The Trimble PCS400 is used in production paving applications - highways, state roads, airports, large commercial surfaces.
PCS900
The Trimble PCS900 Paving Control System is a 3D automatic screed control system that can significantly improve paving productivity and the rideability of road and airport surfaces by directly referencing off the road design. The result is a very smooth final paved surface, higher productivity and less material usage.
Advantages of Trimble 3D Paving:
- Accurate Paving with a Reference Surface
- More Efficient Paving without Stringlines
- Better control for Complex Designs
- Upgradeable Solution from Trimble PCS400 Paving Control System
3D Milling
The Trimble® GCS900 Grade Control System with the Trimble SPS930 or SPS730 Universal Total Station can be installed on milling machines (cold planers) for highly accurate milling at variable depth and slope without stringlines.
Once the subsurface has been milled accurately to design, the ensuing paving or grading operation will save asphalt or other overlay material and create a smoother road.
Advantages of Trimble 3D Milling:
 Improve Material Usage and Profitability
- Maximize the Usage of Existing Trimble Components
3D Trimming
The Trimble Heavy and Highway division is pleased to
announce the Trimble® GCS900 Grade Control System for
