2D Grade Control for Excavators

Trimble's 2D Grade Control System for excavators is ideal for earthmoving contractors looking to improve their excavation productivity and profitability. It uses an angle sensor, dual axis sensor and laser catcher to measure the relationship between the body, boom, stick and bucket. Control System guides the operator to the desired depth and slope and determines where the bucket teeth are and should be. 

Applications

Using a 2D system with a grade laser, you can improve your dozer operations on projects such as:

• Road and highway projects
• Land reclamation projects
• Dam and reservoir construction
• New infrastructure projects

Configurations

• Single Elevation Plus Cross-slope   
• Single control system uses a laser or sonic receiver to control the lift of the machine blade and the cross-slope for flat, slopework, and finished grading
• Dual Elevation
• Dual control system that uses two laser or sonic receivers for higher accuracy lift control. Blade edge can be controlled independently or linked
