Grade Control for Motor Graders

The Trimble GCS900 3D Grade Control System can be installed on motor graders to put the site plan - design surfaces, grades and alignments - inside the cab.

Grading

• Measure the position and blade slope with the single GNSS antenna configuration
• Measure the exact position, very accurate cross slope and the heading of the blade with dual GNSS

Finished Grade

• Achieve finished grade to millimeter accuracy with fewer passes
• Place finished grade materials more accurately and in a shorter time period, keeping material costs to a minimum and realizing better profits

Used with a total station, single or dual GNSS receivers, GCS900 3D is well suited for 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

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 for 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
