New laser-based AccuGrade system offers extreme accuracy

Caterpillar released a new laser-based grading system that will interest a lot of contractors.

The AccuGrade grading system for Cat C-Series Skid-Steer Loaders, Multi-Terrain Loaders and Compact Track Loaders includes these benefits:

* Combines the capability of the Level Best Grading Box with the C-Series loader’s integral electro/hydraulic controls to create an automated grading system capable of extreme accuracy.

* Establishes flat or single-slope grades to within ± 0.635 centimeters without grade stakes or the expense of grade checkers and stake-setting surveyors.

* Machines grade more area per hour and are more fuel-efficient in the process.

* Eliminates the need for undercuts and overfills (no reworks).

Another plus? The system allows use of the loader’s existing controls, keeping the operator securely in the seat and protected by built-in safety features.
