Written by SITECH Solutions | Mar 29, 2024 10:29:19 PM

It’s a competitive market. Are you ready to take your grading operations to the next level? Look no further than Trimble Earthworks Mastless Grade Control, the pinnacle of precision and efficiency in motor grader machine control systems.

Trimble’s mastless grader system gives operators an improved range of blade motion, allowing for machine control in applications where it was previously not possible. The system puts one GNSS receiver on the cab and one on the gooseneck of the machine to eliminate the tangle of masts and cables traditionally located on the blade.
 
Mastless GNSS receivers are ideal for steep slope work and complex designs with tight tolerances. Mastless grade control empowers you to achieve unmatched precision and efficiency – so you can finish the job and move onto the next one quicker!

Top-Tier GPS Machine Control
Trimble Earthworks for motor graders mastless configuration eliminates the need for cumbersome masts. With advanced GS510 Sensors, CAT Factory Position Sensing Cylinder (PSC), and dual MS975 Receivers, this solution empowers operators to handle everything from final trim to bulk earthworks with ease. The system can do it all, final trim to bulk earthworks. It really comes into a league of its own when doing irrigation work allowing the operator to use both sides of the blade when cutting out and shaping channels.

Mastless Flexibility
Say goodbye to traditional masts and cables cluttering your grader blade. The mastless configuration mounts GNSS antennas strategically, ensuring maximum range of motion, crucial for steep slope work and intricate designs. Contractors benefit from reduced risk of machine damage, enhanced antenna safety, and significant time savings with simplified setup and teardown.

Dual-GNSS Accuracy
Trimble’s dual GNSS provides real-time position and heading of the machine for guidance of the motor grader blade in 3D, enabling faster reaction times and enhanced performance.
