The new buckets are designed for use with larger machines commonly found on major infrastructure projects.
RodRadar, developer of the groundbreaking Live Dig Radar® (LDR) – the first real-time underground utility strike avoidance technology embedded in excavation equipment – has released two new LDR Excavate™ bucket types, purpose-built for large-scale projects.
Developed in direct response to customer and dealer feedback, the new buckets are designed for use with larger machines commonly found on major infrastructure projects, including data centers, solar power plants, airports, and civil engineering works. Contractors can now excavate with confidence, knowing they have the right tools to help detect and avoid underground utility strikes in real time.
New Bucket Types:
- Type 4: For 20–30 metric ton machines | 36” (92 cm) such as: CAT 325, Deere 210G, Komatsu PC200.
- Type 5: For 30–40 metric ton machines | 36” (92 cm) such as: CAT 340, Deere 350G, Komatsu PC360.
These additions expand the LDR Excavate™ range, enabling RodRadar customers to equip a wider variety of machinery with LDR technology – increasing safety and efficiency on high-demand job sites.
RodRadar’s patented Live Dig Radar® technology is embedded directly into the excavator bucket. It provides real-time underground utility detection, giving operators actionable visibility while digging – no guesswork, no delays, just smart, safe excavation.
This update reflects RodRadar’s continued commitment to delivering tools designed with and for excavation professionals – built to meet the demands of the job, from the ground down.
