour parts shipping guarantee.
“Our dealers are an integral part of our business, and we ensure they receive superb training,” said Tim Kubista, VP of sales and marketing for RC Mowers. “We are excited to now have dealers to represent our popular remote-operated robotic mowers on the West Coast so that organizations there can more easily purchase them and enjoy the ROI of having them in their fleets.”
RC Mowers offers three tracked mowers, and they work in sun, rain and snow, as well as in wet and muddy conditions. A rugged and water-resistant commercial-grade remote control is included with each robotic mower and most operators can learn how to use it in minutes. The mowers have several integrated safety features, are tested regularly, and comply with, or exceed, ISO and ANSI standards.
