Many excavation companies use Machine control grading systems and laser detectors to help them get on grade and stay on grade when grading parking lots, concrete pads, foundations, septic drainage systems, trenches and more. Most attach to heavy equipment such as a front-end loaders, mini excavators, dozers via magnetic or mounting brackets that we also sell. The laser detectors used with machine control have larger than usual detection sensors and some can be detected from 360 degrees. Set your laser level up on a tripod away from your work, attach a machine control detector and get your measurement worked out for the desired elevation and go to work saving time and money.
