Upgraded Technology Alert
DEPTH CHECK is the future of excavation
| WHAT IT DOES
Bobcat Depth Check is a factory-integrated depth guidance system that helps operators dig with accuracy and confidence. Using three advanced sensors, the system continuously tracks the bucket’s position and provides real-time depth, grade, and slope feedback—all displayed in the cab within +/- 0.5 inch accuracy.
| WHY IT MATTERS
ELIMINATE GUESSWORK and reduce rework
SAVE TIME AND FUEL by digging right the first time
STAY ON GRADE with visible and audible guidance
WORK MORE EFFICIENTLY without manual tape measures or extra crew in the trench
| ROI BENEFIT
Depth Check takes the guesswork out of over and under-digging, allows operators to stay in the cab while reassigning crew to other tasks, and quickly pays for itself by helping save time and reducing mistakes.
REDUCE OVER & UNDER DIGGING
| New Depth Check System
Designed exclusively for your Bobcat excavator, depth check uses durable and accurate sensors and provides visual and audible alerts to your display as you reach a target depth, grade or slope. You’ll boost productivity, reduce over- and under-digging, and work more efficiently.
WORK MORE EFFICIENTLY
| Depth Accuracy
The system provides guidance to the operator for a desired target depth with a slope from a known “bench” point.
| Time Savings
The system prevents over- and under-digging by reaching the right depth the first time.
| Less Support Needed
Avoid the need for someone to manually check the grade or depth with a tape measure or “stick” receiver.
INNOVATIVE CAPABILITIES
| Slope Ability
The latest depth check system brings the ability to guide operators to a finished, sloped grade.
| Machine Level Indicators
New sensors and an additional sensor on the house enhance the operator’s ability to level the machine for grading applications.
| Automatic Laser Receiver Bench
Accurately and quickly “benchmark” the system for maximum operator efficiency and fast results when digging retaining walls or digging each corner of a structure to a specific elevation.
SIMPLE USABILITY
| Easy Operation
Audible alerts keep operators informed as they approach, reach or exceed the target.
| Enhanced Interface
Simple, intuitive and easy to use, the operator depth check display is streamlined and optimized for faster, simpler setup and real-time position refresh.
| Multiple Attachment Compatibility
Bobcat depth check works with multiple coupler interfaces and attachments.
Use it with an auger to drill post holes to a consistent depth
Use it with a plate compactor to achieve even, accurate compaction to a specific depth and grade
Use it with a trencher to dig utility lines and sloped trenches with pinpoint accuracy
DEPTH CHECK OPERATION & TRAINING
| Operation Without Laser
Learn how to operate the Bobcat depth check system using just your bucket tooth or cutting edge to benchmark and maintain grade. This video walks you through digging to a consistent depth below ground and sustaining a sloped grade – all without the need for external equipment.
| Operation With Laser
See how the Bobcat depth check system works with a laser to deliver precise, consistent grades. Learn how to benchmark off a laser beam, dig to flat or sloped targets, and reposition your machine while maintaining accuracy. Whether you're excavating footers or installing drainage, this video shows how to get the job done right – faster and with fewer errors.
| Depth Check Calibration
This video walks you through the process of calibrating the Bobcat depth check system and fine-tuning measurements. Whether you’re setting up a new system or adjusting to account for attachment wear, learn how to ensure incredible accuracy every time you dig.
| What Models Are Compatible With the Bobcat Depth Check System?
Bobcat depth check is available as an option for the Bobcat E32, E35, E38, E48, E55, E60 and E88 compact excavators.
