• Safety sensors: four ultrasonic sensors, bump and lift sensors

• Security: bump and lift sensors trigger alarm, robot takes pictures, GPS tracking, and the robot can only operate from account assigned via Nexmow app

• Cutting height: 1.5 to 4 inches controlled via app

• Mowing direction: artificial Intelligence (AI) determines the most effective mowing direction when robots are deployed, but the operator has capability to override AI to change mow direction. Robot mows in stripes.

• Swappable battery: 778-watt lithium-ion battery

• Runtime: five to six hours

• Charge time: three hours for a full charge

• Battery cycle charge: rated at 700 or two years of daily usage

 Toro 60V Max Revolution Series

Handheld Tools

Toro’s new 60V Max Revolution Series Handheld Tools give users max convenience, max power and max run time along the way. The Revolution Series Handheld Tools were the first designed to work with a backpack power source. The game-changing addition ensures landscapers always have power on hand. It can hold two 10-Ah batteries at a time to keep Revolution trimmers and leaf blowers working all day long. Powered by Toro’s Flex-Force Power System, the Revolution Series delivers the same go-all-day power expected from gas. The 60-volt power comes to users fast, taking just 50 minutes to fully charge Toro’s largest battery in the all-new six-pod rapid charger. That outpaces the charging speed of larger, lower-voltage batteries.

 Verizon Connect AI Dashcam

The Verizon Connect Dashcam utilizes advanced AI to enable real-time detection of potentially dangerous driving events and to boost driver safety. It’s powered with camera AI technology and edge computing, enabling continuous live scene analysis and object detection so that drivers can be alerted to risk in real time. Machine learning and cloud-based AI technology is used to distill large amounts of video data into video tags and insights for customers. The AI technology detects and gives real-time in-cab alerts to protect drivers from unsafe driving behavior. Verizon Connect technologies help develop a safe driving culture with videobased footage that enables drivers to improve their habits. Updates include advanced driver assistance systems to monitor tailgating, pedestrians and cyclists. The driver-monitoring system tracks distracted driving, phone usage, fatigue and more. The recently launched single and dual-camera model hardware features a modular design, a smaller and sleeker product and lens caps for privacy. Landscape companies use Verizon Connect’s AI dashcam to lower their risk of fines and accident costs by tracking and coaching driver behavior. Video telematics can help fleets reduce the likelihood of crashes in the first place, reducing accident-related costs as a result. And, if a crash does happen, a recording of the incident can be used as evidence.

 Western Products Pile Driver with TRACE Technology

The Western Pile Driver lineup of pusher plows is designed for snow removal applications.

The series is available in 8-, 10- and 12-foot widths. The attachments come with three heights and a common carrier attachment system making them compatible with skid steers.

Patent-pending terrain response advanced cutting edge (TRACE) technology is made up of independent 2-foot sections that oscillate, move vertically and trip to accommodate contours and obstacles in the plowable surface.

“This new cutting-edge technology will offer business owners peak snow removal performance on their toughest jobs,” said Andy McArdle, director of marketing, CSI, at Douglas Dynamics. “And in an industry where you have no time to waste, the ease of attachment, operation and the best-in-class dealer network will help operators get more jobs done faster.” https://gpros.co/emj6ye

Each blade section is equipped with a 3/4-inch cutting edge with carbide insert for heavy-duty use. Self-leveling side plates with reversible, bolt-on skis facilitate servicing, allowing you to use both edges of the ski before replacing.
