The Electric Revolution on the Turf:

Landscape care today — whether on the golf course, the sports field or in municipal parks — is undergoing fundamental change. Demands for sustainability, noise control and operating-cost efficiency keep rising. With ELiTE lithium technology (powered by Samsung SDI), Ransomes and Jacobsen are setting new benchmarks, proving that electric drive no longer means compromising on performance.

Why electric? More than just a “green” conscience

Switching to electric drive offers far more than simply cutting emissions. For greenkeepers, it brings tangible operational benefits:

With many models (such as the Eclipse 360 or SLF1) doing away with hydraulic systems, the risk of oil leaks onto valuable turf drops to zero. Classic maintenance work typical of conventional combustion engines is also eliminated.

Mowing-intensive work can be carried out in the early morning or late evening without disturbing residents or hotel guests — a decisive advantage on golf courses and in urban parks or hotel grounds.

Electric drives allow extremely fine control of cutting frequency, resulting in a more even cut.

The Eclipse 360 is the flagship for the finest turf. Without a single drop of hydraulic oil in the system, it offers maximum safety for the sensitive green.

Thanks to individual control of the cutting units and the drive system, the machine can be perfectly tuned to course conditions.

A single battery charge can mow more than 50 greens — far exceeding the requirements of most facilities.

The SLF1 is the world's first fully electric “super-light” five-spindle mower. It combines an enormous working width with extremely low ground pressure.

Ideal for fairways and sports fields, where soil compaction must be avoided.

With a runtime of over 5.5 hours per charge, it handles large areas with ease. Thanks to all-wheel drive (3WD), it also confidently tackles demanding terrain.

As a powerful rotary mower (Outfront Rotary Mower), the Aurora ELiTE is the answer to the tough demands of municipal work and large sports grounds.

With a working width of 1.52 m and full road approval, it's perfect for quickly switching between different locations around town or on site.

It's built on the proven HR380 chassis and delivers the Ransomes sturdiness you'd expect, paired with the low running costs (up to 80% savings versus diesel) of electric drive.

Conclusion for the greenkeeper

Electrification is no longer a thought for the future — it's already a reality in golf course and municipal machinery. Combining the proven cut quality of Jacobsen and Ransomes with reliable Samsung SDI lithium technology gives greenkeepers a tool that not only protects the environment but also eases daily work and lowers operating costs in the long run.
