Operators can now view 3D models in a real-world environment at a true-life scale, in the context of existing surroundings. On the Trimble Earthworks Grade Control Platform display, the model is overlaid onto existing ground giving the operator a better understanding of the work that needs to be done.

Visibility of the bucket gives operators better situational awareness to be able to keep surrounding people and objects safer.

Users can easily understand 3D models, cut/fill information, slope data and other bench points and reference points in context, without the need to interpret complex 2D plans or stakes.

With Trimble Earthworks for Excavators, you can now take advantage of the first integrated 3D aftermarket grade control automatics for excavators and tilt-rotator attachments. Excavators can work semi-automatically, allowing operators to create smooth, flat or sloped surfaces more easily.

Trimble Earthworks is an entirely new grade control software application that runs on Android and helps your crew be more efficient and productive.

Trimble, a leader in precision measurement technology, pioneered the Dual GNSS solution to meet the needs of the construction industry. Watch the video to see how it works and why you need it.

Trimble 3D grade control can be installed on excavators with standard buckets or tilt buckets. Tilt rotator attachments are also supported.

• Use either GNSS or total stations
• Measure the precise 3D position of the teeth of the bucket
• A simple 2D GNSS Bench and Go workflow means no office software and no 3D models required
• Work up to 20 meters underwater with a deep underwater kit
• Quickly perform complex tasks and simplify finishing slopes with accurate 3D positioning
• Shape V-ditches and operations where the excavator is digging a slope that is not perpendicular to the boom

With Trimble Earthworks, you can now take advantage of the first integrated 3D aftermarket grade control automatics for excavators and tilt-rotator attachments. Excavators can work semi-automatically, allowing operators to create smooth, flat or sloped surfaces more easily. Achieve grade consistently, with high accuracy and in less time by automating excavator operation with Trimble Earthworks.

Trimble’s 2D grade control system for excavators is ideal for earthmoving contractors looking to improve their excavation productivity and profitability.

• Get into grade control at a very affordable price
• Uses an angle sensor, dual axis sensor and laser catcher to measure the relationship between the body, boom, stick and bucket
• Guides the operator to the desired depth and slope and determines where the bucket teeth are and should be
• Upgrade to a 3D grade control system as your business grows
