Leica Grade Control for Six-Way Blades

March 10, 2014

The Leica iCON grade iGD4SP dozer solution calculates the lift, angle, and tilt of a dozer’s six-way blade, allowing the operator to angle the blade, while the system’s advanced hydraulic interface automatically controls lift and tilt. As a result, says Leica, “dozers can be operated at full capability while constantly maintaining grade.” Dozers using the iGD4SP solution, says the company, can be used in fine grading applications that would normally require motor graders, thereby reducing the need for an additional machine.
