Central Sweden · Municipal Grounds Maintenance
Municipal Park Slope Maintenance in Central Sweden
- Area
- Approx. 35 hectares of slope sections across seven parks
- Slope
- Up to 38° (typical operating range 25°–35°)
- Terrain
- Lakeside park slopes with granite outcrops and uneven grass banks
- Vegetation
- Mixed park grass with tall seasonal growth around trees and paths
Estimated 50%–70% less time per slope section compared with manual trimming No staff required to stand on wet slopes above water All seven parks kept on their scheduled cutting windows through the season Consistent grass height across banks previously cut irregularly Crew time reallocated from slope trimming to general grounds work Following the evaluation, the contractor added a second unit for parks on the other side of the district.
Tyrol, Austria · Forestry – Vegetation Management
Forestry Slope Maintenance - Austria
- Area
- Approx. 180 hectares of forested terrain, with 70+ hectares on steep slopes
- Slope
- Up to 40° (with operational range typically between 25°–35°)
- Terrain
- Mountainous forest with dense underbrush, rocky surfaces, and uneven ground
- Vegetation
- Invasive shrubs, underbrush, and seasonal grasses
Approx. 65%–75% reduction in vegetation control time compared to previous methods Improved operator safety, with no incidents reported during the trial period Lower environmental impact, with reduced reliance on fuel-powered equipment More consistent vegetation control across the entire forested area Increased productivity, with operators able to manage multiple zones per day Following the success of the trial phase, the client has decided to expand their fleet of RM-800 units for broader coverage.
Manchester, United Kingdom · Sports & Recreational Facility Management
Golf Course Rough Terrain Maintenance - United Kingdom
- Slope
- Up to 28°
60% reduction in maintenance time Improved consistency across rough terrain areas Reduced manual labor requirements 2× increase in coverage efficiency No disruption to golf course usage The golf course has since incorporated RM-800 into its standard maintenance workflow.
Piedmont, Italy · Industrial & Terrain Maintenance
Industrial Facility Perimeter Vegetation Management - Italy
- Area
- Approx. 120 hectares of industrial yard, with 40+ hectares on sloped areas
- Slope
- Up to 30° (with operational range typically between 20°–28°)
- Terrain
- Industrial yard with uneven surfaces, slopes, and occasional gravel paths
- Vegetation
- Weeds, grass, and vegetation growing around machinery storage and peripheral areas
60%–70% reduction in vegetation control time, especially in hard-to-reach areas Significant improvement in safety, with fewer workers needed in high-risk zones Lower labor costs, due to the reduced need for large teams Increased yard utilization, with fewer disruptions to operations and machinery movement More consistent vegetation management, ensuring safer and cleaner workspaces The client subsequently expanded the RM-800 fleet for comprehensive coverage of the entire industrial yard.
Lyon, France · Municipal Infrastructure & Public Area Maintenance
Urban Roadside & Public Area Vegetation Maintenance - France
- Area
- Approx. 90 hectares of roadside and public maintenance areas across urban and suburban zones
- Slope
- Up to 35° (typical operational range 15°–30°)
- Terrain
- Urban roadside slopes, traffic islands, and uneven public green areas
- Vegetation
- Roadside grass, weeds, and seasonal vegetation growth
Approx. 55%–70% reduction in maintenance time in pilot areas Reduced need for lane closures in many routine maintenance tasks Improved worker safety, particularly in high-traffic environments Lower labor dependency, with smaller crews required More consistent maintenance scheduling, especially in high-growth seasons Following the pilot phase, the contractor expanded the use of RM-800 units across additional maintenance zones.
Valencia, Spain · Agriculture – Citrus Orchards
Orchard Slope Maintenance - Spain
- Area
- 200+ hectares of terraced hillside orchards
- Slope
- 38° (max up to 45° in certain sections)
After 8 weeks of continuous operation, the project delivered measurable improvements across safety, efficiency, and cost structure: 85% reduction in total mowing time compared to manual weed clearing Zero safety incidents recorded after deployment (previously 3–4 minor injuries per season) 60% reduction in slope maintenance labor costs 3× increase in daily operational coverage per operator Full terrain accessibility achieved across 30°–45° orchard slopes Following the successful trial, the client expanded deployment with an additional 4 RM-800 units for full-scale orchard coverage.
Bavaria, Germany · Infrastructure – Highway Maintenance
Highway Embankment Vegetation Control - Germany
- Area
- Approx. 120 hectares of embankment sections across multiple highway segments
- Slope
- Up to 42° (average operational range 30°–38°)
- Terrain
- Roadside embankments with uneven surfaces, loose soil, and drainage slopes
- Vegetation
- Mixed roadside grass, weeds, and seasonal overgrowth
Estimated 65%–80% reduction in maintenance time on treated sections Reduced need for lane closures in many maintenance scenarios Improved operator safety, with less exposure to traffic hazards Lower labor dependency, particularly in high-risk areas More consistent maintenance cycles across embankment zones After the evaluation phase, additional units were introduced for expanded regional coverage.
Douro Valley, Portugal · Agriculture - Vineyard Maintenance
Vineyard Slope Maintenance - Portugal
- Area
- Approx. 150 hectares of vineyard, of which 60+ hectares are on slopes
- Slope
- Up to 35 deg (typical operating range: 25 deg-30 deg)
- Terrain
- Steep vineyard slopes with terraces, uneven surfaces and dry soil
- Vegetation
- Vines, weeds and seasonal undergrowth
Maintenance time reduced by 70%-80% versus manual methods Significantly improved safety, with no injury reports during deployment Lower labour cost and reduced reliance on manual pruning crews More consistent vegetation control, promoting healthier vine growth Greater daily coverage per operator, reducing delays during harvest preparation The client has since incorporated the RM-800 into its routine maintenance programme.
