GPS Display on Excavators

LoadingAdd to my saved searches

The large excavators on MPact-Thales are able to use GPS to maintain line and level control.

Alongside the excavation model, MPact-Thales have developed a method for importing the utilities AutoCAD model into the excavator’s GPS display enabling operators to have a clear visualisation of the services within the areas they are working.

These serve as a constant reminder of the potential risks services pose and provide a real time accurate service location in relation to the excavator’s bucket.
