At the end of the day.. Taking a moment to appreciate both some beautiful afternoon sunlight as well as SITECH Solutions’ Tony Butters’ skilful work onsite on another masterful Trimble Earthworks install for Hitachi on their ZX135-7 excavator.

🔩 NEW!! BOLT-ON MACHINE CONTROL. The new Hitachi -7 machines have a new complete bolt-on option which means that the Trimble machine control sensors don’t need to be welded onto the machines anymore.

There are hand rail bolt on mounts for the Trimble GPS receivers, and a section on the boom where the sensor bracket can be bolted. There is also a bolt on for the stick sensor and the bucket sensor, plus you have the option for the bolt on for the tilt attachment sensor.

Bolt on machine control makes sense! The PROS of having a bolt on Trimble machine control system with the Hitachi machines as opposed to the traditional weld-on system include:

🎯 The bolt on option can cut delivery times down by up to a week
🎯Transferring the whole system from one machine to the other becomes easy.
