Leave a finished grade the first time, every time.
Eliminate masts and cables traditionally located on the blade for maximum range of motion needed for steep slopes and complex designs. This configuration—available only on select machines—decreases the risk of damage to the machine, keeps valuable antennas safer and reduces the time needed to remove and reinstall them each day.
Trimble Earthworks Grade Control Platform helps operators of all levels leave a quality surface in their tracks. Trimble Earthworks for motor graders is more than future forward. It’s fast forward. The next generation system gives you a first-pass finish that’s second to none.
Trimble Earthworks is now available in a subscription model with flexible terms to modernise your equipment with no large upfront cost.
Trimble Earthworks for Motor Graders is an entirely new grade control software application that is intuitive, easy-to-learn and runs on the Android operating system.
Trimble, a leader in precision measurement technology, pioneered the Dual GNSS solution to meet the needs of the construction industry. Watch the video to see how it works and why you need it!

| Product | Applications | Configurations | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| 3D |
|
Single GNSS | Measures the position and slope of the blade and compares that to design data for fine grading on complex design surfaces |
| Dual GNSS | Measures the exact position, cross slope and heading of the blade for fine grading on steep slopes and complex design surfaces | ||
| Universal Total Station (UTS) | Total station based system for extreme accuracy for lift and layer control, material monitoring, or where GNSS is not the ideal solution because of overhead obstructions | ||
| 2D |
|
Cross-slope Only | Cross-slope control system to be used on motor graders for fine grading work for road maintenance, ditches and slope work |
| Single Elevation Plus Cross-slope | Single control system uses a laser or sonic receiver to control the lift of the machine blade and the cross-slope for flat, slopework, and finished grading | ||
| Dual Elevation | Dual control system that uses a laser receiver and a sonic tracer for higher accuracy lift control. Blade edge can be controlled independently or linked |
Download these helpful applications for Trimble Earthworks from the Google Play store.
Easily access consolidated Trimble Earthworks learning material and documentation, allowing for a shorter learning curve and less downtime. The Earthworks Assistant app makes it easy to learn and troubleshoot using an Android cell phone, even from remote sites.
Trimble SiteCheck is a dedicated software application that makes site check-ins easier than ever, allowing machine operators to check in their machine control systems on pre-loaded Trimble Earthworks Grade Control System control points, or field-generated control points and save these check-ins for later reference. With Trimble SiteCheck, you’ll never second guess your machine control system again.
File Flipper is a design file converter that allows users to convert design data between the Trimble GCS900 and Trimble Earthworks file and folder structure. File Flipper also allows to import single design, calibration and geoid files and put those files into the correct folder structure.
Trimble 3D grade control can be installed on motor graders to put the site plan – design surfaces, grades and alignments – inside the cab.
Achieve finished grade to millimeter accuracy with fewer passes
Place finished grade materials more accurately and in a shorter time period, keeping material costs to a minimum and realising better profits
2D grade control systems from Trimble are an excellent first investment for contractors new to construction technology.
Achieve tight tolerances and a smooth finished grade with precise vertical guidance.
Calculate the cross-slope of the blade using two angle sensors and a rotation sensor
Add a laser receiver or a sonic tracer to measure elevation
Trace stringline, previous pass, or curb and gutter with a sonic tracer
All job phases, including clearing, embankment work, grading, and finishing, are now completed using Trimble machine control. And the results are impressive.
Make better decisions, decrease costly mistakes, and increase efficiency in the office and on the jobsite. Powerful tools help you quickly and easily create accurate, integrated 3D constructible models for construction surveying and machine control.
Remotely send construction-ready models to machines and survey crews in the field and manage technology assets across jobsites, to ensure your projects are on track.
Connect construction project workflows from design to construction, allowing data to flow seamlessly and providing a single source of truth from office-to-field.
