Use case
Airports & airfield grass areas
-
Suitable for small sport and regional airports near residential areas. Quiet, zero-emission operation makes it ideal for night-time mowing. For large international airports with extensive perimeters, prefer Spider Electric 2.0 or Spider Autonomous 2.0 with a wider cut.
Situation
A smaller sport airport. Hangars, taxiways, large grass areas. Grass height has to meet strict regulations, vegetation that's too tall attracts birds and increases bird-strike risk.
But mowing during the day means interfering with flight operations.
Problem
Mowing during flight operations is complicated and risky. Grass height is strictly regulated to deter birds. Large airports have their own fleets, but smaller sport airports are looking for an efficient solution.
Night-time mowing would solve everything, but nobody wants to send a person with a brushcutter into the dark.
SOLUTION
Flight operations end. Raymo SAM starts. By morning the grass is mowed exactly to regulation height.
Raymo SAM mows autonomously, electrically and in complete silence. Ideal for night operation at smaller airports, where the machine works outside flight hours and everything is done by morning. Cutting heights of 60–140 mm (R48CRAFT deck) match aviation regulations and are documented in the portal.
Automatic documentation in the Automowing Portal serves as proof of regulatory compliance for aviation authorities. Cutting height, mowing time and GPS track, all recorded and available online.For very large international airports, Spider Autonomous 2.0 or Spider Autonomous 2.0 Electrick may be more productive.

Why Raymo SAM?
-
Quiet electric operation allows mowing at night without disturbance
-
Precise control of cut height (60–140 mm) per airport regulations
-
Autonomous operation means nobody on the field in the dark
-
Reporting gives compliance documentation for aviation authorities
-
Bird-strike prevention through regular maintenance of grass height
-
For large airports with large perimeters, consider Spider Autonomous 2.0 Electrick
