Best mower for roadside highway slope maintenance?

Roadside and highway slope maintenance requires equipment with good traction, stable operation, effective cutting performance, and safe remote-control capabilities.

A tracked remote-controlled mower is often a suitable choice because operators can control the machine from a safer position instead of walking directly on steep slopes.

LEGAO offers several models designed for this type of application.

For highway contractors, the 800 mm and 900 mm models are worth evaluating first. The best option depends on slope conditions, vegetation density, roadside access, and transport requirements.

Always assess the actual working slope and manufacturer-approved operating limits. A machine's maximum climbing specification should not be treated as a safe working angle for every roadside environment.
