Trimble offers the GCS600 grade control system for excavators, which is designed for excavation, trenching, grading and profile work. Typical applications include excavating basements, foundations and footers, flat bottom and simple slope trenching, flat slope grading and embankments, and profile excavations of canals or batters.
The GCS600 features an in-cab display system that indicates required depth and working slope and is designed to reduce manpower, improve material yield and speed completion time. Operators can carry out desired depth or slope without a grade checker or another laborer in the ditch. The system uses angle sensors that measure the relationship between the body, boom, stick and bucket to determine where the cutting edge is and should be, directing the operator to the desired depth and slope. The GCS600 is designed to be easy to install, set up and use on excavators with standard buckets or tilt buckets.
The system's optional Laser-Catcher feature allows re-benching with the laser without returning to the initial benchmark. This allows the operator to work across a greater area, using the laser as a reference each time the machine moves to a new location.
“The GCS600 for excavators is a highly flexible depth and slope system for excavation, trenching, grading and profile work,” says Jeff Winke, director of public relations and special projects for High Velocity Communications, which represents Trimble. “Designed for both tracked and wheeled hydraulic excavators, it is ideal for earthmoving, site preparation and general contractors looking for an economical and easy-to-use grade control system to improve their productivity and profitability.”
