Precision Grade Control

Reach Grade at High Speeds Without Compromising Accuracy or Quality

Reengineered from the ground up, our innovative, next generation grade control platform features intuitive, easy-to-learn software that runs on an Android™ operating system. State-of-the-art software and hardware give operators of all skill levels the ability to work faster and more productively than ever before. Increase productivity by accurately cutting/maintaining jobsite floors and managing stockpiles, while also gaining valuable information to make better decisions in quarrying and bulk earthworks operations.

Intuitive software, rugged hardware

The Trimble Earthworks Software runs on the 10-inch (25.4 cm) Trimble TD540 display or the 7-inch (17.8 cm) Trimble TD510 display. Colourful graphics, natural interactions and gestures, and self-discovery features make Trimble Earthworks intuitive and easy to learn. Each operator can personalise the interface to match their workflow and a variety of configurable views make it easier to see the right perspective for maximum productivity.

To ensure everyone is operating from the latest design, transfer data files to or from the office wirelessly and automatically using Trimble WorksManager Software, a mobile-friendly application that easily manages data and technology assets across project sites.

Cab-mounted protection and portability

Trimble Earthworks for large wheel loaders mounts dual GNSS antennas on top of the cab rather than the bucket. These antennas are safely located out of harm’s way, avoiding any damage that can occur from material running over the bucket. The new configuration allows you to easily move the antennas to other machines, to maximise your investment and keep your machines working. Save time with the more convenient cab-mounted antennas that eliminate the need to reinstall them each day.

Machine mapping

Achieve accurate, up-to-date existing ground surface thanks to front and rear wheel mapping providing the widest surface area coverage the machine has to offer. Back in the office you can analyse volumes to make better decisions that optimise machine utilisation and waste less hours.

Dual-GNSS accuracy

The Dual GNSS system provides real-time position and heading of the bucket in 3D, enabling faster reaction times and enhanced performance. The platform supports multiple correction services, and when a correction source is temporarily unavailable, Trimble xFill™ can fill in the gaps to maximise up-time.

Collision Avoidance for Wheel Loaders

Stay alert and avoid costly impacts in busy loading zones. Trimble Earthworks Collision Avoidance equips wheel loader operators with GPS-defined avoidance zones to help prevent accidental contact with stockpiles, trucks, or surrounding infrastructure. By delivering real-time alerts and clear visual guidance, it reduces the likelihood of damage, improves site safety, and keeps material handling operations efficient and controlled.

3D Grade Control

Trimble 3D Grade Control for Wheel Loaders

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

Quarries And Stockpiles

  • Cut and maintain jobsite floors

  • Effectively manage stockpiles and load out

  • Get up-to-date elevations of the existing plant site surface

Grading

  • Determine the position of each tip of the bucket and compare it to the design elevation to compute cut or fill to grade

  • Adjust the machine’s response to differing material conditions

  • Optimise the machine’s performance for a particular grading task

Applications

  • Measure the exact position, cross slope and heading of the bucket and compare that to design data to accurately cut/maintain jobsite floors and manage stockpiles in quarries and bulk earthworks operations

  • Cut and maintain floors in quarries to maximise saleable material

  • Manage stockpiles to maintain the correct moisture content and avoid mixing in deleterious materials

  • Clear and grub vegetation while stockpiling topsoil
