The Trench Pointer is a single-operator excavation guidance system — rifle-style sights and a 200-foot green laser replace an entire survey crew.
How it works
Attach the Trench Pointer to your excavator. Align the rifle-style sights to your desired trench heading using the built-in compass half-plate.
Activate the 200-foot green laser. It projects your exact line of travel — visible from the cab at full job-site distance. No flaggers, no crew, no guesswork.
Follow the laser. One operator digs a perfectly straight trench every pass, without stopping to verify alignment or reset stakes.

One operator. One tool. See exactly how the rifle sights and green laser guide a perfectly straight trench from start to finish.
Features & specs
Same instinctive aiming mechanics as a rifle scope — operators sight in fast, hold zero, and stay dialed in all day.
High-visibility green beam projects your dig line across the full length of a job site — readable in direct sunlight.
Built-in directional reference lets you set and hold any heading without additional survey equipment or crew.
Eliminates the need for a survey crew or second person on site — any operator can do the whole job, start to finish.
