AS-Motor offers solutions for municipal maintenance

Municipal operators trust AS-Motor’s professional technology when caring for public green areas.

Municipal maintenance workers are responsible for a broad spectrum of tasks such as maintaining roads, playgrounds and parks as well as street cleaning, winter service, and tree care. In the summer months, municipal green areas and leisure facilities including sports fields and amateur football fields become a priority. AS-Motor offers professional technology for many of these applications, guaranteeing excellent work results while prioritizing operator health and safety standards.

AS-Motor applications for municipal maintenance:

Parks

Parks play an important role as recreational spaces and “green lungs” for surrounding neighborhoods. AS-Motor’s mulching mowers and professional lawn mowers are excellent tools for the care and preservation of these green areas.

Cobblestone areas

AS-Motor is a trailblazer in the realm of mechanical weed removal. The AS 30 and AS 50 offer weed removal solutions for large car parks and uneven cobblestone surfaces without the use of chemicals.

Road maintenance

Roadside greenery improves drivers’ visual guidance as well as road safety. AS-Motor Allmähers provide the advantage of high work rates and outstanding mulching results in maintaining city and community roads, especially when high grass is involved. AS-Motor’s walk-behind 2-stroke mowers are excellent solutions for embankments and steep slopes.

Playgrounds and leisure facilities

AS-Motor’s professional lawn mowers and mulching mowers are the best solution for playgrounds with angled green areas, bushes and trees. The devices’ rotated engine ensures minimal pressure on the grass and a polished cutting result. The operator decides whether the cuttings are then collected or mulched to serve as natural fertiliser.

Customer reviews
We have been waiting for a machine like this for a long time. Safety is now being increased when mowing large slopes, which is a frequent request from the company's management. We really like Sherpa!
– Boban Stanisavljević (machine operator, JKP "Ravno 2014" Ćuprija, Serbia)
The AS 940 Sherpa 4WD XL replaces a lot of manpower with brush cutters. It mows flawlessly where all other mowers we used would stop: On all extreme tall grass areas and steep slopes that used to be maintained with manpower and brush cutters, which took a lot of time. It has proven to be a very reliable, easy-to-use machine that always delivers excellent results.
– Šemso Kurtović (Lokom d.o.o. - Public Administration of the City of Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina)
The AS 940 SHERPA 4WD RC is a great helper when mowing tall grass. It works very well in steep terrain, and the best part is that it can also be controlled by remote control.
– Miroslav Šesták (Mechanic & Craftsman of Bratislava Capital, Slovakia)
We use the AS 901 SM especially on slopes, but also on straight, narrow areas. The good mowing pattern is still present even in long and dense grass. The purchase of this machine has considerably improved the safety of our staff. Another major advantage is that it makes the work easier for the staff and thus more efficient.
– Umweltbetrieb Bremen (Municipality of Bremen, Germany)

Johannes Hädicke (Redakteur für die KommunalTechnik-Medien)

Overall, the AS 63 2T ES is one of the absolute highlights of our test history at MOTORGERÄTE. Here, the product management has obviously listened very carefully to what the practice needs, and the designers have implemented this brilliantly. The result is a product that combines the entire know-how of a manufacturer steeped in history.
The new AS 30 WeedHex 160 was made available to us for a product test, and the results were convincing... The device is very easy to operate. The guide bar is adjustable to 3 positions, providing optimal adaptation. An emergency switch ensures safety.
– Beschaffungsdienst Galabau 03/2018 (trade journal for the landscaping industry, Germany)
The AS 531 performs incredible work. Even in wet conditions the large collection bag is completely filled, and slopes and hills are no problem for the 2-stroke engine.
– Wolfgang Klaiber (AS-Motor product specialist, Germany)

Professional technology

During the mowing season, professional operators often run their machines 5 days per week, 8 hours per day. AS-Motor’s machines are unbeatable in terms of quality, durability and professional work results. Additional advantages include low weight, lashing points and compact transport dimensions.

Ornamental lawns

Ornamental lawns in both private gardens and public facilities can be maintained with either mulching or collecting mowers. When mulching, the finely-shredded cuttings remain on the surface as natural fertiliser, while collection bags help the operator transport cuttings to a disposal point. Lawns are usually mowed once per week to a cutting height of 40–50 mm, from a maximum height of 15 cm.

Flower meadows

A natural environment for bees, flower meadows make an important contribution to biodiversity and preserving our ecosystem. Flower meadows can quickly grow 40 cm high before blossoming and should be mowed 3–4 times per year. Our professional lawn mowers, mulching mowers with side discharge as well as Allmähers and ride-on mowers help care for flower meadows.

High meadow grass

Because mowing of meadow orchards and roadside greenery can occur only once or twice per year, grass, perennials and shrubbery can grow up to 100 cm high. AS-Motor’s walk-behind Allmähers and ride-on Sherpas deliver high performance and outstanding mulching results in these conditions.

Mulching

Mulching is a process by which grass cuttings are shredded several times into a fine mulch, which then remains on the surface as natural fertiliser. Special mulching blades with a double cutting plane and a circular mulching unit are used on ornamental lawns, while cross-blade systems or flail mowers are primarily used in high grass.

Uneven terrain

Animal burrows, anthills, mole hills and water channels cause uneven terrain. Several AS-Motor machines have high ground clearance, all-wheel drive and limited slip differential, along with appropriately studded field tyres, for uneven terrain.

Slopes

AS-Motor engineers machines with high ground clearance, steep ramp angles, low overall weight, optimal weight distribution and a low centre of gravity to perform on slopes.

All-wheel drive

All-wheel drive not only ensures performance on inclines over 30 degrees, but also a high level of safety for travel downhill. All-wheel drive delivers propulsion in wet conditions and on uneven terrain – even if the wheels of one axle no longer have traction.

Remote-control

Remote controlled devices make the mowing of extreme slopes possible. This technology also allows the operator to mow at a safe distance from dust, wasps, ticks and other hazards.

Interlocking paving stones

The AS 50’s high work rate delivers efficient weed removal on large and uneven surfaces such as a car parks, commercial areas and paths. A collection bag eliminates the need for sweeping and surface cleaning.

Cobblestones

Cobblestones and uneven paved areas can be treated for weeds, without the use of chemicals, using mechanical methods. The agile AS 30 is designed for work close to edges, water inlet channels, manholes and on traffic islands with posts and signs.
