5 Ways Bobcat Equipment Can Increase Your Productivity Without Growing Your Crew Size

Posted on December 15, 2020

Having trouble finding skilled labor? Here are five ways to elevate your productivity without adding to the payroll.

Finding reliable help has been a challenge for years due to labor shortage. Not everyone can – or wants to – grow their employee numbers. Here are five ways to elevate and expand your business’s capabilities without adding to the payroll. 

1. Dig accurately without a measuring stick using Bobcat’s depth check system 

That person who usually holds the grade rod while you dig? He or she could be doing something more productive with their time. Now you can make that happen. Banish the grade rod – or the need to set up time-consuming laser equipment – with the Bobcat® depth check system.

Using sensors that track the exact position of the bucket’s teeth, the depth check system lets you set your desired digging depth and go. Monitor your current and desired depths on the in-cab display – no need to exit the cab. Plus, audible alerts tell you when you are approaching your intended depth, are at your target or have gone too far. 

Ready to unleash the depth check system on your next trenching or site prep job? If you have an R2-Series 4-8t mini excavator, your machine is depth-check ready – just add the depth check accessory kit. The system can be added to the majority of M-Series compact excavators as well.
