Highways
and roads

Cleaning and clearing is an important task of highway maintenance authorities to ensure reliable and safe driving conditions while improving road capacity and operational efficiency. 

With tight budget constraints,  high demand for improved safety and mobility together with prevalent concern on the environmental impact towards the usage of clearing abrasives, highway maintenance authorities rely on an economical and reliable as well as efficient fleet of cleaning and clearing units. Simultaneously, the need for digital solutions such as advanced weather information systems or automatic vehicle location for tracking fleet operations in order to optimise daily operations increasingly becomes relevant. 

Clearing the path to a better business

When talking about reliable and efficient cleaning and clearing solutions for highways and roads, it is important to consider the total cost of ownership and productivity in addition to product quality. While product quality defines the initial performance of a solution, reliability and the route to efficiency is related to the continuation of performance over time. With a reliable and efficient fleet, highway maintenance authorities reduce downtime, optimise efficiency, and use fewer resources to assure continuous maintenance of public safety. Looking back to 200 years of engineering history, Bucher Municipal provides high-quality products and services, that clear the path for highway maintenance authorities to profitable and efficient clearing operations.

Continuous performance 

With countless cars and trucks commuting to and from work at astonishing speed and changing weather conditions jeopardizing public safety within an instance, highways are among the most challenging and dangerous environments to operate in. Consequently, safety continues to be a key element in upholding efficient operations while expectations to safety standards for operators continue to increase.

At Bucher Municipal, we never take safety for granted. We prioritise safety for operators and for the people around the equipment by striving to ensure our equipment minimises the risk of accidents. We go above and beyond making sure our solutions raise the bar in safety procedures. We do this by covering every angle and by ensuring operators the best visibility, producing our equipment with large windows, external rear-view mirrors, and cameras to cover blind spots. We ensure safety in operations by training operators in the product application and by designing intelligent, intuitive control displays and remote controls. With improved maneuverability, our design allows operators to work in highly challenging terrains. By contributing to a better working environment for operators, solutions from Bucher Municipal contribute to safe operations in busy environments and increased output. 

A digital solution that leads the way to efficiency 

At Bucher Municipal, we raise the bar for intelligence with the introduction of Bucher Connect. With Bucher Connect, you can manage your fleet in one system in a premium support solution for sustainable and efficient operations - no matter the fleet size. Adding value to business partners, operators, the bottom line, and the environment, Bucher Connect enables premium support in planning and predicting application and in maintaining equipment.  

Our intelligent and automated digital services, enable fleet managers to improve operational efficiency for instance of snow removal by optimising spreading vehicle routing for deicing salt, consequently reducing environmental pollution and ultimately road maintenance cost. Moreover, highway maintenance authorities, benefit from the Bucher Connect auto­matic road gritting and intelligent route selection functions that enable to monitor vehicle cleaning records to ensure that all lanes and sections are properly cleaned. Despite, fleet managers use the preventive maintenance system in planning fleet availability and service of equipment, ultimately securing maximum uptime and efficient operations by being able to use the right equipment for the right application at the right time.
