DropPit Installation
Complete Installation Support for Your Ball Management System
Installing a DropPit system is about more than supplying the equipment. Every driving range is different, which is why we provide a complete installation service designed around your site, your existing setup and the way your range operates day to day.
From the initial site assessment through to installation, testing, staff training and aftercare, our team will make sure your DropPit system is planned properly, installed professionally and set up to work seamlessly with your wider ball management process.
Whether you are installing a full DropPit system with washing and vacuum transport, or a smaller setup designed to support your existing equipment, we’ll guide you through the process from start to finish.
Designed Around Your Driving Range
Before any installation takes place, we start by understanding how your range currently works.
This includes looking at your ball collection process, dispenser location, existing infrastructure, available space, ground conditions and the route balls need to take from collection point to dispenser. We’ll assess:
- The best position for the DropPit unit
- How your ball picker or range picker will interact with the system
- Whether the system needs washing, vacuum transport or both
- The most efficient route back to your dispenser
- Power, drainage and control panel requirements
- How the system can integrate with existing ball dispensers or payment systems
A Structured Installation Process
Once the system has been specified, we follow a clear installation process to make sure every part of the system works as it should.
1
Site Assessment and Planning
We review your driving range layout, daily ball volumes, existing equipment and operational requirements. From this, we identify the most suitable DropPit location and how the system will connect with the rest of your range.
2
System Design and Specification
Your DropPit system is designed around your site and the level of automation you require. We specify the collection point, washing equipment, underground transport route, dispenser connection and any compatible robotic equipment.
3
Groundworks and Site Preparation
The agreed installation area is prepared for the DropPit system and underground pipework. We coordinate the required excavation, foundations, drainage and service connections to ensure the site is ready for installation.
4
Equipment Installation
The DropPit unit, pipework and associated equipment are installed in their planned positions. Every component is fitted carefully to create a reliable and efficient route from the outfield collection point to the ball dispenser.

5. Integration and Testing
The system is connected to your washing equipment, vacuum transport, dispenser and ball-picking robot where applicable. We then test the complete process to ensure balls move smoothly through every stage of the system.
6
Training, Handover and Support
Once testing is complete, we show your team how to operate and monitor the system. You will also receive ongoing support from DropPit UK and GroundTech to help keep the installation performing reliably.
