RodRadar has taken another step forward in construction safety and efficiency by expanding its LDR Excavate™ product line with larger excavator bucket options. The innovation brings the company’s real-time underground utility detection system, Live Dig Radar (LDR), to a broader range of heavy machinery widely used on complex infrastructure projects.
The new additions include two bucket sizes designed to meet the needs of larger construction environments:
- Type 4: Compatible with 20–30 metric ton machines, 36” (92 cm) width
- Type 5: Compatible with 30–40 metric ton machines, 36” (92 cm) width
These buckets integrate RodRadar’s patented Live Dig Radar technology directly into the excavator attachment. Operators receive instant feedback on the presence of underground utilities while digging, reducing the risk of costly strikes and increasing overall jobsite safety. Unlike traditional methods that require separate scanning devices or additional workflow steps, this built-in system streamlines operations and keeps productivity high.
The decision to launch larger buckets came directly from contractor and dealer feedback. Many projects, such as data centers, airports, solar installations, and large-scale civil works, involve heavy equipment where both efficiency and safety are critical. By offering detection-equipped buckets for 20–40 ton excavators, RodRadar makes advanced technology accessible for the bigger machines often tasked with high-risk excavation.
This development not only strengthens utility detection but also highlights the importance of durable undercarriage systems. Heavy excavators working in demanding sites require reliable track chains, shoes, and rollers to match the advanced technology integrated into their attachments. A strong undercarriage ensures stability, precision, and long-lasting performance, especially when paired with innovative solutions like LDR technology.
By combining smarter attachments with robust undercarriage solutions, contractors can maximize machine uptime, reduce delays, and deliver projects with greater confidence. As infrastructure demands continue to grow worldwide, adopting equipment that merges safety with efficiency will become essential.
RodRadar’s expansion of the LDR Excavate line marks a significant step in creating safer and more productive excavation practices. For contractors and fleet managers, the opportunity lies in pairing this advanced detection system with reliable undercarriage solutions to unlock the full potential of their machines.
