The French Senate, which is tasked with the maintenance of the Luxembourg Garden, assigns the mission of trimming its tall hedges to a landscaping company.
The trimming is carried out by a specially-designed machine, mounted on a wheeled vehicle, whose cutter can reach a height of 21 meters. Assisted by a laser guidance system, a circular saw placed at the end of a telescopic arm ensures precise cutting. An operator, sitting in a cabin at the top of the aerial lift, guides the trimming process.
