AUTOMOWER TAKES UP RESIDENCE
At the Tower Of London

Husqvarna Automower has been deployed at the Tower of London to ensure the capital’s oldest lawns are well maintained as we head in to spring.

 

Husqvarna Automower at The Tower of London

 

The first battery powered machine was installed last year, and due to its success, its fleet was expanded earlier this year to include three new residents.

 

Purchased by The Tower of London’s ground’s maintenance contractor, Ground Control, two robots have been installed on the lawns surrounding the castle moat, and will be deployed each morning, come rain or shine.

 

Husqvarna Automower 535 AWD has also been installed on the lawn of the White Tower and will work throughout the night to avoid disturbing the resident ravens. 

 

Made in the UK, the robotic mowers will replace the ride-on diesel mowers previously used by Ground Control.

 

Husqvarna say they will provide head gardener, David Williams, with a more environmentally friendly way of keeping the prestigious lawns in outstanding condition and contributes to Ground Control’s Green strategy of 50% of all of hand tools being battery operated by 2025.

 

Husqvarna UK Professional manager, Kevin Ashmore said, “It’s fantastic for us to showcase Husqvarna Automower at such a prestigious and prominent attraction in our country’s capital. Lee Squires, David and his team will see huge benefits from the installation, not only environmental but in time saving, allowing his team to spend their time on other tasks.”

 

To mark the installation, the Tower of London has challenged followers to name their new resident. To put your suggestion forward, visit the Tower of London’s Twitter page.
