Safer construction sites

By MJ Woof May 30, 2024 Read time: 1 min

Leica Geosystems is offering a new system that is said to help boost safety for personnel on construction sites. The innovative PA10 system utilises new technology to identify when personnel may be walking around a jobsite. The system then alerts machine operators to the presence as well as the location of construction personnel. At the same time, the system will warn any personnel walking around a site that construction machines are operating in the immediate vicinity.

Thomas Bonvalot of Leica Geosystems explained, “It’s a personnel awareness system. Everybody onsite will know where a machine is working and the machine operator will know there is a pedestrian.”

  • Bucket versatility from IEV
    April 25, 2024

    An innovative system from French firm IEV could allow customers to use a wheeled loader to take the place of a grader onsite. The quick attachment system offers 30° of rotation to either left or right for the wheeled loader bucket.

    Used in conjunction with machine control technology from Leica Geosystems to adjust bucket angle, the IEV attachment system allows a loader to take the place of a grader for many duties such as haul road maintenance or preparation duties. However, a sideshift feature has not been developed so far.
