What is 2D Grade Control?

A 2D machine control system is designed for simple yet critical tasks like digging septic tanks or creating surfaces with proper water drainage. Operators use Unicontrol2D to set their target surface—either with the bucket tip or a laser, depending on your setup.

The system then guides you to dig precisely to that target. With high-performance sensors on your machine and an in-cab tablet, Unicontrol2D gives instant feedback on the bucket’s position relative to your reference point.

As you work, the system calculates height and slope in real-time, ensuring faster, more accurate digging and grading to meet the exact specifications of your task.

Key Benefits of Unicontrol2D GRADE CONTROL

Intuitive Interface

Unicontrol2D is built for grading jobs. All essential functions are available directly from the runscreen, so you learn the system simply by working—even if it’s your first time using grade control.

Customizable to Jobtype

The setup of Unicontrol2D can be customized to different grading job types. This allows you to work with a personalized setup that shows only the functions you need for the grading tasks you do most often—helping you work more efficiently and stay focused on the job.

Affordable Entry to Grade CONTROL

Unicontrol2D gives you automated grading accuracy without adding complexity or high upfront costs. By reducing rework, cutting down extra passes, and lowering labor needs, it offers a low-risk way to save time and improve margins on small to medium projects.

Application Scenarios

Unicontrol 2D Grading makes finish grading faster and easier for compact-equipment operators. With blade automation handling the adjustments, the system keeps the blade on grade or slope and stays accurate even in tight areas, indoors, or around obstacles — exactly where compact machines spend most of their time.

Grading

For general grading tasks, Unicontrol2D helps operators reach target grade faster and keep results consistent. By holding grade automatically, the system reduces manual corrections and cuts down time spent checking levels. Common jobs include driveways, access roads, site preparation, and small infrastructure projects where efficiency matters.

Fine Grading

Unicontrol2D is well suited for fine grading jobs that demand a precise, consistent surface. Automatic blade control helps maintain the correct height or slope across the entire surface, reducing rework and extra passes. Typical applications include concrete subgrades, parking lots, athletic fields, and other finish surfaces where accuracy and surface quality are critical.

Indoor Grading

Because Unicontrol2D does not rely on satellite signals, it’s ideal for indoor grading and work near buildings or obstacles. Laser- and sonic-based references allow accurate grading in tight spaces where GNSS-based systems cannot operate. Typical use cases include warehouses, storage facilities, industrial buildings, and other indoor construction environments.

FAQ

What is 2D grade control?

A 2D grade control system helps operators dig or grade to a set height or slope using a simple reference, such as a laser or sonic sensor. It’s designed for everyday grading tasks where design models are not required.With Unicontrol2D, the system automatically guides the blade to stay on grade and provides real-time feedback on an in-cab tablet—helping you achieve accurate results with fewer corrections and less rework.

How do I get 2D grade control?

To get started with Unicontrol2D, simply fill out the form on this page. An authorized Unicontrol dealer in your area will contact you to learn more about your machine and job types, and help you find the right setup for your grading needs.

What types of jobs can I complete with 2D grade control?

Unicontrol2D is commonly used for finish grading and surface preparation jobs such as concrete subgrades, parking lots, driveways, athletic fields, and indoor grading projects. It’s ideal for small to medium jobs where accuracy and consistency are important.

Can I upgrade to 3D machine control later?

Unicontrol2D is built on scalable hardware and can be upgraded to full 3D machine control without replacing your existing system. This allows you to start with 2D grading and expand your capabilities as your needs grow.
