iDig Customer Reviews

5/5

“It sounded almost surreal when I first heard about what it could do, but now I’ve used it for years and I know it really can do everything. It’s an extremely handy and specialised tool, it saves a lot of time and basically eliminates rework so you get the job done right the first time. Unless of course, you’re given the wrong datum point or foundation height in the first place – iDig doesn’t solve that problem unfortunately!”

The iDig solution is too easy really – I just establish my level, dial it in and off I go! It really has saved us so much time and easily paid for itself in a short period. Getting in and out of the cab to check grade may not sound like a big deal, but anyone in the business knows it gets old pretty quickly

For the jobs we do, there’s no engineered 3D design that you need for more advanced machine control systems to work. We have the reduced level and the batter ratio, as required, so I needed a system that could suit the type of work we do. We can do everything with this system including batters, level sites, depths, falls, culvits and water troughs or tanks on farms. The team at Aptella has been great – we’re a pretty technologically disadvantaged bunch and they can help us out with everything either on the phone or coming out to see us.

  1. Greg Molan

    Now we can send one person out to operate the machine to complete site cuts, dig drains & auger holes, without needing someone onsite to check depths or grades. The system is very easy to use so you just set your grade and away you go, it’s so much more productive. As with any new technology, you’re always a bit nervous to begin with, but we’ve found you really can’t go wrong with it. We’re self-sufficient and can work anything out without additional support.

    We went for the iDig system because if at any stage we change our equipment over, the system is portable, and we can just take that off and take it with us. We also found that it was the most economical on the market. The system is easy to learn, there haven’t been any hold ups with training, the guys have taken up the technology very quickly. The back-up and support from Aptella has been great. They’ve been there to take the call straight away and we’ve had the problem sorted out immediately and we’ve continued with our work

  5. Billy Biletic

    I have been using the iDig system for work such as house cuts, driveways, graded footpaths, subsoil drainage and stormwater drains. I would absolutely recommend the iDig from Aptella, it’s an overall great product and is also very user friendly.
