TBT EARTHWORKS improved efficiency and productivity on site with the iDig

Introducing iDig 2D machine control for simpler and more cost-effective excavation

As the Australian and New Zealand distributor for iDig, Aptella is helping contractors maximise their profits, by optimising the use of machines and increasing excavator productivity. iDig 2D machine control systems are simple but technically advanced tools designed specifically for excavators, to provide real-time (with no delay) indication of depth, distance and slope. Real-time depth indication: Enter your desired depth and iDig will guide you there. Real-time slope indication: Enter your, positive or negative slope and percentage on x:y, and iDig will guide you there – it can even calculate relative slope if required. Real-time distance indication: Place the bucket teeth on the starting point, enter your desired digging distance, and iDig’s horizontal LEDS will guide you there.
