Leica Geosystems says that sophisticated PowerDigger 2D guidance system for excavators offers automatic slope control. The system expands on its PowerSnap technology and is said to make excavating easier and more productive. The system uses a standard panel whether fitted to a dozer, excavator or grader, which is also said to save money on training and equipment, as well as reducing down time.
Leica PowerDigger 2D system allows multiple elevations and slopes to be constructed at any orientation, witho
Voegele’s WITOS Paving allows project managers to view site operation data, which helps avoid costly disruptions, the company says.
