Airports & airfield grass areas
-
STRONG FIT — large airports with extensive perimeter grass areas. Heavy-duty productivity = entire perimeter zone in one shift.
Situación
A medium-to-large airport. Grass areas in the perimeter of runway, taxiway and apron. Tens of hectares of green space that must be kept at exact height per aviation regulations (60–140 mm).
Problema
Large areas require robust equipment that covers the entire surface quickly and repeatedly. Traditional tractors are expensive, human labor costly, night-time mowing with people is a safety problem. Bird-strike prevention requires regularity.
SOLUCIÓN
Flight operations end at 22:00. Spider Autonomous 2.0 starts. By 06:00, the entire perimeter belt is mowed to regulation height — refueling happens on the fly.
Spider Autonomous 2.0 is ideal for large airports: 8,500 m²/h productivity means the extensive grass belt is handled in a single night shift. Refueling instead of charging = unlimited operation throughout the night. The Automowing Portal generates compliance reports for aviation authorities (cut height, time, GPS track).
For small sport airports with night operations near built-up areas, Spider Electric 2.0 (zero-emission, lower noise) may be gentler. Large international airports typically choose Spider Autonomous 2.0 or a mixed fleet.
