DCK Tools expands cordless and robotic outdoor equipment lineup via 3D LiDAR integration
Executive summary: DCK Tools presented its new 40V cordless garden tools and a new line of robotic mowers at the Salonvert 2026 trade fair. The move signifies an intensification in the professional outdoor power equipment market through the application of specialized 3D LiDAR technology in robotics.
Who is involved: DCK Tools (professional brand of Dongcheng), Salonvert 2026.
Likely next: Market adoption of new robotic mower series and integration of LiDAR tech in consumer-facing outdoor tools.
DCK Tools used the Salonvert 2026 trade show to unveil a broader selection of motorized outdoor equipment that combines its existing 40‑volt cordless platform with a new family of robotic mowers featuring 3D LiDAR navigation. The announcement, covered in multiple press releases, shows the company extending its cordless garden‑tool line while adding autonomous mowing solutions that rely on the same LiDAR technology it has previously employed in other products. The move addresses two concurrent market trends: the shift toward battery‑powered tools as users seek lower emissions and quieter operation, and the growing interest in smart‑navigation robotic equipment that can operate safely and efficiently in complex lawn environments. By integrating 3D LiDAR, DCK aims to improve obstacle detection and mapping accuracy for its mowers, potentially reducing the need for perimeter wires and simplifying setup for both professional landscapers and homeowners. In the near term, the expanded lineup is expected to reach distribution channels later this year, which could broaden DCK’s share of the cordless outdoor‑power segment and prompt competitors to accelerate their own LiDAR‑based developments.
