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.
The Sherpa is lightweight and has great off-road mobility. If I get stuck with the mower in a really wet spot, I lock the differential and maneuver out without any trouble. Moreover, the agricultural tyres guarantee grip on wet terrain
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.
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.

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
Flower meadows are structurally rich habitats that are extremely important for insects, wild bees, and species that depend on flowers. The key is not to mow frequently, but to cut at the right time. Before the flowering phase, the vegetation can quickly reach heights of 30–40 cm. After that, maintenance is carried out at longer intervals, usually once or twice a year.
This form of extensive use requires machines that can safely cut tall, heterogeneous vegetation without putting unnecessary strain on the area. Clean cuts, controlled deposition, and an adapted driving style are essential for preserving plant populations and enabling regeneration.
High meadow grass
Extensively used meadows such as orchards, compensation areas, or roadside greenery are deliberately mowed only once or twice a year. The vegetation reaches heights of 60 to over 100 cm and forms dense, structurally rich stands.
This form of maintenance serves to keep the area open and suppress woody plants, not to maintain the lawn. Machines with high throughput, uniform cutting performance, and controlled deposition of the cut material are required. This is the only way to efficiently manage large amounts of biomass without overloading the area or damaging the soil and vegetation.
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.
