November 2nd, 2015, Oakland, CA–Cooper Gray Robotics LLC, an Oakland, California based company, (www.robotloader.com) is please to announce the introduction of ROEBL (remote operated electric bucket loader, aka bobcat, aka skid steer), the lead offering in the first line of remote controlled, electric powered farm and vineyard equipment.
As the world confronts the increasingly dramatic consequences of global warming, alternative fueled vehicles take on added importance. Now there is a sustainable alternative to diesel as we are learning “clean diesel” is essentially a misnomer. CGR addresses this concern directly by creating agricultural equipment that sacrifices nothing in terms or performance–ROEBL can do everything a diesel-powered skid steer can do and more—while completely eliminating tail pipe emissions.
CGR’s skid steer allows farmers and winegrowers to compliment their sustainable agricultural practices with equipment that, for the first time, completely eliminates toxic emissions. The skid steer is one of the most versatile machines in the market today and the ROEBL is right there to offer dozens of applications including: soil preparation, vertical pruning, planting, spraying, mulching, mowing, crop transport, forklift, brush cutting, bucket loading, excavation, post hole digging and setting, jackhammer, pavement saw, etc.
While for years manufacturers have focused on driver safety, CGR actually does something about the problem, reducing operator risk to zero by taking the driver off the vehicle. And our electric drive train solves another industry wide issue. ROEBL can work safely in barns, silos, garages, warehouses, labs, wine storage areas, etc. because it is emission free.
According to co-inventor and CTO Justin Gray, “The proprietary controller that is at the heart of the CGR product line scales up to work with larger farm equipment that will be battery powered in the near future. This is the direction of the industry and we are proud to be leading the next wave.”
CGR is launching a second round of financing today on Fundable, www.fundable.com/cooper-gray-robotics
CGR sees a bright future for its skid steers on farms and vineyards across America and beyond. Finally there is something truly new in farm equipment: Cooper Gray Robotics has it.
