A total station-based guidance system for motor graders achieves optimal accuracy for lift and layer control and material monitoring. This is especially useful when GNSS visibility is limited due to overhead obstructions on site. By increasing accuracy, reducing rework and offering a versatile alternative to GNSS, a total station configuration ensures that construction and grading projects can proceed efficiently, even in challenging conditions.
