The manufacturer’s Android platform for excavators and dozers automates the boom and bucket, offering a 30% boost to productivity while reducing operator fatigue.
Using robotic total stations and Millimeter GPS, Topcon’s ZS100 combines two existing technologies to give operators fewer set-ups, fewer instruments – and a much simpler job site
Leica Geosystems has released a cloud solution to integrate, manage and analyse surveying and control workflows for heavy construction projects: ConX will increase efficiency and reduce downtime, the company says
The company wants to offer operators ‘tomorrow’s edge today’ and, with 22 machines on display, Hyundai believes it can do just that at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2017 – with four themes shining through: performance, convenience, serviceability and safety
The Sandstorm 620 fully modular washing unit has been the star of McCloskey Washing Systems’ stand at CONEXPO-CON/AGG 2017 – and the company has also produced a brand new version of the 154V3 impact crusher
