Grade Boss, the Excavator’s Browser Toolbox
A set of browser tools for excavation contractors using 3D machine guidance, covering pad design, earthwork calculations, and site-calibration conversion.
Field notes
Grade Boss packages three field calculations into browser tools intended for tablets in excavation vehicles. The Excavation Designer turns two stakes and a plan-sheet PDF into a machine surface, while the Earthworks Calculator can produce cut, fill, haul-off, cross sections, and a customer PDF. A separate translator lists Trimble, Topcon, and Carlson calibration formats and warns about bad shots and a legacy feet-height issue.
