3D Machine Control

Gartell and Son have invested in high-performance plant and equipment. As a result, we deliver excellent cost efficiency and improved safety standards. By using the latest automated construction technology, we significantly reduce the exposure of site personnel. Therefore, overall risk on site is minimised.

With state-of-the-art machine control fitted to our dozers and excavators, we achieve robust and economical construction processes. In practice, this allows us to work more efficiently and cost-effectively. For example, we carry out accurate setting out, continuous material tracking, and high-precision trimming. At the same time, this advanced technology ensures exceptional quality and accuracy.

In addition, we use the latest Trimble and Topcon systems across our Liebherr dozers and excavators. Consequently, this delivers both safety and cost benefits for earthworks projects of all sizes. Furthermore, all of our excavators fitted with Steelwrist attachments benefit from automatic control. As a result, the system controls the bucket angle precisely, ensuring correct grades instantly.

Machine control technology continues to evolve. Therefore, we remain committed to upgrading our fleet regularly. As new models become available from our preferred suppliers, we ensure our equipment stays at the forefront of industry standards.
