Versatility Where Others Reach Their Limit

Maintaining former Royal Air Force sites such as Waterbeach and Alconbury involves a wide range of terrain conditions. Steep embankments, uneven ground, exposed roots and large grass areas all require regular maintenance throughout the year. For contractors like JJM Services, working on these sites means operating in highly demanding conditions where standard machinery quickly reaches its operational boundaries.

Built for Terrain That Stops Conventional Machines

This is where the Aebi Terratrac makes the difference. Its combination of low weight, stability and traction allows operators to work safely on slopes and sensitive ground without compromising efficiency or surface quality.

"Main challenges that we face are banks and large areas of grass which need clearing quite quickly," explains James McGreevy from JJM Services. "The Aebi Terratrac allows us to do that."

"There aren’t many things that can cut banks and clear them. There are robots and such, but nothing is as comfortable as sitting in a cabin and doing those tasks."

What previously required time-consuming manual work can now be completed consistently and efficiently with the machine.

Efficiency in Every Movement

Beyond open terrain, these sites also include confined areas with posts, trees and structures that require constant manoeuvring. Frequent stopping, turning and direction changes are part of everyday work.

"The best feature is probably the hydrostatic drive because there’s a lot of turning, a lot of stopping and starting. You haven’t got to change gear," James continuous.

Combined with four-wheel steering, the machine delivers precise handling even in complex layouts, reducing operator fatigue and improving workflow continuity.

Support That Keeps Operations Moving

Reliable performance depends not only on the machine itself, but also on fast and responsive support when needed.

JJM Services points to the responsiveness of Aebi Schmidt’s UK team as an important part of maintaining workflow continuity: "The Aebi Schmidt UK team helped us very well. They’re very responsive when we call them. If we need any help, they’re there."

Designed for Demanding Landscapes

The work on former RAF sites clearly shows what the Aebi Terratrac is designed for: challenging environments where traction, stability and versatility are essential.

From steep embankments to obstacle-rich maintenance areas, it enables contractors to work more efficiently, safely and consistently.
