How to standardize the trimming of weeds on slopes — introducing the HCN Slope Trimmer is truly necessary!
Each year, Canada receives abundant rainfall, leading to vigorous growth of greenery and weeds along city streets, highway medians, and roadside slopes. This growth can impact the aesthetics of green belts and even pose safety risks for drivers. To create harmonious green corridors, enhance the roadside environment, and ensure driving safety, many regions are actively managing the trimming of green belts, medians, and roadside vegetation.
Regions schedule trimming based on factors such as plant height, growth rate, and weed type, setting clear technical guidelines and safety standards to ensure timely and quality completion of maintenance. However, with the increasing area of green spaces along highway slopes and medians, the task of trimming greenery in highway green belts, medians, and slopes has become highly demanding.
Currently, there are three common trimming methods. The first is the use of traditional portable trimmers, which are not only time-consuming and labor-intensive but also pose safety risks, especially on slopes where slips and falls are common. Additionally, this method demands a high level of technical skill and proficiency from operators to achieve satisfactory results.
The second method involves using trimming machines. However, traditional trimmers have limitations—they lack adjustable cutting head position and angle, requiring separate mechanisms for high-level trimming and low-level mowing. This increases production costs and adds complexity to operation. With a limited working range, these machines often fail to meet expectations for shaping and maintaining medians and lawns to desired standards.
The third option is the use of specialized slope mowers. However, these machines carry significant safety risks, as even a slight mishap can lead to rollovers, causing serious injuries to operators.
So, how can we implement standardized trimming along roadside sections and tackle this “standardization challenge”? The answer often lies in the right machinery.
To overcome the challenges of complex operation, high production costs, and limited working range associated with traditional trimmers, HCN has designed a Boom Mower that can be mounted on skid steer loaders, wheel loaders and various construction vehicles. This trimmer offers a broad working range and high trimming quality, significantly boosting efficiency, reducing labor needs and safety risks, and enhancing overall trimming effectiveness.
The HCN Boom Mower enables users to carry out standardized trimming, helping to maintain a clean and uniform cross-sectional width along highways.
The HCN boom mover is driven by a hydraulic motor, which is powered by hydraulic oil from the host machine. It features positioning and telescoping devices to adjust the cutter head's position, height, and angle. This allows it to simultaneously perform high-level median trimming and low-level lawn mowing. With its broader operational range, it delivers superior trimming quality.
The HCN Boom Mower is extensively used for trimming operations on freeways, national highways, ordinary roads, and long green belts, including medians, inner and outer slopes, and hedges. Operators can quickly adjust the trimmer using a handheld remote controller from the comfort of the cabin, making it easy to operate and time-efficient. This mower not only offers stable and reliable performance but also ensures the safety of the operator.
Specifically, the HCN slope trimmer boasts several distinctive features:
01) A dual-arm, multi-joint design provides flexible control, enabling it to cross various barriers and perform long-distance trimming.
02) It offers a trimming width of 1 meter, with an interchangeable scythe design.
03) Equipped with a lateral shift function, it adapts to different operational conditions and covers a wider trimming area.
04) Features a deflection capability of 30 degrees, enhancing the product's adaptability.
05) The long arm can extend up to 4.6 meters, allowing for slope trimming within this range
06) In transport mode, the arms and bucket can be compacted together, reducing the space needed for transport and increasing safety.
07) The working device includes a spiral adjustment feature, allowing for angle adjustments as needed.
08) Equipped with a roller adjustment device for timely adjustment of the trimming height of weeds.
09) Features an axial piston motor with a compact design, high efficiency, good pressure resistance, and increased product lifespan.
10) Cone-sleeve type belt pulley with a simple structure, easy assembly/disassembly, stable transmission, shock-absorbing capabilities, low noise, and easy maintenance without the need for lubrication, thus reducing maintenance costs.
11) The working device comes with shock absorption and a floating function, which helps mitigate impacts and protect the working device from damage
HCN employed modern design principles in developing their Boom Mower, striving to enhance the reliability and efficiency of the equipment. This has resulted in a trimmer that is simple to operate, convenient, safe, cost-effective, fast, and efficient, with excellent trimming results. It overcomes the deficiencies present in some current market offerings, effectively boosting its competitive edge. Consequently, it has earned accolades and a strong following among users both domestically and internationally.
