Leica Geosystems Hosts Record Number of Visitors at 2008 CONEXPO-CON/AGG Exhibition Booth

Hands-on demonstrations help construction professionals put advanced technology to work.

Norcross, Ga. (Vocus/PRWEB ) April 8, 2008 -- The world’s largest equipment and technology show proved a fitting venue for Leica Geosystems' introduction of its most complete series of construction solutions in history. Over 125,000 building and construction professionals from around the world attended CONEXPO-CON/AGG, March 11-15, 2008 in Las Vegas, Nevada, a 21 percent increase from the previous years.

We used the show as an opportunity to more closely evaluate the PowerDigger dual slope system that ties to GPS, which ultimately met our needs. We’ve since installed the system on two of our excavators at two different jobs. Our operators are really pleased and see particular advantages on complex grading projects, deep digs or on sites where the grade check crews are shorthanded.
Throughout this five-day event, attendees had the opportunity to evaluate GPS, robotic and manual total stations, laser tools, and many other products each uniquely designed to deliver speed, improved accuracy and efficiency. Machine control solutions took center stage with help from the innovative simulator, offering attendees a hands-on feel for the advantages possible with these extraordinary solutions.

True Survey Supply, Inc., a Leica dealer based in Colville, Washington, recommended that several of its customers, including Eller Corporation from Newman Lake, WA, visit Leica Geosystems’ CONEXPO-CON/AGG interactive booth to evaluate the latest developments, particularly the advanced 2D and 3D machine control solutions.

Within a week after the show, Eller Corporation purchased and installed two Leica PowerDigger systems for use on its excavators.

Chuck Eller, Vice President for Eller Corporation, says, “We used the show as an opportunity to more closely evaluate the PowerDigger dual slope system that ties to GPS, which ultimately met our needs. We’ve since installed the system on two of our excavators at two different jobs. Our operators are really pleased and see particular advantages on complex grading projects, deep digs or on sites where the grade check crews are shorthanded.“

Leica PowerDigger is one of Leica Geosytems’ powerful and easy to use 1D and 2D systems developed for construction heavy equipment machines from excavators to graders and dozers. Leica Geosystems also introduced the new RedLine products at the show designed to meet every measurement required on the construction site ranging from layout to 3D machine control, including the exciting PowerDigger 3D capable of saving up to 20% in operating costs.
