HONGTAI “Tank” Series Commercial Heavy-Duty Remote Control Slope Mower (TK-800 / TK-1000)

Tank Series: The Commercial Heavy Duty Remote Control Slope Mower for Extreme Terrain

Some ground is simply too steep, too overgrown or too large for compact slope mowers. The HONGTAI Tank Series commercial heavy duty remote control slope mower is built for that work. A Loncin 608cc commercial engine delivers 11.5 kW (15.4 HP) to a low, wide crawler chassis that climbs and cuts on slopes of up to 50°, while the operator controls everything from up to 1,000 m (3,280 ft) away.

Available in two cutting widths, TK-800 (800 mm) and TK-1000 (1,000 mm), the Tank Series is designed for highway and railway embankments, solar power plants, forestry firebreaks, reservoir dams and large estates. With snow plow, sprayer and transport attachments, it works all year round. It is supplied factory direct to dealers, rental fleets, contractors and OEM partners worldwide.

Extreme 50° Slope Capability

Anti-Rollover Chassis Design

The Tank Series chassis is only 700 mm (27.6 in) high but up to 1,530 mm (60.2 in) wide. This low, wide stance, combined with an operating weight of 300 – 340 kg (661 – 750 lbs), keeps the center of gravity low and spreads the load across all-terrain, high-grip rubber tracks. The result is a machine rated to work slopes of up to 50°, terrain where ride-on mowers are prohibited and walk-behind machines put crews at risk.

Operator Out of Harm’s Way

Electric start and an industrial wireless remote control let the operator start and stop the engine, control throttle and steer from up to 1,000 m away. A one-touch emergency stop shuts the machine down instantly. Nobody needs to ride, walk or stand on the slope.

Precise Control on Any Ground

Variable travel speed from 0 to 6 km/h (0 – 3.7 mph) lets operators slow down for steep sections and move quickly on flatter ground. 360° zero-turn steering makes the Tank Series agile between solar panel rows, orchard lines and tight corners.

Loncin 608cc Heavy Power

• Loncin 608cc commercial engine: 11.5 kW (15.4 HP) at 3,600 rpm, with the torque reserve to cut dense, tall vegetation while climbing.
• Emission compliant: EPA, CE and EU Stage V compliant engine options for North American and European markets.
• Self-generating electrical system: the engine charges the onboard 24V 12Ah battery while running, so long shifts don’t drain the electrical system.
• Split circuit controller: drive, cutting and control circuits are managed independently for reliable operation and easier troubleshooting.
• Long runtime: a 9 L (2.4 US gal) fuel tank gives 3 – 5 hours of continuous work per fill, with fuel consumption of ≤ 370 g/kW·h.

All-Season Versatility: Mow, Plow, Spray and Haul

A single Tank Series carrier replaces several seasonal machines. Optional attachments turn it into a year-round work platform:

• Snow plow: clear access roads, solar farm aisles and parking areas in winter.
• Sprayer: apply herbicides, pesticides or foliar feeds across orchards, vineyards and plantations without exposing operators to chemicals on steep ground.
• Transport platform: move tools, materials and harvested crops across rough terrain.
• Side cutting deck: extend cutting reach along fences, ditches and embankment edges.
• Engine cover: extra protection for the engine in heavy brush and forestry work.
• 48V electrical system: custom 48V electrical configurations available on request.

Cutting height adjusts electrically from the remote between 10 mm and 200 mm (0.4 – 7.9 in), from maintained turf to tall grass and rough overgrowth, at working rates of 2,000+ m² (21,500+ ft²) per hour.

Typical Applications

• Highway, railway and canal embankment vegetation control
• Solar power plant ground maintenance
• Forestry firebreaks, wasteland and overgrown land clearing
• Reservoir dams, river levees and flood-control slopes
• Large orchards, vineyards and hillside plantations
• Municipal parks and green belts, with winter snow clearing

Frequently Asked Questions

What slope can a commercial heavy duty remote control slope mower like the Tank Series handle?

The Tank Series is rated for working slopes of up to 50°. Its low 700 mm profile, wide track stance and 300 – 340 kg operating weight keep it stable on steep ground. Always assess soil moisture and surface conditions before working extreme slopes.

Should I choose the TK-800 or the TK-1000?

The TK-800 (800 mm cut, 1,330 mm wide) suits orchards, solar rows and sites with narrower access. The TK-1000 (1,000 mm cut, 1,530 mm wide) maximizes output on large open slopes and roadside verges.

How long does it run on one tank of fuel?

The 9 L fuel tank provides 3 – 5 hours of continuous operation depending on vegetation and slope. The self-generating system keeps the 24V battery charged during operation.

Can the Tank Series be used outside mowing season?

Yes. With the optional snow plow, sprayer and transport platform, the same machine handles snow clearing, spraying and material transport, making it a true all-season carrier.

Is the engine compliant for the US and EU?

Yes. The Loncin 608cc engine is offered with EPA compliance for North America and CE / EU Stage V compliance for Europe. Certificates are available on request.
