Have GPS Downtime?
Experiencing a low number of satellites utilizing your existing GPS? Look to update your MS750/SPS750/SPS751 base station, 5800/SPS780/SPS781 rover and your SiteVision/MS980 machine receivers. Utilizing todays SPS851 base, SPS881 rover, and MS990 machine heads will allow you to track both GPS and GLONASS satellites. This will increase the total number of satellites being tracked from 24 to 40, with the ability to track future constellations. In order to track both GPS and GLONASS satellites requires an SPS850/851 base, SPS880/881 rover, and MS990 machine heads. All existing Trimble GPS products (SiteVision, 5800 receiver, SPS780 receiver, etc.) will still function as they do today from a GPS/GLONASS base station

Looking to increase the productivity of your scrapers? Outfitting the tractor with SCS900 TE utilizing an SPS651 will give the operator the ability to see where his cut/fill is over the entire site. The combination of SCS900 Tablet Edition running on a Panasonic Toughbook and an SPS651 mounted inside the cab, can be utilized on any type of tractor. The GPS antenna is mounted to the top of the cab with the height measured to the bottom of the wheel/track. This setup installed is about 1/3 of the cost of your GPS dozer system. |
