The Trimble® GCS900 Grade Control System can be installed on motor graders for a wide range of earthmoving applications. The Trimble GCS900 on a motor grader is a full 3D control system that puts the site plan - design surfaces, grades and alignments - inside the cab.

 

Using the single GPS antenna configuration, the position and blade slope is measured.

 

The on-board computer uses this position information, and compares it to the design elevation to compute cut or fill to grade. This information displays on the Trimble CB430 screen- in plan, profile, cross-section view, or text. The cut/fill data is also used to drive the valves for automatic blade control.

 

Additionally, the cut/fill data is passed to the GCS900 lightbars, providing additional visual guidance to the operator for up/down to grade and right/left to a defined alignment.

 

The Trimble GCS900 on a motor grader is ideal for contractors who require a cost-effective, 3D grade control solution for site preparation and bulk earthworks.

Using the Trimble GCS900 on a motor grader allows contractors to significantly improve their productivity and profitability.
