Leica MC1 Semi-Auto with Steelwrist X07
Project Type
Utilities and Trenching
Client
Utilities Contractor, Ireland
Overview
A utilities contractor required precise trenching in confined areas where manual control risked over-digging and damage to nearby services.
Challenge
Operators were performing manual passes, increasing the risk of over-cutting and excess backfill. Tight access sites required delicate movement and absolute control.
Our Solution
Innovate installed the Leica MC1 Semi-Auto system paired with the Steelwrist X07 tiltrotator. The Semi-Auto function provided automatic boom and bucket control while allowing the operator to manually adjust tilt and rotation as needed. The integrated 3D design ensured every trench matched specification exactly.
Results
- 25% reduction in correction passes
- Consistent trench depth and profile
- Reduced backfill and material costs
- Safer operation near underground utilities
