“We wanted a piece of equipment that would keep our employees safe and out of harm’s way, and was easy to use, but still able to effectively achieve the goal of mitigating potential fuels for fire in our rural areas and sloped locations.” Robert Ljuba, Facilities Maintenance Supervisor, sums up their motivation for investing in RC Mowers’ robotic technology. Robert reports zero injuries since sending their Remote-Operated Robotic Mower into the field. Staff is able to work difficult and dangerous terrain safely from the flats, off the slopes and out of the creature-filled environments.

In years past, Landscapes USA had to hire several employees to handle all the steep-slope work the company had – if they could even get the labor. He said finding the labor has always been difficult but, now, they can send one employee with the remote-operated robotic mower to get all their slope jobs done instead of an entire crew.

For Lanracorp, a leader in pipeline and utility maintenance, taking care of the steep terrain that makes up the grounds of their refinery customers was an arduous job that required up to seven employees putting in hours of hard work to manually cut 30-degree slopes with weed trimmers.

So, when Lanracorp Operations Supervisor Brent Hoerig began searching for a solution, he was thrilled to find a mower that would allow him to cut the number of employees needed for one job from seven to two and a half.

“RC Mowers has enabled us to save tens of thousands of dollars in labor costs, added Jeremy Comer. “It also gives us more opportunity to do the longer-term work.”  “In the past, when we had to tell our employees that they would be using string trimmers for two weeks, or that they would have to run mowers on hillsides for two weeks straight, they would dread it,” said Jeremy. “The RC Mowers remote-operated robotic mower makes it so much more fun for them. They just stand there and operate the remote.”
