Lasers And GPS Machine Control
Star Equipment is proud to offer you the best GPS, laser, survey, & laser screed equipment in the industry.
3D Machine Control
Star brought machine control to Iowa with the first indicate only machines installed on road graders and dozers in the early 80’s to do rough grading for building pads. Since that time Star has grown in its offerings along with the technology today. Whether the equipment is driven by a laser or GPS, Star has the latest technology.
