Already leading the way as the UK’s best-selling electronic trolley brand, PowaKaddy continued to grow in 2018 with an impressive 40% increase in the number of rental units sold to clubs and resorts within the UK and Europe, as club professionals invested in what has been branded the ‘ultimate cash machine.’

Following on from last year’s success, PowaKaddy’s rental figures have continued to grow in 2019, spearheaded by the GPS technology that can also be found in some of the brand’s best-selling trollies. The range once again offers all retailers an opportunity to boost their revenue by providing the very latest in hi-tech electronic rental trolleys, often leading to PGA Professionals doubling their investment in as little as two months – regardless of the scale of their purchase, whether it be a handful of trolleys or a larger fleet.

A perfect solution for venues of all sizes and budgets, rental fleets help to deliver a super-fast return on investment; the GPS rental provides PGA Professionals not only a higher charge-out rate, but also a more technologically advanced product that can help increase retail sales – that’s why PowaKaddy has dubbed it ‘the ultimate cash machine’.

The popularity of rental trolleys is on a steady rise within the UK as playing golf with the assistance of an electric trolley becomes the norm for many golfers. Due to the familiarity of the product, club professionals are hiring out growing number of trolleys on a weekly basis, meaning that investment in a fleet of 2019 PowaKaddy rental trollies can help to drastically increase sales figures in an increasingly competitive leisure market.

PowaKaddy’s electric trolley range does not simply bridge the gap between carrying clubs and riding in a buggy, it allows a golfer to preserve energy, and enjoy their round without the strain of carrying a bag on their back. The addition of PowaKaddy’s new GPS technology has completely transformed the golfers’ experience, with the ability to gain incredibly accurate information as they make their way round the course.

Providing distances to the front, middle and back of greens, the GPS technology helps golfers to better manage their round with direct and accurate information on over 38,000 courses worldwide. This data is all displayed on the digital 2.8” widescreen display which is built into the super-intelligent lightweight handle. Club professionals can also keep their fleet updated with the latest GPS information, by utilising the built-in wireless Bluetooth capability to upload new course data – ensuring trolley users are always able to trust the very latest GPS readings.

The 2019 GPS Rental trolley also incorporates PowaKaddy’s 36-hole Lithium battery, which is the thinnest and most powerful design on the market. Providing golfers with reliable performance for their full 18 holes, golf professionals can also reap further profit when opting to sell the trolley on in the future.

Such has been the success of the rental fleet, no less than 11 Open Championship venues trust PowaKaddy rental trolleys to satisfy the demand of both their members and the extensive number of golfers from across the globe who travel to play their prestigious layouts each year.
