A combination of exercise, relaxation and a sporting challenge – these are the things that motivate golfers when they step onto the green. The golfer’s most important companion is a lightweight and manoeuvrable golf trolley. The latest models assist their owners as e-caddies, like the TiCad Liberty, the premium golf trolley from manufacturer TiCad. The drive for these trolleys is provided by micromotors from Schönaich.
Hand-made
The TiCad Liberty is the most convenient variant of the TiCad titanium family, and captivates with its puristic design and virtually limitless functionality. Regardless of whether the terrain is flat or demanding, the TiCad Liberty accompanies its owner unconditionally. The hand-crafted titanium frame and titanium wheels glide gracefully and charmingly over the golf course. Personal comfort is provided by a drawbar with individual height adjustment and a button or twist-grip control with automatic forward movement. Thanks to the electromagnetic parking brake the TiCad Liberty is extremely stable, even on uneven ground.
Impressive on any terrain
The practical motor brake ensures that the speed remains constant when going downhill so that the owner can regulate the speed himself on any terrain. Even extra holes are not a problem, at least as far as the equipment is concerned, since the TiCad Liberty guarantees a range of at least 27 holes, thanks to the handy lithium battery. Other features are a pivoting joint which ensures that the trolley can be assembled and disassembled in seconds, as well as the impressive packing and storage dimensions of just 68 x 63 x 7 centimetres. The TiCad Liberty therefore fits in almost any car boot.
Made in Germany
TiCad is based in Altenstadt near Frankfurt, and has been hand-crafting golf trolleys since 1989. The company manufactures trolleys made from high-quality titanium, and produces unique models that have impressed customers throughout Europe. TiCad recently started to install Faulhaber motors in all of its motorised trolleys. “Faulhaber is a traditional German company like us, and is one of the leading providers in its sector and offers top German products,” says TiCad managing director, Björn Hillesheim about Faulhaber. “This is a match made in heaven for us and our own high standard of quality and service.” As far as Faulhaber is concerned, Hillesheim particularly values the quick and reliable cooperation.
Powerful DC micromotors
The golf trolleys are driven by powerful DC micromotors with graphite commutation. With a diameter of 32 millimetres and a length of 72 millimetres, the motors are particularly lightweight and compact. The graphite commutation is extremely robust and ideally suited for dynamic applications with quick start and stop operation, as well as occasional overload conditions, such as those that occur during use on the golf course.
Established sales network
TiCad has revolutionised the sector with the invention of the world’s first titanium golf trolley when it started 27 years ago. TiCad currently has more than 50 employees at its headquarters in Altenstadt. With about 370 dealers in Germany and a total of 600 across Europe, TiCad has an extensive and established sales network. All products are sold only in pro shops and by selected specialised dealers.
