Dressta LiuGong announce 3D machine control factory fit partnership with Leica Geosystems

The solution is now available on its TD-15M and TD-16N dozers, and Peter caught up with Russ Hudson, Product Manager for LiuGong Europe, at the show to find out more. 

Russ: "Dozer customers, in particular, see 3D machine control as an essential tool on the job site, so to make this happen from the factory, we have been working closely with the Leica Geosystems engineers to offer a factory fitted solution.  This is great for new customers as they can be 3D ready from the day of delivery.

"The system is also covered within the machine's warranty, giving owners piece of mind.  We are already seeing DRESSTA TD-15M and TD-16N models rolling out of our factory in Stalowa Wola, Poland. And with customers using 3D machine control on other products in the LiuGong Machinery range like our excavators, having the capability of using the MC1 tablet across a fleet is great."  

When Peter asked Rainer Bippen, OEM Director at Leica Geosystems, about the announcement, he said:  "This partnership allows us to provide customers with a 'plug and play' upgrade to 3D machine control for Dressta's cutting-edge dozers as well as access to the expertise of both companies while guaranteeing an effortless purchasing experience." 

Peter added: “It's great to see more factory fitted solutions being offered globally and in the UK by manufacturers like Dressta and LiuGong Direct UK. It makes equipment so much more versatile, knowing you only need to buy or rent a cab kit with antennas to use the technology.”
