Trimble Grade Control for Dozers
Running on time, versus out of time.
Trimble Earthworks Grade Control Platform for Dozers
Helps new and veteran operators do things right the first time, and in less time, than ever before.
Configuration Options for Dozers
| Product | Applications | Configurations | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3D |
|
Single GNSS | Measures the position and slope of the blade and compares that to design data for fine grading on complex design surfaces |
| Dual GNSS | Measures the exact position, cross slope and heading of the blade for fine grading on steep slopes and complex design surfaces | ||
| Universal Total Station (UTS) | Total station based system for extreme accuracy for lift and layer control, material monitoring, or where GNSS is not the ideal solution because of overhead obstructions | ||
| 2D |
|
Cross-slope Only | Cross-slope control system to be used on motor graders for fine grading work for road maintenance, ditches and slope work |
| Single Elevation Plus Cross-slope | Single control system uses a laser or sonic receiver to control the lift of the machine blade and the cross-slope for flat, slopework, and finished grading | ||
| Dual Elevation | Dual control system that uses a laser receiver and a sonic tracer for higher accuracy lift control. Blade edge can be controlled independently or linked |
3D Grade Control for Dozers
Smarter, faster and more accurate grading, with standard Connected Site functionality to bring the office and the machine together for increased efficiency.
Bulk Earthworks
- Display design information and live cut/fill indications in the cab
- Monitor avoidance zones with real-time information
- Collect as-built data as the machine cuts to grade
- Keep tighter control over safety issues
- See precisely where dirt is being moved on site
Grading
- Determine the position of each tip of the blade and compare it to the design elevation to compute cut or fill to grade
- Drive the valves for automatic blade control or view in-cab lightbars based on the cut or fill data
- Control the machine’s automatic blade control settings in real-time
- Adjust the machine’s response to differing material conditions
- Optimize the machine’s performance for a particular grading task
Finished Grading
- Achieve finished grade to millimeter accuracy with fewer passes
- Place finished grade materials more accurately and in a shorter time period
- Keep the material costs to a minimum and realize better profits
2D Grade Control for Dozers
A 2D Trimble system is an excellent first investment for contractors new to construction technology.
Grading
- Use a single laser and laser receiver to measure the lift and tilt of the blade
- Add another laser receiver or a slope sensor to measure the slope of the blade
- Get elevation and slope guidance to get to grade quickly and accurately
- Easily upgrade to a 3D grade control system
