Resources: The Business of Mowing
Robot mowers drastically cut down mowing time and effectively work hazardous environments that are often too steep, too dangerous, and too populated by unfriendly creatures for humans to work. Otherwise, crews are left to negotiate ankle-twisting hills while using slow-going string-trimmers. Companies and municipalities are able to clear and maintain challenging areas with a single worker running a robotic mower versus a crew of 5-7 employees (who may or may not have shown up for work at all). We suggest the R Series Remote-Operated Robotic Mower from RC Mowers for all types of treacherous terrain.
Detention ponds are essential to manage flood risk. But they only work as well as they're maintained. With these best practices, you can keep up with detention pond maintenance without a hitch. At RC Mowers, we know that detention pond maintenance is a big priority, but the job itself is risky. Stop taking unnecessary risks. Our Remote-Operated Robotic Mower is a game-changer that allows operators to stand at a safe distance while they tackle rugged weeds and steep slopes.
Excellent landscape maintenance is the key to wildfire safety, which isn't always the easiest job. Dry brush and branches can be a hazard with a push mower, so you need a better option. The R Series Remote-Operated Robotic Mower is the answer. With the R Series, you can maintain your defensible space from a safe spot. The intelligent remote control with LCD screen and real-time information makes it possible to tackle dead and dry vegetation without a second thought. Rugged cast iron bearings and superior ground clearance allow the R Series to navigate all types of terrain.
The interest in autonomous or driverless mowing is inspired by a profound and ongoing labor shortage. There’s a lack of workers to complete the existing workload, and difficulties with current staff members that are unreliable and less than motivated. Autonomous mowing is the answer to how to grow your landscaping business.
Traditional lawn mowers in conventional mowing environments rely on human operation, requiring manual guidance for each machine to cut grass. Autonomous mowers are guided by sensors and programmed boundaries. They mow without a rider, freeing up staff for detailed landscape work. And they allow companies to scale their businesses without adding to their workforce.
Traditional lawn mowers in hilly and extreme terrain environments also rely on human operation, often putting humans at great risk of injury. Often these types of jobs require an excessive amount of time to complete by hand. Robotic remote-controlled mowers allow personnel to operate the machine from a safe, stable distance. These specialized machines give operations the ability to create new niche revenue with less labor and do it all safety.
Roadside mowing is an essential and critical task. When roadsides aren't maintained, overgrowth can reduce visibility for drivers, cause environmental issues, and make roadways far from safe. But here's the rub — roadside mowers have to confront the safety risk of maintaining these tricky areas. Landscape contractors must be uniquely equipped to handle the challenges of roadside mowing. Keep these tips in mind for effective and safe roadside maintenance.
