Configuration:
There are 2 configurations for the semi-automatic excavator solution – “boom/bucket” and “boom/bucket/tilt”. The boom/bucket/tilt solution is only required for controlling tilt on machines with a standard tilt bucket. The “boom/bucket” will control tilt functionality on machines with a tilt rotator.
Please contact GT Mid Atlantic with assistance in configuring and quoting these systems as configuration will vary based on customer requirements.
