Airport Field Maintenance
Airport properties are often massive grounds with massive maintenance needs. Between strict visibility requirements and small landscaping and maintenance teams, airports need a mowing solution that’s efficient, accurate, and fast. RC Mowers meets and exceeds high-demand airfield maintenance expectations.
Airport Grounds Maintenance Needs
Airport grounds require regular upkeep to provide a consistently safe and functional environment for directing air traffic. An overgrown airfield can block runway markers that are essential for aircraft traffic control. Untamed terrain on the runway can also block lighting that helps pilots navigate (which is pretty darn important).
These high standards must be maintained 24/7. How frequently you need to mow and get the terrain under control is vegetation- and weather-dependent.
The Challenges of Airfield Maintenance
Airport grounds maintenance is a priority, but it comes with many hurdles:
- Staffing shortages: Airport maintenance teams are facing staffing shortages just like many other businesses. The fewer people there are to manage the grounds, the harder it is for airports to manage their airfields for safe plane navigation.
- Efficiency:Airfields often involve hundreds of acres. Serious risks come with deferred maintenance — grounds upkeep needs to happen regularly, but small teams with large areas to cover make it challenging to accomplish in a timely manner.
- Safety:While runways are designed to be flat and smooth, the same can't be said for the grounds. When maintenance teams have to tackle slopes, they put themselves at risk if the default option is standard ride-on mowers or string trimmers.
RC Mowers: Land On This Dynamic Airfield Mowing Solution
Airport grounds are not the same as an everyday lawn or green space — they need more than an everyday solution. Ditch your current airport mowing equipment for solutions from RC Mowers.
R Series Remote-Operated Robotic Mowers
Every airport could benefit from R Series Remote-Operated Robotic Mowers. These machines allow a maintenance crew member to remain at a safe distance while navigating the R Series over steep slopes and through rugged brush. With incredible first-pass yield, durable cast iron spindle construction, and a user-friendly LCD remote control for operation, grounds maintenance has never been easier.
It's not just a mower. It's a badass machine that gets the job done.
Autonomous Mowing Robot™
High acreage demands a sophisticated solution. Stop falling behind due to staff shortages and turn to the Autonomous Mowing Robot™ (AMR).
