Energreen America continued its Southeastern equipment showcase with stop at James River Equipment at 1571 Julian Rd. Salisbury, N.C., on April 16, 2026. The event gave contractors and government agencies a close look at its specialized boom mowers and remote control slope mowers designed for challenging terrain.
The event was one of several stops across North Carolina as part of a regional tour that followed similar demonstrations in Virginia. James River Equipment serves as the Energreen dealer in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Delaware.
"These events allow people to see the machines up close and understand how they fit into real-world operations," Bill Stewart, regional sales manager of Energreen America, told Construction Equipment Guide. "When customers can walk around the equipment and ask questions, it makes a big difference."
The machines are commonly used for roadside mowing and vegetation maintenance.
"Currently, 85 percent of our market is governmental entities for the roadside maintenance and mowing, vegetation, maintenance, but we do have a growing number of private entities with our dedicated boom mowers in a niche market, with some of the high end tree care and mowing contractors that are going after state mowing contracts," said Stewart.
Much of that interest is driven by the company's remote control slope mowers, which appeal to a broader range of users. Commercial landscapers and vegetation management contractors are increasingly turning to the machines for steep slope maintenance, light land clearing and specialized mowing work, according to Stewart.
Energreen offers seven remote control mower models. The lineup ranges from a 26-hp gasoline unit with a 40-in. underbelly capable of handling 1.5-in. material to diesel-powered tool carriers from 25 to 100 hp.
The machines support roughly 28 attachments and are rated to operate safely on slopes up to 61 degrees, with the 100-hp model rated for slopes up to 55 degrees, according to the company. The largest remote control unit measures about 6 ft. wide and can be equipped with a mulching head capable of handling 6- to 8-in. material.
Energreen also showcased its dedicated boom mower line. The company produces seven boom mower models with reach ranging from 19 ft. to 50 ft., including machines in the 33- to 50-ft. range.
"All Energreen equipment is manufactured in Italy," said Stewart.
The company produces its cutting heads, cabs, body panels, booms and chassis in-house, allowing for tighter quality control and greater flexibility across its lineup. Energreen America supports the North American market and maintains a global presence on every continent except Antarctica.
