Vegetation Management
Built for the Conditions You Face.
Municipal road crews, contractors, and utility right-of-way teams all share a common challenge: vegetation management in dangerous conditions where operator safety is constantly at risk. Traditional equipment wasn't built for steep terrain, active roadsides, or proximity to energized infrastructure. Remote-controlled machines and purpose-built attachments eliminate that risk, keeping crews safe while delivering the power and reliability to get the job done.
Challenges & The Resolve
- Operator safety constantly at risk on steep slopes, levees, and embankments
- Crews working active roadsides next to traffic with limited visibility
- Equipment that only performs one job, sitting idle most of the year
- Narrow cab visibility on busy right-of-ways where every angle matters
- Guardrails, barriers, and waterways forcing operators into the line of work
- Proximity to energized infrastructure where a wrong cut becomes a hazard
Equipment That Delivers
- Remote-controlled tracked mowers that handle slopes up to 60 degrees while the operator stays safe on flat ground
- Boom and slope attachments designed specifically for steep, active, and high-risk vegetation work
- Extremely versatile machines, multipurpose and multifunction, that perform a wide range of vegetation tasks
- 360 degree visibility from a rotating cab, so operators see every angle of an active roadside
- Hinge-height reach that clears guardrails and obstacles while the operator stays in the safe zone
- Enclosed cabs with heat and A/C keep operators productive in 95 degree humidity or 15 degree wind chill
We'll demo on your actual terrain. If it can't handle your slopes, we'll point you at something that can.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a remote control slope mower?
A remote control slope mower is a tracked or wheeled mowing unit operated from a handheld transmitter, letting the operator stay on safe, flat ground while the machine mows steep slopes, embankments, and hazardous terrain. Most remote-control mowers handle slopes up to 50–60 degrees and cut vegetation up to 4 inches in diameter.
How much does a remote control slope mower cost?
Remote control tracked mowers range from $30,000 to $80,000+ depending on cutting width (24–60 inches), engine power, slope capability, and attachments. The investment typically pays for itself within 1–2 seasons by eliminating manual crews on dangerous slopes and reducing workers' compensation exposure.
Remote control slope mower vs. self-propelled boom mower: which is better?
Remote-controlled slope mowers excel on open slopes, levees, and embankments because they mow the entire surface from top to bottom with the operator off the machine. Self-propelled boom mowers (like the Energreen ILF) excel along guardrails, under barriers, and around obstacles where a vehicle can drive the shoulder. Many departments use both.
What size remote control slope mower do I need?
For residential slopes and small embankments, a 24–36-inch cutting width unit (20–25 HP) is adequate. For highway rights-of-way, levees, solar farms, and large commercial properties, a 40–60-inch model with 25–40+ HP handles higher volumes. BEC schedules on-site demos to match the right mower to your terrain.
What attachments are available for boom mowers and slope mowers?
Energreen boom mowers accept flail heads, rotary cutters, saw heads, brush cutters, and hedge trimmers. Robo remote-controlled slope mowers accept flail and rotary heads. Attachments swap quickly without major rework so a single carrier handles seasonal vegetation, brush, and right-of-way cuts.
How do you maintain a remote control slope mower?
Routine maintenance includes daily track/belt tension checks, blade sharpening or replacement every 20–40 hours, engine oil and filter changes per manufacturer intervals, and periodic hydraulic system inspection. Tracked remote-control mowers have fewer moving parts than traditional ride-on mowers, resulting in lower overall maintenance costs.
Another way to get the job done.
If your crew also handles snow, sweeping, plowing, or pressure washing, one chassis can do it all. Multi-purpose tractors swap attachments in minutes and keep earning across every season.
