Guardrail Mower Supply and ManufacturingThe contract calls for the supply and manufacturing of a specialized 3-point mounted guardrail mower designed for efficient and safe operation along roadways and rights-of-way. The equipment features dual independently driven cutting heads to ensure precise trimming on both sides of guardrails, with a 60-inch straddle clearance that allows the mower to navigate between railings without requiring excessive repositioning.
