Trimble introduced a brand new classification of machine control designed for excavators - the Trimble® GCSFlex™ Grade Control System. The GCSFlex is designed to offer small to mid-sized contractors a reliable, flexible and cost-effective option to leverage machine control technology and make their companies more competitive.

The Trimble GCSFlex Grade Control System is going to be featured at ConExpo 2011, one of the world's biggest intercontinental exhibitions for the construction and construction materials industries.

The new Trimble GCSFlex Grade Control System for excavators is built to meet the needs and budgets of owner operators as well as small to mid-sized contractors involved in a wide range of earthmoving applications. The tough system is quick to set up, quick to learn and quick to implement. The Trimble GCSFlex System is highly versatile with several sensor options that allow the contractor to easily use the system for a number of jobsite tasks.

Contractors can start with the affordable "system in a case" solution and add more sensors for enhanced system functions as his or her needs change. Set up may be done by the contractor and normally takes less than a few hours; allowing the contractor to be operational quickly. With a fast install time and no welding or drilling, the system is ideal for non-permanent installs on rental equipment.

Designed for small to mid-sized excavators, the Trimble GCSFlex Grade Control System can be utilized for a broad range of tasks such as: trenching for underground utilities; digging footers and basements; building roads; as well as site prep on residential, commercial and industrial job sites. The system utilizes the exact same robust components which are used as part of the field-proven Trimble GCS900 3D Grade Control System.

The reliable Trimble GCSFlex is a high value investment. Now more contractors can appreciate the benefits of Trimble machine control technology on their projects at a price level that fits their budget. Every GCSFlex also comes with the guarantee of the Trimble brand.

The GCSFlex System will be available March 22, 2011 through Trimble's SITECH® Technology Dealers like Spectra I.S.!
