Electric grounds and turf maintenance vehicles
Quiet, low-ground-pressure electric vehicles that move your grounds team, their tools and their materials across turf, paths and rough ground without churning the surface or breaking the peace.
Overview
Why Hawke electric vehicles suit grounds and turf keeping
Grounds and turf keeping is a transport problem before it is a machinery problem. A team spends its day moving between jobs across a large site, carrying tools, fuel, cuttings, compost, fencing and staff, often over grass that must not be marked. A petrol utility vehicle does that work, but it is loud on an early shift, it smells near the public and it leaves fumes where people picnic and children play. An electric grounds vehicle does the same carrying and towing in near silence, with no exhaust, and with the low-speed torque to pull a loaded trailer up a bank. Specified properly, with the right tyres and payload for your ground, it protects the turf you have spent years building rather than scarring it.

In practice
Where they earn their keep
Moving the team between jobs
Staff, hand tools and a strimmer or blower carried across a large park or estate in one trip, so the day is spent on the work rather than the walk back to the yard.
Carrying materials and green waste
Compost, bark, turf, fencing and cuttings shifted in a load bed sized to your busiest job, with a tipping option for loose material.
Towing across soft ground
Mowers, rollers, sprayers and trailers towed within a rated capacity, on turf tyres that spread the load and keep ground pressure low.
Early and late shifts near people
Silent running means grounds work can start before the public arrive and continue into the evening without noise complaints from neighbours or guests.
Turf protection
Low ground pressure, specified for your surface
The wrong tyre and the wrong weight will mark fine turf within a season. We specify turf or all-terrain tyres and match the loaded weight to the ground you cross, so the vehicle carries the work without carrying away the surface.
Payload and towing
Sized to the load, not the brochure
We match the load bed and towing capacity to your heaviest regular job, with honest ratings you can plan around. If a job needs more than our vehicles genuinely tow, we will tell you rather than sell you short.
Uptime
Less to service, more to run
An electric drivetrain has far fewer moving parts than a petrol engine, so there is less to go wrong through a busy season. A 3-year warranty and a 24-hour priority call-out keep the fleet working when the grass is growing fastest.

FAQ
Grounds and turf keeping questions, answered
Will an electric grounds vehicle damage the turf?+
Not when it is specified correctly. Marking comes from ground pressure, which is the combination of tyre choice and loaded weight. We fit turf or all-terrain tyres and match the payload to your surface, so the vehicle spreads its load rather than concentrating it. On very soft ground we will advise on tyre pressures and routes as well.
How much can these vehicles carry and tow?+
It depends on the model. Our compact utility vehicles carry several hundred kilograms in the bed, and the one-tonne payload models carry more, with towing rated separately. We quote the real figures for the model we recommend so you can plan against them, and we scope honestly rather than imply a capacity we cannot supply.
Will one charge last a full grounds shift?+
Lithium batteries are sized to a full working day of grounds use in most cases, charged overnight from a standard supply and ready each morning. For larger sites or double shifts we size the battery, or a second charge point, around your actual pattern at the survey.
Can it cope with slopes and rough ground?+
Yes, within its rated limits. Electric motors deliver full torque from a standstill, which suits pulling a loaded trailer up a bank. We specify the drive configuration and tyres for your terrain, and we are clear about gradients and ground the vehicle is not built for.
Is it road legal to cross a public road between areas?+
Some sites need to cross or briefly use a public road between grounds. Road use has specific legal requirements in the UK. We will talk through what your site needs and what is possible, and point you to a clear guide rather than give a blanket yes.
