RodRadar was recently featured on Equipment World emphasizing some of its latest achievements in the past year, and partnerships with leading construction partners. Here are the highlights of the article:
The world’s first excavator bucket with ground-penetrating radar is available for order, according to its creator, Rodradar.
“Orders are piling up, and our advanced Live Dig Radar® (LDR) buckets are prepped and ready to be shipped to customers worldwide,” the company posted recently on social media.
The news follows an announcement last month that equipment attachments manufacturer Engcon has teamed up with Rodradar to integrate the bucket into its quick-coupler and tiltrotator systems.
Rodradar launched its LDR technology at ConExpo 2023, demonstrating how the bucket can detect underground utilities to prevent strikes when digging. Since its unveiling, the bucket, which was developed with AMI Attachments, has been tested by U.S. contractors. Rodradar has been training contractors, including Skanska at its reconstruction project at JFK International Airport in New York, on the bucket.
The buckets are equipped with ground-penetrating radar on the bottom and scan for underground utilities when moved across the ground. They let excavator operators know where any utilities are located to avoid strikes, and they enable them to dig with confidence without fear of a strike, Rodradar says.
