A CITY CONTRACTOR REPLACED ITS SNOW REMOVAL CREW WITH THIS ROBOT AND SAVED $58,000 IN ONE STORM SEASON.
This dual-armed robot rolls along a snow covered courtyard, gripping a shovel in each arm and clearing wide paths through fresh snowfall with steady repeated strokes. The contractor piloting this unit reportedly saved close to $58,000 across a single winter, since one robot handled overnight and early morning snow clearing across an entire housing block that used to require a full crew on emergency call.
Snow removal contracts are notoriously expensive because storms hit unpredictably and crews need to be paid premium rates for last minute, early hour shifts. A robot that just rolls outside and starts shoveling the moment snow falls removes that entire scheduling and overtime cost.
Cities and property managers watching pilots like this are already lining up trials for their own properties, since the savings show up after just one storm.
