Airports face constant challenges when it comes to keeping their runways, taxiways and airfields clean, safe and operational. Efficient grass management and debris removal are vital parts of airport safety management, not just for appearance or maintenance, but to actively reduce the risk of wildlife strikes and prevent foreign object debris (FOD) incidents. TRILO offers powerful, reliable and efficient solutions for every airport type, from international hubs to regional and military airfields.
Bird and wildlife strikes remain a global safety concern for the aviation industry, with increasing aircraft movements and growing bird populations around airports. One proven way to control this risk is through professional grass management and immediate removal of grass clippings and debris. Loose clippings and FOD can be picked up by engines or blown onto runways, creating serious hazards for aircraft.
TRILO has spent years working alongside airport managers, contractors and habitat specialists to develop machinery tailored to these specific airport needs, combining high-capacity mowing, direct collection and FOD removal in one efficient operation.
Leaving grass clippings on the airfield isn’t just untidy, it attracts birds and insects, increases wildlife presence, and raises the risk of debris-related incidents. By collecting clippings immediately after mowing, you eliminate food sources like seed heads and prevent organic debris from clogging drains or being blown onto critical areas.
At the same time, FOD such as plastic waste, paper, loose parts and other debris is safely collected during the same operation, significantly reducing the need for manual FOD walks and increasing airfield safety.
Whether you manage a busy international airport, a military air base or a regional airfield, TRILO’s mowing and debris collection systems help you keep your airside areas clean, safe and compliant, with minimum downtime and maximum control. Efficient leaf, grass and debris collection with smart technology.
That’s what TRILO delivers.
TRILO’s airport management machines are designed to support airside operations teams at international, regional, civil and military airports. Keeping runways, taxiways and safety areas clear of grass clippings, debris and FOD is crucial for flight safety and operational continuity. With TRILO, airport operators can schedule mowing and cleaning tasks with minimal runway downtime, reduce the frequency of manual FOD walks and meet strict safety standards efficiently.
Specialist contractors who provide maintenance services for airports need reliable, high-capacity equipment to perform within tight airfield time slots and operational restrictions.
