“The McConnel Robocut is widely used by industry professionals and will add to the services Council already offers. The lawnmower is remote controlled and is lighter and has a lower centre of gravity than a tractor-slasher.
It can be used in areas where our crews are unable to access with traditional equipment, including soggy ground and steep slopes.
It is also a lot safer for our team, with the remote-controlled mower able to work on 55-degree slopes, compared to 15 degrees with traditional equipment.”
