RC Mowers’ remote-operated robotic mowers solve City of Vallejo ‘biggest problems’

by

For the City of Vallejo, California, keeping its maintenance workers safe and its more than 8,000 acres of land protected from potential fire hazards was the catalyst for its decision to add three more RC Mowers remote-controlled robotic mowers to its fleet this mowing season.

Robert Ljuba, the facilities maintenance supervisor for the City of Vallejo Water Department, says: “Our team spends a great deal of our work week clearing the brush and other vegetation that serve as fuel for wildfires.

“Because this brush is usually located on hills and in rough terrain, our crews are often put in harm’s way. As a result, we are constantly evaluating equipment that can help mitigate those risks while doing an effective job at removing fire hazards.” [Read more…] about RC Mowers’ remote-operated robotic mowers solve City of Vallejo ‘biggest problems’
