Public works departments manage a wide variety of seasonal and daily tasks. From snow clearing and road maintenance to watering plants and collecting debris, there is always something to do. When one machine can handle multiple jobs with a variety of attachments, departments save time, reduce downtime, and get more done.
Efficient Attachment Changes for Public Works Operators
Switching attachments efficiently allows public works teams to move from one task to the next without delay. Why is this important?
- Crews can stay on-site and switch tasks without bringing in another machine.
- Fewer machines on the job means less traffic and easier coordination.
- Efficient attachment changes reduce idle time, saving fuel and labour.
Let’s consider a sports field park as an example. Operators could aerate and mow green spaces by bringing both attachments to their location and swapping out the attachments during the day.
Ongoing Machine Maintenance
Next, maintaining one multi-purpose machine is far easier than managing a fleet of specialized units.
- Preventive maintenance becomes more consistent and less complicated.
- Mechanics can focus on one machine, leading to faster repairs and fewer mistakes.
- Public works departments don’t need to stock as many parts or tools.
- Reliable maintenance reduces surprise breakdowns and keeps projects on schedule.
Because the MT7 is in constant use, it is easier to plan for regular service without major disruptions.
Operator Ease of Use
Another important benefit for public works departments is that operators only need to learn one machine, which improves efficiency and safety.
- Training is faster when everyone uses the same controls and systems.
- There is less risk of error when switching between attachments.
- Operators become more confident and capable over time.
- Crews can quickly adapt to new tasks with minimal supervision.
As a result, teams become more productive and require less downtime for training or troubleshooting.
Cost-Savings for Public Works Departments
Finally, investing in a Trackless MT with multiple attachments is more affordable for public works departments than buying several single-use machines.
- One MT7 can replace three or more specialized vehicles.
- Fewer machines mean lower insurance and registration costs.
- Departments can reduce storage space and related expenses.
- Capital funds go further when one purchase supports year-round use.
For instance, one MT7 with mowing, sweeping, and snow removal attachments can be used in every season.
Public works departments benefit from equipment that can do more with less. The Trackless MT7 is designed to reduce downtime, simplify training, and cut long-term costs. With the right attachments, it can handle dozens of tasks throughout the year. That means fewer machines, more efficiency, and better service for your community.
