Non-Laser Product Allows Grade and Slope Check from the Cab

摘要

Dirtworks Products, a Michigan-based manufacturer, makes JohnnyBall, a 3D measuring system for determining level and slope. JohnnyBall allows operators to check level and slope from the seat of their cab, without the use of GPS or lasers. A key benefit of JohnnyBall is its portability. Featuring a base cup system, operators can take JohnnyBall from one job site to the next, or from machine to machine. It can be easily mated to dozers, graders, and skid steers of any brand or size. It went through three phases of prototyping and endured lab testing for durability, according to the company.
