Robotic mowers are innovative tools that help landscape contractors and government agencies maintain difficult terrain. While these robot mowers help maintenance teams manage all types of ground, they also help companies navigate a different kind of rough terrain — labor. Between labor shortages and poor or unreliable labor, contractors and government agencies need a mower that helps them actually get the job done. 

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.

Steep-Incline Maintenance 

Mowing steep slopes is hard and dangerous. By using our Remote-Operated Robotic Mowers engineered to hold a steep slope (and designed to climb up to 50° inclines), you are safeguarding workers from ride-on mower rollovers and twisted ankles or falls when working manually. Steep-incline maintenance is also an important technique in wildfire abatement. With a task this crucial, it's best to use a mower designed for these angles.

Dam and Levee Embankments

Dams and levees are structures that should not be neglected. The ability of our Remote-Operated Robotic Mowers to clear small trees and heavy brush from their slopes is significant. This vegetation hides failures in the structural integrity of dams and levees and prevents a thorough inspection. It can also serve as habitat for animals who burrow into the structure to create destabilizing damage.

Canals

Waterways and canals present unique challenges. This environment, having a ready water source, is generally robust and thriving in vegetation. The bank of a waterway creates footing and stability issues for most machines and people. An RC Mowers Remote-Operated Robotic Mower is engineered to negotiate slopes up to 50°. Maintained banks help keep canal water clean.

Catch Basins

The areas around catch basins must be controlled to maintain access for cleaning and inspection. Often cattails and other invasive plants block water flow and crowd out helpful vegetation. RC Mowers Remote-Operated Robotic Mowers have the ability to grip the banks and even operate while tracks are partially submerged. Adjust the cutting height in seconds with the user-friendly magnetic pins to manage tall grass. Using these machines also keeps workers high and dry as they control the mower from a safe distance.

Empty Lots

When vacant lots are left unattended, invasive vegetation takes over, creating not only an eyesore but also potential dangers. RC Mowers Remote-Operated Robotic Mowers can handle difficult growth and inclines up to 50°, but most importantly they allow an operator to work from a safe distance. This is key since abandoned lots often contain trash and other hazardous materials.  

Wetland and Swamp Preservation

Swamps, which are wetlands, and wetlands, which can be swamps, require unique attention. Buffer management is vital for the wetland to do its job of water filtration. The RC Mowers Remote-Operated Robotic Mower allows you to avoid the inefficiencies and dangers of string-trimming in muddy, creature-filled conditions, and gives you the ability to move on to other tasks much quicker.

Landfill Slope Preservation

Maintaining landfill slopes is an ongoing process that requires continuous attention, expertise, and specialized equipment like RC Mowers Remote-Operated Robotic Mowers. Regular mowing ensures environmental sustainability and public safety. Slope maintenance is crucial to prevent erosion, preserve stability, and comply with environmental regulations. 

Roadside Mowing

A mowed roadside provides sightlines to traffic signs, controls invasive vegetation, and maintains growth around drainage ditches and retention ponds. Also, fire abatement is extremely important to the safety of communities. Often these areas are steep and rarely mowed, creating a need for machines exactly like the R Series Remote-Operated Robotic Mower from RC Mowers. The R Series offers unmatched cutting performance and efficiency to ensure these areas never go neglected.

Retention or Water Treatment Ponds

Mowing and maintaining water treatment and retention ponds is essential to creating healthy ecosystems, preventing water pollution, enhancing appeal, and supporting biodiversity. Detention pond maintenance also provides effective stormwater management. RC Mowers Remote-Operated Robotic Mowers allow users to work the steep slopes and heavy terrain that typically surround these ponds.

Ditches

Ditches can frequently be havens for invasive vegetation and unwanted pests like rodents and disease-carrying insects. Using RC Mowers Remote-Operated Robotic Mowers to control these areas improves drainage, aesthetics, and access. These environments are generally banked and overgrown, making an RC Mowers machine ideal for efficiency and safety.

Containment Berms

These manmade embankments are designed to control possibly hazardous materials, pollutants, chemicals, or runoff water. It’s critical that these berms maintain their structural integrity, making frequent inspection essential. A quality inspection is impossible on overgrown berms. RC Mowers Remote-Operated Robotic Mowers provide a smart, safe, and effective way to ensure full inspections.

Bridge Embankments

These embankments by definition are sloped. RC Mowers Remote-Operated Robotic Mowers allow for total mowing access of this steep and overgrown terrain. Keeping bridge embankments clear is essential for structural integrity, fire abatement, rodent control, and visual appeal. RC Mowers provides the highly efficient and extremely safe way to work these environments on a regular basis.
