Trimble brings grade control to wheeled loaders

18 Feb 16 Technology firm Trimble has introduced a new version of its GCS900 grade control system that can now be used with wheeled loaders.

The new version 12.81 of the GPS system includes a 3D configuration for wheeled loaders, broadening the range of machine types supported.

Contractors can realize a higher and more rapid return on their investment in technology by using Trimble machine control components on a variety of machines and for more applications, the company says.

“Trimble GCS900 version 12.81 means big productivity gains for contractors who operate wheel loaders,” said Ryan Kunisch, marketing director for Trimble’s civil engineering and construction division. “We have seen up to a 40% increase in productivity for material placement and grading activities and typically a 25% reduction in undercutting when the GCS900 system is used.”
