Trimble Grade Control Systems
GCS900 2D for Motor Graders
Trimble offers the heavy and highway contractor the broadest range of Grade Control Systems in the industry.
From 2D laser or sonic based to 3D GNSS or Total Station based, Trimble systems are rugged, easy to use, fully
upgradeable, portable, and flexible to meet a wide range of application and jobsite requirements.
The Trimble® GCS900 Grade Control System with automatic blade control maximizes motor grader performance.
Whether grading simple pads and slopes or complex design surfaces and alignments the operator can get tograde at high speeds, without sacrificing grade control accuracy or quality of the final graded surface.
