Grade Control for Dozers

Trimble GCS900 grade control with GradeMax Plus technology for dozers. Smarter, faster and more accurate grading, with standard Connected Machine 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

Used with a total station, single or dual GNSS receivers, GCS900 3D is ideal for bulk earthwork, grading and fine grading applications such as:

Material spreading

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 rough grading and mass excavation on complex design surfaces

Dual GNSS    

Measures the exact position, cross slope and heading of the blade for rough grading and mass excavation on steep slopes and complex design surfaces

Single or Dual GNSS with Laser Augmentation

Single and dual GNSS systems enhanced with laser augmentation to improve vertical accuracy for high accuracy guidance to complex design surfaces such as super-elevation grading from rough through finished grade work

Universal Total Stations

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
