The Basics

What is SP Technology?

SP Technology is a brand new technology for bulldozers revolutionizing the way contractors move dirt and fine-grade. The innovative SP technology opens new opportunities for dozers, combining ease-of-use, unrivalled flexibility, and the highest precision at the fastest speeds available in the market. Contractors can now boost their productivity and performance even more while benefiting from new ways to use existing equipment.



Bringing Faster Results

SP Technology provides improved hydraulic control that allows faster grading with outstanding smoothness and precision at high speeds, dramatically increasing machine utilization and productivity. Bulldozers can now take on even more find grading jobs, completing work with less heavy equipment on site and helping contractors to finish their projects ahead of schedule and under budget.

High precision attainable at any speed

By using inertial guidance with the most responsive hydraulic control on the market, GPS performance is significantly enhanced. Machines equipped with SP technology reduce the need for rework and increase uptime during poor GPS/GLONASS coverage or briefly interrupted correction signals. This allows for consistent and precise grading even under the most difficult conditions by maintaining full speed, accuracy and productivity on challenging job sites such as deep cuts, urban canyons, mountainous or hilly terrain, and heavily wooded areas.

Increased value of existing hardware

SP Technology is an available upgrade or option to the Leica PowerGrade platform. Along with the unique PowerSnap concept, which allows easy and quick exchange of machine control panels, customers have unrivalled flexibility and speed. Contractors can simply upgrade from the 2D panel to a 3D panel as the job demands or easily move panels between sites rather than losing time and money transporting machines. The cable-free snap-on/snap-off system is easy and convenient for operators, helping them work more efficiently, and now with SP Technology this work is faster than ever before.

No learning curve, no reconfiguration

All dozers equipped with Leica PowerGrade and GPS can be easily updated to get the full benefit of the unique SP Technology. No additional complexity is added compared to a regular control system in regards to installation or operator usage.

Leica PowerGrade SP Peer Reviews

"You are able to make sure the material goes where it needs to go the first time, take it away where it has to be cut from, and you are not double-handling material."

- Rick Parrot, Grading Superintendent, Clarkson Construction (KS)
