Manufactured in the UK, Hybot 2 made its first public appearance at this year's Saltex in September, where it attracted a considerable amount of attention. Spurred on by the high level of interest, the Somerset-based firm is launching its mower onto the market.

Hybot 2 has been created to provide safe and effective access to areas that other mowers can't reach. It achieves this through a specially designed remote control system that allows it to be operated from a safe and practical distance.

Its low centre of gravity and high-grip track system provides it with exceptional stability, features that enable it to work at an angle of up to 50-degrees. Weighing just 210kgs, it is the makers say it's the lightest machine of its kind and consequently, no other can climb banks and inclines that are as steep.

"Having listened to our customers, we are confident that Hybot2 will fulfill a real need in the market", said Hybot's Peter Loxston. "After extensive tests, we now know what the machine is capable of and therefore are very excited to be launching it this month. I am sure Hybot 2 will appeal to a wide range of clients, in particular government bodies, the military, sports venues and commercial operators."
