Trimble Shifts Earthworks Operations Into A Higher Gear
Trimble has announced the next generation of the Trimble® GCS900 Grade Control System, providing contractors with unparalleled speed, performance and flexibility for grade control.
The announcement was made at Trimble’s Construction Boot Camp 2007, a field-based, hands-on training event for the construction industry.
Trimble GCS900 version 10.7 includes new, high accuracy configurations for dozers and graders using the new Trimble SPS730 and SPS930 Universal Total Stations. System versatility is broadened using Satellite-based Augmentation System (SBAS) support, such as the U.S. Wide Area Augmentation System (WAAS), European Geostationary Navigation Overlay System (EGNOS), and Japan’s MTSAT Satellite-based Augmentation System (MSAS). In addition, supporting on-machine software now logs a new productivity data file to assist the contractor for better project tracking and management.
The system also extends the flexibility of the in-cab Trimble CB430 Control Box to include the new Trimble CCS900 Compaction Control System and conventional configurations of the Trimble GCS300 through GCS600 Grade Control Systems. The system provides an unprecedented level of high accuracy 3D and conventional elevation and slope grade control capability on a single on-machine control box.
