Grade Control for Wheel Loaders
Control your cut to work faster and smarter. or quality
Work Faster and Smarter
Gain more information from another machine in your operation and give operators of all skill levels the ability to work faster and more productively than ever before with Trimble Earthworks Grade Control Platform for Wheel Loaders.
Trimble Earthworks Software
The trusted and reliable Trimble Earthworks now includes support for wheel loaders, providing an intuitive and easy-to-learn grade control application that runs on the Android operating system.
Work Faster and More Profitably
- Measure the precise 3D position of the bucket
- Quickly perform complex tasks and simplify finishing slopes with accurate 3D positioning
- Supports large wheel loaders (50 ton and up)
- Configured with Dual GNSS for real-time position and heading of the bucket in 3D
Faster Machine Mapping
Front and rear wheel mapping provide the widest possible surface area for accurate, up-to-date existing ground surface. Analyze volumes to make better decisions that optimize machine utilization and waste less hours.
3D Grade Control for Wheel Loaders
Smarter, faster and more accurate grading, with standard Connected Site functionality to bring the office and the machine together for increased efficiency.
Bulk Earthworks
- Display design information and live cut/fill indications in the cab
- Monitor avoidance zones with real-time information
- Collect as-built data as the machine cuts to grade
- Keep tighter control over safety issues
- See precisely where dirt is being moved on site
Quarries and Stockpiles
- Cut and maintain jobsite floors
- Effectively manage stockpiles and load out
- Get up-to-date elevations of the existing plant site surface
Grading
- Determine the position of each tip of the bucket and compare it to the design elevation to compute cut or fill to grade
- Adjust the machine’s response to differing material conditions
- Optimize the machine’s performance for a particular grading task
Applications
Measure the exact position, cross slope and heading of the bucket and compare that to design data to accurately cut/maintain jobsite floors and manage stockpiles in quarries and bulk earthworks operations.
- Cut and maintain floors in quarries to maximize saleable material
- Manage stockpiles to maintain the correct moisture content and avoid mixing in deleterious materials
- Clear and grub vegetation while stockpiling topsoil
