Operating an excavator can be exhausting on its own but waiting for others can add delays and fatigue. What if your excavator could be part surveyor, part operator and part grade checker?
MC-Max Excavator can be set up to use its bucket to take topo shots, put in automatic control mode to implement designs like a veteran operator and constantly check its own grade work, keeping human grade checkers safely out of trenches and working on other tasks.
Choose to work in 2D or 3D guidance or automatic modes, with you in control at each step.
If you just want an indication of bucket-depth in relation to grade, a 2D solution will provide the guidance you need and the freedom to dig on your terms. On the other hand, if you need to precisely know your grade and where on the site you are positioned, putting MC-Max in 3D automatic-mode will keep you on-grade and tracking the design file without over- or under-excavating.
Evolve with the environment to move the earth
Digging a trench alongside an open highway may provide an unobstructed sky view needed for GNSS positioning and guidance. Excavating an underground parking garage in an urban center may require using robotic total stations for your positioning and machine control needs, if tall buildings and infrastructure make GPS an impossibility. MC-Max makes quick work of switching guidance modes to suit your situation.
