Precision Grade Control for Excavators

Flexible 3D Grade Control That Performs in Any Environment

Trimble GCS900 3D Grade Control System can be installed on excavators with standard buckets or tilt buckets for mass excavation projects. GCS900 also supports tilt rotator attachments.

Grade Control works in any environment with a flexible system that can use either GNSS or total stations. It uses two GNSS receivers and solid state angle sensors to measure the precise 3D position of the teeth of the bucket. GCS900 3D tracks GPS, GLONASS and Galileo signals and quickly performs complex tasks and simplifies finishing slopes with accurate 3D positioning.

Use the system on excavators with tilt buckets for shaping V-ditches and operations where the excavator is digging a slope that is not perpendicular to the boom.

3D Excavator Control

Advanced 3D Positioning for Mass Excavation and Complex Applications

The Trimble GCS900 3D Grade Control System can be installed on excavators with standard buckets or tilt buckets for mass excavation projects. GCS900 also supports tilt rotator attachments.

  • Work in any environment with a flexible system that can use either GNSS or total stations

  • Use two GNSS receivers and solid state angle sensors to measure the precise 3D position of the teeth of the bucket

  • Use a total station-based system for extreme accuracy

  • Track GPS, GLONASS and Galileo signals

  • Use for wet construction with a watertight seal around the angle sensor with the optional AS455 Submersible Enclosures

  • Quickly perform complex tasks and simplify finishing slopes with accurate 3D positioning

  • Use the system on excavators with tilt buckets for shaping V-ditches and operations where the excavator is digging a slope that is not perpendicular to the boom

2D Excavator Control

A Cost-Effective Starting Point for Improved Excavation Productivity

Trimble’s 2D Grade Control System for excavators is ideal for earthmoving contractors looking to improve their excavation productivity and profitability.

  • Uses an angle sensor, dual axis sensor and laser catcher to measure the relationship between the body, boom, stick and bucket

  • Guides the operator to the desired depth and slope and determines where the bucket teeth are and should be

  • Upgrade to a 3D grade control system as your business grows
