Manual green maintenance suffers from low efficiency, severe safety risks and uncontrollable construction schedules. Developed by Fanuode, the FND-HS620 Intelligent Dual-Arm Full-Hydraulic Integrated Green Trimmer features simultaneous dual-arm operation, wireless remote control and multi-working-condition compatibility. It slashes the construction period by 60% under the same workload, addressing long-standing pain points in the industry and serving as the optimal solution for high-efficiency highway green maintenance.
Highway greening is a core landscape component of expressways, national and provincial arterial roads. Median barrier hedges, roadside shrubs, slope weeds and overhanging arbor branches all require periodic standardized trimming and maintenance. With the continuous expansion of China’s road network mileage, traffic maintenance bureaus and green engineering enterprises nationwide face large-scale, high-frequency green trimming demands year-round.
Before intelligent trimming machinery gained widespread adoption, most domestic highway green projects relied entirely on traditional manual trimming, which presents four persistent industry pain points:
1. Low construction efficiency and unpredictable maintenance schedules. Large-scale green maintenance covering hundreds of kilometers requires multiple manual teams to work in sections. Restricted by human physical limits and hand tools, the overall construction cycle becomes lengthy, often missing the optimal maintenance window.
2. High-risk working conditions leading to exorbitant safety control costs. Trimming on steep slopes, branches over 6 meters high, and traffic-heavy road sections forces workers to climb ladders and steep terrain, frequently causing falls and vehicle collision accidents. Enterprises must allocate extra funds for high-value accident insurance, road safety barriers and full-time on-site safety supervisors.
3. Uneven trimming results triggering rework that wastes massive construction time. Manual handheld hedge trimmers deliver inconsistent cutting force and angles, leaving uneven hedge surfaces and residual branches. Secondary trimming is mandatory to pass acceptance, further extending the overall project timeline.
4. Surging labor costs squeezing project profit margins. Skilled greening technicians are in short supply with rising daily wages. Labor expenses account for over 60% of total costs for large maintenance projects, continuously compressing profit space.
To resolve bottlenecks of manual trimming, the industry demands high-efficiency intelligent machinery for cost and time reduction. Independently developed by Fanuode with full intellectual property rights, the FND-HS620 Intelligent Dual-Arm Full-Hydraulic Integrated Green Trimmer leverages synchronous dual mechanical arms, all-in-one multi-condition operation and wireless remote intelligent control. It cuts the overall construction period by 60% for equivalent green maintenance workloads, emerging as a transformative solution for highway green maintenance upgrades.
Traditional manual trimming relies on single operators carrying portable hedge trimmers and brush cutters, with limited daily trimming mileage per worker. Separate sets of tools are required for median barrier hedges, slope weeds and high branches, demanding staged mobilization: dedicated tools for hedge trimming, separate cutters for slope vegetation, plus scaffolding and ladders for high-branch pruning. Tool handling, equipment switching and staff rotation generate substantial idle downtime.
Take a 50-kilometer expressway median barrier maintenance project as an example: the manual solution requires a 10–15 worker team split into 3–4 work zones, with a full construction cycle of 7–10 days. Timelines stretch further under high temperatures or rainy weather, as outdoor manual work cannot proceed continuously. Human operators have natural physical limits, delivering only 4–6 hours of effective work daily, frequently leading to schedule delays for centralized large-scale maintenance tasks.
Highway green operations run alongside live traffic, paired with two major dangerous working environments: steep slopes and heights above 6 meters.
1. Slope workers lack stable footing and risk slipping on loose soil and overgrown weeds, causing falls.
2. High-branch trimming requires portable ladders, where vehicle vibration and broken branches may lead to severe worker injuries.
3. Construction zones demand lane closures and extensive safety warning barriers, disrupting normal traffic flow and introducing risks of vehicles intruding into work areas.
To mitigate hazards, enterprises must hire dedicated safety officers, purchase comprehensive worker accident insurance and supply full protective gear, inflating project overheads. Any safety incident triggers work stoppages and compensation claims, further delaying maintenance progress.
1. Rework delays from substandard trimming quality: Manual trimming consistency depends entirely on worker experience, resulting in crooked hedge lines and incompletely severed thick branches. Failed acceptance requires secondary trimming, adding 20–30% extra working hours.
2. Skyrocketing labor expenditure: Qualified green technicians are scarce, with cumulative costs covering wages, accommodation, transportation and insurance reaching substantial sums for multi-person teams.
3. Extended transit downtime from multiple equipment mobilizations. Manual workflows require repeated site visits, tool assembly and transportation for hedge, slope and high-branch trimming, wasting productive hours on road transit and equipment commissioning.
The FND-HS620 Intelligent Dual-Arm Full-Hydraulic Trimmer achieves a 60% cycle reduction through four transformative technical upgrades in mechanical structure, hydraulic cutting power, intelligent operation and multi-scenario compatibility, fundamentally eliminating efficiency bottlenecks of manual labor.
Equipped with independent primary and secondary trimming arms, this machine stands out from single-arm trimmers and manual teams:
1. Primary Arm Assembly: 3-section folding arm with 1-meter telescopic stroke, 360° full rotation and 210° arm folding range, delivering a maximum trimming height of 6,500 mm. Fitted with a 1,500 mm wide hedge cutter head, it handles median barrier top trimming, 6.5-meter high arbor branch pruning and large-area slope mowing.
2. Secondary Arm Assembly: 2-section folding telescopic arm with a maximum trimming height of 2,000 mm, paired with a 1,000 mm hedge cutter head specialized for low roadside shrubs and median barrier vertical side trimming.
3. Synchronous working advantage: The primary arm trims horizontal surfaces and high branches while the secondary arm cuts vertical shrubs simultaneously. One vehicle pass completes both top and vertical hedge shaping, cutting travel cycles in half versus manual workflows that require two separate passes.
The 1,000 mm total telescopic stroke and 360° unrestricted rotation eliminate frequent truck repositioning for height and side adjustments, drastically cutting vehicle relocation and positioning waiting time. Modular attachments including CS1500 hedge cutters, RDS1500 high-branch cutters and MT1250 slope mowers enable fast tool switching. A single machine replaces dozens of manual handheld tools, removing the need for staged mobilization of multiple separate pieces of equipment.
Powered by a Yuchai diesel engine and a full-hydraulic control system with a uniform 18 MPa working pressure, cutter heads reach a maximum rotational speed of 3,000 r/min:
1. Hinged movable blades cut branches with diameters ranging from 0 to 20 mm in a single pass, eliminating repeated back-and-forth cutting and boosting section trimming speed by over 300%.
2. Mechanical equipment has no physical fatigue limits, supporting stable 8-hour daily continuous operation without efficiency drops from worker fatigue or rest breaks.
3. Hydraulic drive delivers smooth, low-noise operation that does not interfere with road traffic or nearby residents, allowing all-day construction without noise restriction shutdowns and extending daily effective working hours.
Fitted with a wireless LCD remote operation system, operators can control the entire machine from a safe zone far from traffic and steep slopes:
1. Traditional trimming projects of equivalent scale require teams of 5–8 staff (operators, safety supervisors, material handlers and climbing workers). The FND-HS620 only needs one operator, slashing labor input by over 80%.
2. Remote operation keeps workers away from hazardous lane and slope zones, drastically lowering accident risks and eliminating schedule delays caused by safety incidents.
3. The LCD display visualizes real-time data including arm angles, hydraulic pressure and cutter rotational speed for intuitive operation. New staff can complete independent work after short training, removing reliance on high-wage veteran green technicians.
One unit fully covers all highway green maintenance scenarios for expressways and national/provincial roads: synchronous median barrier horizontal & vertical trimming, low roadside shrub pruning, 6.5-meter high-branch cutting, slope weed clearing and road shoulder lawn finishing. Manual workflows require three separate site visits and multi-stage construction, while this trimmer completes the full project in one mobilization. It eliminates downtime from repeated transit, safety barrier installation/removal and staff reallocation, delivering comprehensive construction cycle compression.
Benchmarked on a 50-kilometer expressway project covering median barrier and roadside green maintenance, the table below quantifies gaps in construction cycle, labor cost, trimming quality and safety downtime:
· Traditional manual team (12 workers): Full construction cycle of 8 days, including segmented work, secondary rework and weather-related shutdown losses.

Project tender evaluations heavily weight construction duration and total costs. Deploying the FND-HS620 dual-arm trimmer cuts project cycles by 60% and drastically reduces labor and safety overheads. When bidding on large-scale maintenance contracts, enterprises can satisfy clients’ fast-delivery requirements while compressing operational costs, lifting bid winning rates and project profit margins. The all-in-one design also eliminates capital expenditure on multiple single-function trimming machines, optimizing fixed asset investment.
Traditional manual trimming exposes workers to three persistent hazards: high elevations, steep slopes and live traffic, paired with extreme physical labor. Intelligent remote-controlled machinery removes operators from dangerous work zones, automating heavy cutting and high-place pruning tasks to reduce physical strain. This alleviates the industry’s longstanding recruitment and staff retention challenges.
Manual maintenance requires prolonged lane closures and extensive safety barrier layouts, frequently triggering traffic congestion. Mechanized trimming drastically compresses construction timelines and traffic control durations, minimizing disruptions to public travel and aligning with transport authorities’ goals of efficient, people-friendly maintenance.
China’s expanding road network renders labor-intensive manual workflows incapable of meeting large-scale, standardized maintenance demands. Multi-functional intelligent hydraulic trimmers such as the FND-HS620 unify trimming standards and operational workflows, driving the industry’s transition from labor-reliant to intelligent machinery-driven operations. Beyond highway applications, municipal roads, scenic resorts and industrial parks will progressively adopt multi-purpose intelligent trimming equipment.
Three core technical advantages enable the FND-HS620 Intelligent Dual-Arm Trimmer to cut construction timelines by 60% under identical workloads:
1. Synchronous primary & secondary arm operation completes horizontal and vertical hedge shaping in one vehicle pass, halving travel cycles;
2. Interchangeable modular attachments deliver full coverage of hedge, high-branch and slope maintenance in a single site mobilization, eliminating segmented multi-stage construction;
3. Single-operator wireless remote control replaces large manual teams, supporting uninterrupted all-day operation without physical fatigue. Standardized one-pass shaping eliminates rework and all hidden schedule losses.
Rising labor costs, stricter safety supervision and growing road network maintenance demand collectively push the green maintenance industry toward mechanized transformation.
