New road construction products - Trimble grade control systems

The new Trimble GCS900 is designed for earthmoving and excavation.

Trimble uses GPS, construction lasers, total stations, wireless data communications, the internet, and application software to reach optimal construction solutions. This new model (version 12.0) has more configuration options and features to enable accurate grades to be obtained on the road construction site. These include:

 

• The Trimble CB460 Control Box, which has more power, more memory, and a large 7-inch screen display of 3D profile information, grade guidance and warnings. The screen can be configured in 2D or 3D mode.
• The Trimble HS410 Heading Sensor allows the operator to save time and excavate in a wider directional area outside of the bench orientation without stopping to re-bench the laser.
• The Trimble MS972 GNSS Smart Antenna is used with compaction equipment to accurately map every pass of the machine.
• Information can be transferred wirelessly between the machine and the office in real time. Road design updates can also be sent to the machines without any delay in machine operation.
• System calibration is now simpler and can be carried out in less than an hour.
