Use case
Airports & airfield grass areas
-
Strong segment for Spider Electric 2.0 — particularly for small and medium airports with night operations near built-up areas. Quiet and zero-emission = ideal for night-time mowing without complaints.
Situation
A smaller sport or regional 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. Mowing during the day = interference with flight operations.
Problem
Mowing during flight operations is complicated and risky. Strict regulation of grass height for bird-presence prevention. Night-time mowing would solve everything — but a combustion machine at night brings noise complaints from neighbors, and who sends a person with a brushcutter into the dark?
SOLUTION
Flight operations end. Spider Electric 2.0 starts. Silent, electric, zero-emission. By morning the grass is mowed exactly to regulation height — without complaints from neighbors.
Spider Electric 2.0 mows autonomously, electrically and in absolute silence. Ideal for night operation at airports near built-up areas, where the machine works outside flight hours and everything is done by morning. Cutting heights of 12–14 cm 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, GPS track. For very large international airports with continuous operation, consider the combustion-powered Spider Autonomous 2.0 (higher productivity, refueling).
