RaptorTech Co-founders Jean Ferreira and Aaron Locke, and Managing Director Tony Halls, have temporarily swapped mine sites for mountain passes as they cycle parts of the Tour de France route.
There may be fewer haul trucks, but the fundamentals are surprisingly familiar: know where you are, follow the right route, monitor performance and make smart decisions before the next climb.
The main difference? On this trip, the machines are powered by croissants 😅
Enjoy the ride guys! We expect a full performance report when you’re back, including kilometres covered, elevation gained, and pastries consumed 😂 ... See MoreSee Less
Skid steer with a grading attachment? Yep, machine control isn't just for the big gear. Compact machines get the same accuracy advantage. ... See MoreSee Less
Here's what most don't realise about our Hybrid Rover:
It's not just a rover. It's a base station too. Same unit. Flip between the two depending on what the site needs.
Pull up to a job that's already got a base running? Use it as a rover, tap into the existing corrections, get going.
Next job's got nothing? Set it up as your base. Run your machines off it.
The integrated tilt function (up to 60°) means you can measure and stake out without faffing around with a perfectly level pole. And the whole thing syncs straight to the cloud, so what you measure on the ground is in the cab in seconds.
Surveyors, your life just got easier. Send design files straight from the office to the machine through the cloud, no USB stick handoffs. ... See MoreSee Less
Stake out points and lines on your own. No surveyor, no extra hand on the ground.
The Unicontrol Hybrid Rover does the lot: - All GNSS constellations standard - GPS, GLONASS, BeiDou, Galileo - Built-in radio (410–470 MHz) + 4G LTE - Tilt-to-go up to 60° with no calibration needed - 10 hours RTK working time (14 hours static) - IP67 rated - handles the weather, handles the worksite - Instant sync to UnicontrolCloud -files flow straight to the machine cab and back to the office
Use it as a rover when a base is already on site. Use it as a base when one isn't. One device, both jobs. Get in touch for a demo. ... See MoreSee Less
Old kit, new tricks. Our Machine control retrofits onto your existing machines, so you don't need to buy new gear to get the productivity gains. ... See MoreSee Less
Mixed fleet? No worries. Machine control works across the brands you're already running, so the gear doesn't have to match for the tech to. ... See MoreSee Less
