UK’S First Makin’ 3D Pro System

Fantastic bit of kit, making our work easier and quicker. Building an as built system as we go and having every site service on board at all times is invaluable.
Awesome support from Nasco Digtec Ltd as well guiding us through our first dabble into gps guidance.

I am a self employed digger driver who thrives to do the best job possible, and I am always looking for ways in which I can complete such high levels of standards in my work, whilst also improving my efficiency.

I mainly work on my own so I often spend a lot of time getting in and out of the digger, to set measures and adapt my laser level etc.

When I heard about the IDig I wasn’t sure if it was too good to be true, although after purchasing it I can confirm this is not the case and it is worth every penny.

It has improved my work and is easy to use. I would never go back to not having an IDig, it is straightforward, effortless wizardry that I would recommend to everyone.

I’m currently running at the 5.5ltr/p/h mark according to the diggers computer, half a ltr less than my 6t setup, and without the additional machine needed to move it from site to site!

I’m absolutely convinced that the introduction of a tiltrotator on a backhoe will bring them back into favour, especially for owner operators! I admit that I was sceptical about the benefits of the idea of a tiltrotator on a backhoe but having a little go on the 4cx of Robin Webber’s convinced me that it brought something to the party!

I’m surprised each day how differently I approach the jobs I’ve done for many years on a backhoe, the lack of repositioning and little things like having to keep adjusting the rear stabilisers to get the angle you need! Time saving adds up at an alarming rate, and that goes hand in hand with the fuel savings!

I’m sure that the doubters of the tiltrotator are now starting to eat humble pie and are finally getting the fact that they’re not a gimmick that removes skills of the operator, they’re actually the future and bring a whole new skill set to the industry!

The future is here!”

One man digging with our 2D grade system, fitted to all my machines, meaning I can dig +/- 10mm accuracy, without getting off the machine. Time saved is money saved and this technology is included in my hire rates.

Over the last few weeks, with some projects cancelled (including an exciting project at the RHS Chelsea flower show), I have been out on operated hire with the iDig 2D grade control system on the 3t excavator.
This allows me to work alone with no need to check for grade, saving money in banksman wages, excess muck away from digging too deep, and a saving in materials put back on top. Just me, a laser and a flask of tea.

Amazing what one man can achieve with an Engcon Tiltrotator and iDig 2D grade Control.
