A few new additions have joined the Hanover DPW fleet!
This week, we took delivery of three pieces of equipment that were approved by the Spring 2026 Town Meeting as part of our Capital Improvement Program. We'd like to thank Hanover residents for your continued support of investing in the equipment our crews rely on every day to keep Hanover running.
๐๐๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐ข๐๐ค๐ฎ๐ฉ ๐๐ซ๐ฎ๐๐ค: This truck replaces an aging vehicle and will serve as a mobile office and command center for our Deputy Superintendent of Field Operations. It will be used to supervise and support our Highway, Public Grounds, Transfer Station, Water Divisions, and Snow & Ice Operations, allowing staff to stay connected and respond quickly to projects, emergencies, and day-to-day operations across town.
๐๐๐ฉ๐ฅ๐๐๐๐ฆ๐๐ง๐ญ ๐๐" ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ: This mower replaces one that had reached the end of its useful life. Our Grounds Division maintains more than 100 acres of Town property every week, including parks, athletic fields, cemeteries, schools, and other public spaces. Reliable equipment is essential to keeping up with that workload and ensuring our crews can continue maintaining these properties efficiently.
๐๐ฎ๐ญ๐จ๐ง๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฎ๐ฌ ๐๐" ๐๐จ๐ฐ๐๐ซ: This is an exciting new addition to our fleet. One of the best features is its flexibilityโit can be operated just like a traditional 72" stand-on mower or run fully autonomously. When operating autonomously, our staff can focus on the work that still requires a human touch, like cleanup, detail mowing, trimming, landscaping, and field preparation. It's another tool that helps us make the most of our existing workforce while maintaining a high level of service.
Every piece of equipment we replace or add is about giving our employees the tools they need to work safely, efficiently, and effectively. Investments like these help us reduce downtime, improve productivity, and continue providing the services our residents depend on and expect every day.
Thank you again to everyone who supported these capital investments. We appreciate your continued confidence in the Hanover DPW, and we're excited to put these new additions to work for the community!
