Maintaining an airport is a complex and demanding task, requiring a versatile and efficient approach to address various challenges. The Trackless MT7, equipped with an array of specialized attachments, provides an all-in-one solution for comprehensive airport upkeep. Here’s how the MT7 and its attachments can help solve some of the most common airport maintenance problems.
Ensuring Safety and Efficiency on Walkways
Pedestrian walkways are crucial for any airport, ensuring safe and efficient passenger movement. Proper maintenance keeps these pathways smooth and debris-free, enhancing both safety and operational efficiency. Regular upkeep minimizes disruptions and delays, helping maintain compliance with safety regulations. By addressing minor issues before they escalate, airports can avoid costly repairs and improve passenger experience and safety.
The Trackless Solution: Power Angle Sweeper
The Power Angle Sweeper attachment for the MT7 plays a vital role in keeping runways and walkways clear of debris, snow, and ice. This attachment ensures that surfaces remain clean and safe for airport operations.
The Power Angle Sweeper is available in various widths: 3′, 4′, 5′, 6′, 7′, and 8′.
Streamlining Snow and Ice Management
Winter conditions present significant challenges for airport maintenance teams. Snow and ice accumulation on walkways can severely impact operations and safety, posing slip-and-fall risks for passengers and staff. Therefore, removing these hazards efficiently is critical to prevent accidents and maintain accessibility. Harsh winter weather can also accelerate wear and tear on infrastructure. Proactive and timely maintenance is essential to avoid extensive repairs and ensure the airport remains operational and safe during severe weather.
The Trackless Solution: Double Trip Plow
The MT7’s Double Trip Plow is specifically designed to tackle heavy snow and ice on sidewalks, ensuring safe passage for passengers and staff. By efficiently removing snow without damaging the underlying surfaces, this attachment enhances safety and accessibility throughout the airport complex.

Maintaining Pristine Green Spaces
Airports often feature extensive green areas like landscaped lawns, garden beds, and natural buffers. Consistent mowing and maintenance enhance the airport’s visual appeal and functionality. Regular mowing prevents overgrowth, which can attract wildlife or obscure visibility, contributing to overall safety and accessibility.
The Trackless Solution: Rotary Finishing Mower
The Rotary Finishing Mower attachment for the MT7 offers a solution for keeping these spaces well-groomed and visually appealing. Its ability to provide a uniform cut over large areas ensures that the airport’s landscaped areas remain attractive and welcoming for visitors. While the 14′ Rotary Finishing Mower may be the ideal size for airports, allowing them to mow up to 10 acres per hour, the mower is also available in a 6′ and 10′ width.
Managing Diverse Terrains and Vegetation
Airports have diverse terrains, from flat walkways to slopes and ditches. Each terrain requires specific vegetation control measures. Proper management maintains clear sightlines, prevents overgrowth, and reduces wildlife hazards. Addressing soil erosion and drainage issues is also important. Regular, targeted vegetation control keeps all areas in optimal condition, ensuring safety and functionality.
The Trackless Solution: Boom Flail Mower
The Boom Flail Mower attachment addresses this need by providing precise mowing capabilities in hard-to-reach areas, such as slopes and ditches. This attachment handles thick vegetation and small brush with ease, maintaining clear sightlines and reducing wildlife hazards around the airport perimeter.
