Multiple Configurations, Increased Productivity
Fully waterproof and designed for the harshest construction environments, the Leica PowerGrade system provides automatic control of both slope and elevation and can be used with a wide range of sensors. Dual-laser sensor configurations are available for those who need to work independently of the slope direction. Leica PowerGrade also features unique automatic side-shift control for motor graders and mast-tilt compensation.
The Leica PowerGrade system is easily upgraded and fully scalable from basic 2D to full 3D capability. With a complete range of 2D sensors including laser, sonic, and cross-slope, and 3D upgrade capability to TPS, GNSS, or both, PowerGrade is the most complete grading control system in the industry.
Calvird adds, "The Leica PowerGrade system is ideal for contractors looking to increase machine productivity in today's fast-paced competitive market with easy-to-use, high accuracy grade control. The installation of a Leica PowerGrade system is typically done within one day, minimizing machine downtime and generating payback faster."
