Extends Trimble's all-in-one solution for
survey and machine guidance to any compact track loader
bucket
WESTMINSTER, Colo., Nov. 7, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- Trimble® (Nasdaq: TRMB) announced today the
availability of its Trimble Siteworks Machine Guidance Module for
compact track loaders. Siteworks Machine Guidance extends the
capabilities of Trimble Siteworks Software from surveying and
layout to support on-machine guidance and operator assistance, now
on compact track loader buckets. This marks the first new machine
type for the Siteworks Machine Guidance Module since it was
introduced for excavators in 2023 and is Trimble's first machine
guidance solution designed for compact track loader buckets.
The addition of Siteworks Machine Guidance for compact track
loaders makes this popular and flexible machine type even more
versatile with an all-in-one solution for layout, grading and
leveling. The solution gives users the ability to move the system
among multiple machines and jobsites, and to utilize their existing
technology on-machine quickly and easily, with the addition of a
simple-to-install machine kit and the Siteworks software
module.
"The Siteworks Machine Guidance Module has been popular since
the day we introduced it because it gives operators a simple, high
value, one-stop-shop for both survey and grade control," said
Elwyn McLachlan, vice president,
civil solutions at Trimble. "We're excited to announce support for
compact track loaders, furthering the versatility of this machine
type. With Siteworks Machine Guidance, the operator can easily use
the bucket to level materials to design, which would previously
require switching to either a grading or box blade attachment."
The Siteworks Machine Guidance system includes the Trimble
SPS986 or Trimble R780 GNSS Smart Antenna with tilt compensation
and the Trimble ProPoint® positioning engine, and any
bring-your-own-device or Trimble field tablet that supports the
Siteworks software. The module enables contractors to use Siteworks
off the machine to design, measure and lay out projects.
Contractors can then transfer the GNSS receiver and field tablet
from the pole to the compact track loader or excavator to provide
in-cab, 3D machine guidance and grade checking capabilities without
the need for a surveyor.
In addition to increasing efficiency in the field, contractors
can easily share designs, access remote support and keep projects
moving from the road using Trimble WorksManager Software. Using a
Trimble correction service such as CenterPoint® RTX,
contractors can experience greater mobility without the constraints
of a local base station or VRS network, and benefit from high-level
accuracy delivered worldwide via satellite or cellular/IP.
Siteworks Machine Guidance sales and support for compact track
loaders is available worldwide now through the SITECH distribution
channel. Attendees at the Trimble Dimensions User Conference in
Las Vegas November 11-13 will be able to see the technology
in action at the Offsite Expo.
