Everything You Need to Know About the Delta
Still have questions? We’ve got answers. Learn how the Delta works, what you need to get started, and why it’s the right tool for your earthmoving projects.
How can the Delta improve my earthmoving projects?
- Real-time precision measurements while you work
- No getting on and off your machine
- No extra tools—just accurate to an inch grading, leveling, and digging on the go
Whether you’re preparing a foundation, shaping a road, or clearing land, the Delta helps you work faster, reduce rework, and improve efficiency—without stopping. Its modular design adapts to different machines and job types, making it a powerful tool for both professionals and landowners.
Elevation readings rely on barometric pressure and are most stable in calm atmospheric conditions. Wind and weather may cause minor fluctuations.
How easy is it to set up?
The Delta is designed for quick and simple setup. When first getting started, you’ll go through a short calibration and pair your devices with the app.
Before starting a project, you’ll:
- Attach the primary device to your machine.
- Place the Weather Anchor in a fixed, central location at your worksite.
- Open the app, select your project, and zero your implement to set grade.
- Once that’s done, you’re ready to work!
What exactly IS the Weather Anchor?
The Weather Anchor is a Delta that stays in a fixed position near your worksite. Its purpose is to account for environmental change in air pressure, ensuring your elevation and leveling measurements remain accurate throughout the job.
How many Deltas do I need for my project(s)?
The Delta system is modular, so you can start small and expand as your needs grow.
3-Delta Kit → Supports all current project types including digging, leveling, and grading. Recommended setup includes one Delta on your machine and two as fixed weather anchors. Covers up to a 1,000 ft diameter (500 ft in any direction from a weather anchor).
4-Delta Kit → Ideal for larger work areas or more challenging conditions. Allows you to extend coverage and improve stability by placing additional weather anchors across your site.
Still unsure? Start with a 3-Delta Kit—you can always add more later.
