Side Lawn Mower

The Side Lawn Mower operates entirely on electric drive without hydraulic actuation, ensuring precise control of movement and cutting performance. Electric operation allows stable rotation speed and immediate response to changes in vegetation density.

Key benefits:
• No hydraulic lag
• Precise movement control
• Smooth rotational behavior
• Reduced maintenance requirements

Result: consistent grass cutting performance and reliable operation.

The mower uses an encoder-based soft contact sensor integrated with a flexible suspension frame to control interaction with tree trunks. When the detecting frame touches a trunk, the system measures displacement and automatically adjusts position.

Key benefits:
• Gentle trunk contact
• Continuous position feedback
• Smooth approach and retreat from trees
• Reduced bark damage risk

Result: safe operation around trunks and reliable tree protection.

The mower deck is designed to cut grass and mulch pruning residues in the same pass. This allows robotic workflows to handle both vegetation maintenance and branch processing simultaneously.

Key benefits:
• Efficient grass cutting
• Mulching of fallen branches
• Reduced manual cleanup
• Improved plantation hygiene

Result: complete inter-row vegetation maintenance in one operation.

The semi-open deck allows long grass and bent vegetation to enter the cutting area properly. Unlike fully closed mower decks, this design prevents vegetation from bending under the deck without being cut.

Key benefits:
• Better engagement with tall grass
• Improved handling of branches
• Cleaner cutting finish
• Reliable performance in dense vegetation

Result: consistent cutting quality even in challenging conditions.

The mower deck geometry is shaped to follow tree root zones while maintaining safe clearance from trunks. This enables efficient vegetation removal close to trees without causing damage.

Key benefits:
• Minimal uncut grass around trunks
• Reduced need for manual trimming
• Clean root-zone appearance
• Improved orchard floor management

Result: efficient root-zone maintenance and improved plantation hygiene.

An optional horizontal belt trimmer can be installed to clean vegetation directly at the base of tree trunks. The Side Lawn Mower attachment removes vines, lianas, and strong weeds that mower blades cannot reach.

Key benefits:
• Improved trunk-area cleaning
• Removal of dense vegetation at trunk base
• Reduced manual intervention
• Better root-zone management

Result: fully automated trunk-area vegetation control.

The Side Lawn Mower includes an emergency protection system that detects obstructions and automatically stops operation. This prevents damage if the cutting unit becomes jammed by debris or obstacles.

Key benefits:
• Protection from hidden obstacles
• Reduced motor overload risk
• Prevention of structural damage
• Safe autonomous operation

Result: reliable robotic operation with minimal downtime.
