Was the last truck short or over?

An LM-100 scale weighs each bucket as the loader lifts it, against a target weight you set, so each truck leaves loaded right and nobody makes a return trip to the stockpile.

Call GPS Alaska for an LM-100 quote on your loader.

Most operators have never watched an excavator cut a slope it isn't squared up to.

With a tiltrotator, the bucket tilts to match the slope, so the operator can make that cut without moving the machine.

Book a GPS Alaska demo and see it for yourself.

Good operators who can finish grade by feel are getting harder to find.

With Topcon MC-Max the grade is in the cab and the machine holds it, so every operator can grade like your best one.

Book a GPS Alaska demo and put one of your operators in the seat.

An Engcon tiltrotator doesn't care if you run Topcon, Trimble or Leica. It's an attachment.

Crews use it with the machine control they already have.

The thing we haul around on the back of the GPS Alaska truck is an Engcon tiltrotator.

It tilts and turns the bucket, so the excavator cuts angles a fixed bucket can't reach without moving the machine.

Book a GPS Alaska demo and watch it dig.

Grading to stakes means waiting for the grade checker to call out grade to the operator.

Machine control puts the grade checker in the cab, so every pass can be put to grade instead of guessing.

Book a GPS Alaska demo and see what it's like to get to grade on the first pass.

Topcon MC-Max automatically cuts grade for the operator. The operator sets the bucket on grade, clicks the auto button and MC-Max takes care of the rest.

If you want to see the future of excavator automation, call GPS Alaska for a demo and see if you or MC-Max cuts better grade.

A drag box builds sidewalk subgrade, and few people can make one work well.

SharpGrade with Topcon MC-Mobile holds the grade you set, so the finish doesn't depend on who's on the crew that day.

Book a GPS Alaska demo and watch SharpGrade grade sidewalk subgrade.

Every extra pass to get to grade is fuel and operator time you already paid for.

Machine control puts the grade in the cab, so every pass can be put to grade instead of guessing.

Before the crew can start, someone has to find a point for the tripod, set it up, level the tribrach, set up the base station, measure the HI and start the base.

TopNET Live sends corrections by cell, so the crew skips all of it.

On a complicated slope, holding the bucket's angle takes constant adjustment.

An Engcon tiltrotator with Topcon machine control matches the bucket to the slope automatically, so the operator just hits the auto button.

Book a GPS Alaska demo and watch it hold the angle.

You don't have to set up your own machine to see machine control work.

We can show up with our demo excavator and a skid steer with a SharpGrade attachment, drop them at your job, so you can watch them get to grade.

Book a GPS Alaska demo to set up a time.

A machine down outside of town can mean hours or days before support arrives.

Once your machine is connected in Sitelink3D, GPS Alaska can remote support and remote control just about everything, so you're not stuck out there on your own.

On pads and service roads, every extra dozer pass to get to grade burns fuel, operator time, and machine hours.

Machine control gets the dozer to grade in fewer passes, so it moves on to the next pad sooner.

Book a GPS Alaska demo and see how much faster you can get to grade.

A loader operator who can see the weight of every bucket can load a truck right the first time.

An LM-100 scale shows that weight in the cab, against a target you set, so the truck leaves at the weight you want.

Buying a tiltrotator for every excavator adds up fast.

One Engcon tiltrotator comes off one machine and goes on the next, so a single unit can serve multiple excavators.

Come by the GPS Alaska shop for a tiltrotator demo and see how the swap works.

Before a crew can start, someone usually sets up a GNSS base on a tripod.

TopNET Live delivers corrections over the cell network, so the crew skips the base setup and gets to work.

Book a GPS Alaska demo and watch a crew start work with no base on a tripod.

Scandinavia: tiltrotators standard for 40 years.

North America: ~10% adoption, growing 7% annually.

The question isn't if. It's when.

Dig. Stop. Wait. Check. Adjust.

Repeat 200 times a day.

What if your excavator just knew where grade was?

Most grader blades fail because of physics. QuadRod parallel linkage fixed the physics. 1/8 inch precision from your skid steer.
