FINISHED GRADE WITH FEWER PASSES. PLACE MATERIAL FASTER AND WITH MILLIMETER ACCURACY. WITH GCS900 ON YOUR GRADER, YOU’LL KEEP COSTS TO A MINIMUM AND SEE BETTER PROFITS.
GCS900 3D
Description
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 seeing better profits.

Applications
Used with a total station, single or dual GNSS receiver, 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

Configurations
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 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

GCS900 2D
Description
The Trimble GCS900 2D Grade Control System for motor graders is an excellent first investment for contractors new to construction technology.
Grading
• Measure the lift and tilt of the blade with a single laser and laser receiver.
• Measure the slope of the blade by adding another laser receiver or a slope sensor.
• Get to grade quicker and more accurately with in-cab elevation and slope guidance.
• Upgrade to a 3D grade control system as your organization grows.
Finished Grade
• Achieve tight tolerances and a smooth finished grade with precise vertical guidance.
• Calculate the cross-slope of the blade using two angle sensors and a rotation sensor.
• Add a laser receiver or a sonic tracer to measure elevation.
• Trace string line, previous pass, or curb and gutter with a sonic tracer.
