UK distributor, T H White's Machinery Imports division says the Spider remote controlled slope mower caught the attention of safety professionals looking at ways to maintain grassed areas safely, at the recent Safety & Health Expo which took place at ExCeL London.

Displayed on a platform at an angle of 55 degrees, the Spider 2SGS was there to demonstrate the latest innovations in safe professional mowing on banks, steep slopes and dangerous terrain.

The extreme gradient of the plinth highlighted the possible working angle of the mower, which is capable of cutting grass on slopes of up to 55 degrees with an integrated hydraulic winch for additional stability, or 40 degrees completely independently.

Stuart Winwood, area sales manager for Machinery Imports, said, “The Safety and Health Expo was an excellent opportunity to showcase the safety innovations of Spider in professional mowing to a wide, health and safety focused audience.

“During the course of the show we spoke to many interested parties, from local authorities to power plants and airports, all of whom were fascinated by the safety, productivity and financial benefits of Spider mowers for their business.

"We’re looking forward to seeing these people again for demonstrations and site visits over the coming weeks.”
