XXL Airport Joker: a tailor-made solution that’s proving its worth!

After two years of use at Le Bourget and Roissy-Charles de Gaulle airports, the Joker XXL has proven its worth.

This tailor-made machine, designed to meet the specific requirements of airport runway edge management, can perform :

✅ Pesticide-free mechanical weeding: an eco-responsible solution that eliminates seed-bearing plants, thus reducing the attraction of birds.

✅ de-felting to reduce insect activity, which develops in the felt and attracts birds.

✅ surface replanting: to promote healthy plant cover and compete with undesirable plants.

✅ surface evenness: to facilitate mowing operations, saving time and improving operator comfort.

Our recommendation?

Working zone by zone, lift the machine every 50 to 100 metres, depending on the amount of felt removed, then leave a swath to be picked up with an agricultural harvester.

Two years on:

🌿 Windrows are now spaced further apart.

🌾 Felt and dry matter are significantly reduced.

A fine example of collaboration with Cobalys and Aéroports de Paris, between innovation, sustainability and performance in a field where every detail counts.
