GRADEMETRIX® EXCAVATOR-3

COST SAVINGS – EMBANKMENT OVERCUT If a batter is overcut by 0.5m over 500m length, the overcut would total 2,500m3. Additional excavator time could be as much as 25 hours and 166 truckloads would be needed at 15m3 per truck. The total cost would be more than the cost of the guidance system. A GNSS guidance system saves you between 30-50% in material cost, staff cost, and operation cost and improves your production time by the same factor. Intuitive Menu Design Multiple Views Supports large DTM‘s RIGHT THE FIRST TIME – Work Faster – Reduced reliance on operator skill. REDUCED SURVEY COST – Manage...
