Automatic Grading Control

Automatic Grading Control

Bobcat® automatic grading solutions deliver more accurate grading results with less time and less labor. Choose from laser-guided systems and sonic/slope systems. Operators will increase their efficiency and reduce fatigue since they can focus on operating the machine’s travel, rather than the blade position. Fewer people are also needed because, with near-perfect accuracy, there is no need for a crew to continually check grade on the jobsite. It’s as simple as clicking a button on the loader controls to activate the automatic system. With accuracies better than +/- ¼”, automatic grade control systems can also save on expensive finishes such as concrete.

Features

• Automatic Control: Requires less operator input while providing better accuracy, reduced operator fatigue and faster travel speeds.
• Fingertip Controls: Mounted on the carrier’s steering levers, fingertip controls provide quick and easy access to make elevation changes or switch the automatic function on or off, delivering precise and accurate results with maximum operator comfort.
• Manual Override Function: While in automatic mode, if the operator pushes a switch to move the blade up or down, automatic mode is momentarily interrupted. When the operator releases the switch the system immediately returns to automatic mode.
• Laser Receivers: Deliver a 360-degree operating range. Provide visible indication of where the blade is relative to the ground and an automatic mode indicator.
• Increment/Decrement Feature: Move the grade up/down, in 0.1 in. (or 2.5mm) increments up to 2 in. in either direction, making it easier for the operator to make adjustments on-the-fly without leaving the cab to raise or lower the transmitter.
• Quick Mounting and Set-up: For ease of use around the jobsite, the laser control system is quickly attached and removed as necessary.
