Machine Control for Wheel Loaders
Control your cut to work faster and smarter. Trimble technology gives operators real-time control and clear visibility into every cut, so productivity, accuracy and efficiency are built into your workflow, no matter who’s in the cab.
Profitable Precision With No Guesswork Required
Your profitability shouldn’t depend on the operator running your wheel loader that day. Poor data and missed communication creates a costly performance gap between your rookie operators and your seasoned veterans. This can lead to:
Wasted fuel
Excessive tire wear
Schedule delays
Profit leak
3D machine control for wheel loaders changes that equation. It allows you to unlock valuable production data from your wheel loaders, transforming them from simple material movers into intelligent assets. Operators of all skill levels work faster and more productively. Digitally assisted machines deliver results, as many operators note significant gains in accuracy and faster task completion.
Utilize tech that doesn’t just assist your workforce, but multiplies it.
Benefits for Wheel Loaders
Profitability through precision means every pass counts. Here’s how:
Real-time design updates: Your wheel loader machine control system connects field operations to the office. Design changes are pushed wirelessly to the cab, so there’s no need to drive out with USB drives or rely on outdated plans.
First-pass accuracy: Precise 3D bucket positioning simplifies complex grading tasks. Operators are guided to the exact design elevation, often without the need for grade checkers on the ground.
Optimized machine health: Eliminating unnecessary passes reduces fuel consumption and tire wear. Operators optimize gear ratios and RPMs, extending the life cycle of your heavy iron.
Synchronized operations: Connected site capabilities provide instant access to as-built data, allowing you to track progress in real time and bill accurately for every yard moved.
Advanced Features for Easy Operation
High precision doesn’t mean high complexity. While basic wheel loader 2D machine control only provides grade guidance, our 3D system delivers:
Intuitive operation: Trimble Earthworks runs on a familiar Android™ OS, with an easy-to-use interface that lets operators pinch, tap and swipe on a touch screen to view 3D models from any angle.
Customizable display: Color graphics and customizable interface options allow each operator to set up their screen to match their workflow, helping reduce fatigue and improve focus.
Spatial awareness: Unlike basic 2D systems that only offer grade guidance, Trimble’s 3D machine control provides complete spatial awareness for precise and confident bucket positioning.
Reliable positioning: Dual GNSS antennas, mounted securely on the cab rather than the bucket, deliver real-time position and heading data while protecting your hardware from jobsite hazards.
Fleet flexibility: Cab-mounted antennas allow for easy portability between machines, making your investment more versatile.
Rugged construction: All technology is built to withstand the toughest real-world jobsite conditions, delivering performance you can count on.
