LIEBHERR has announced that its Generation 8 crawler dozers can now be connected to Unicontrol machine control systems via Liebherr Unicontrol Easy Link.
This enables contractors and equipment distributors to equip Liebherr dozers with blade mounted GPS/GNSS 3D control systems.
The connection is available for both new machines and as a retrofit. Integration requires activation of the corresponding software interface in the machine control system, an electrical connection to the Unicontrol system, and preparation of the cab to accommodate the Unicontrol display.
Unicontrol, founded in 2019 and headquartered in Odense, Denmark, develops GPS/GNSS-based 3D control systems for construction machinery.
“Unicontrol is now a direct option for those looking to activate automatic grade control on their Liebherr machines,” said Martin Kirkmand, product development director at Unicontrol. “It’s a significant step that reflects the industry’s move toward more accessible, flexible technology that works the way contractors need it to.”
