Indicate makes your job easier
and more productive

 

Indicate is an entry-level grade system where operators of all skill levels can simply select a target depth and slope from the in-cab guidance system. The monitor then provides real-time, work-in-progress feedback and distance to grade. 

Ideal for work in and around footings, septic systems, residential foundations, slope work and similar applications, Indicate gives you:

  • Improved accuracy and precision
  • Reduced fatigue from overcutting, overswinging and reworking
  • Safer work zones with less need for on-the-ground grade checking
  • Enhanced operator productivity and efficiency
  • Lower overall operating costs

Designed as an entry-level grading system for operators of all skill levels, Indicate helps you easily monitor grade in real-time as you work towards your target depth.

of

E-Fence is your first line of defense.

 

Overhead power lines, underground cables, nearby electric utilities and tight jobs along roadways—if you find yourself in a tight spot, E-Fence makes work easier. Simply set your maximum depth, height, wall and/or swing boundaries, and voila! No more worrying about entering the danger zone, E-Fence automatically constrains machine motion to your preset limitations.

By constraining machine motion to avoid nearby structures, E-Fence helps ensure you don’t run into trouble above, below, in front and on either side of the machine as you’re operating.
