Description
3D
Highway and railway construction
Airport construction
Concrete pours and slab placement
Residential and commercial site construction
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
Road and highway projects
Land reclamation projects
Dam and reservoir construction
New infrastructure projects
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
