The end of manned mowing with Kress Voyager

Sponsored by Kress Commercial

Landscaping companies across North America are facing a rising demand for services while also navigating intensifying labor challenges.

Kress has the solution

Kress Commercial is dedicated to alleviating labor and efficiency challenges and helping landscape professionals supercharge their profits. With Kress Voyager, a 40” autonomous robotic mower specifically designed for route-based operations, crews can overcome labor challenges while boosting productivity and profitability.

Same staff, more lawns

Voyager redefines efficiency by tackling mowing while crews focus on edging, blowing and other detailed tasks. This emission-free mower travels with its crew, fitting seamlessly into existing route-based business models.

  • Covers five acres per charge: Powered by a 10-kWh battery, Voyager runs for up to six hours with no fuel expenses, no emissions and no interruptions.
  • Designed for a 5,000-hour service life: Voyager guarantees reliable, high-performance operation with minimal maintenance.
  • 360° obstacle avoidance system: A multi-sensor system – including LiDAR, Vision AI and ultrasonic sensors – Voyager detects and avoids obstacles in real time.

Equipped with a multi-sensor system, smart mapping and RTKn technology, Voyager is designed to navigate residential properties with ease following a one-time, simple, mapping process. Voyager navigates lawns by memory, storing infinite property maps with fully customizable mowing—including patterns and cutting height (1.5” to 5”).
