Figure 3: Ball Pickers, Midi/Maxi/Jumbo
The Range Servant Ball Picker is designed to provide the customer with many years of
functional, rational and economical handling of golf balls on the driving range.
The efficiency of the Ball Picker is achieved by a beam that allows the pick-up sections
to follow uneven terrain, so it seldom misses any balls on the driving range.
The Ball Picker is available with two different types of picking discs. One is called
Multiflex and is made of non-rigid plastic and the other, more robust, is made of rubber.
The latter is particularly suitable for Driving Ranges on uneven ground which is harder
on the discs.
The Ball Picker comprises modules of hot-galvanised steel section on which the
picking discs are mounted to form a roller on bearings. These moveable sections are
fixed to a beam and to one another with flexible couplings. With this module system,
the Ball Picker can easily be upgraded from a Midi to a Maxi. Ball Pickers with Multiflex
discs can also be upgraded from a Maxi to a Jumbo.
When the Ball Picker is driven forward over the grass, the balls are collected between
the discs in the picking roller and passed directly down into the ball baskets. When the
pick-up job is finished, the baskets can easily be lifted out and emptied by hand.
The Ball Picker rolls easily and can be operated with most golf buggies, mini-tractors
etc. after attaching ball fittings to the front of the vehicle.
