(NASDAQ:TRMB) introduced today a 3D grade control solution for
Bobcat All-Wheel Steer Loaders, Compact Track Loaders and
Skid-Steer Loaders. The Trimble® GCS900 Grade Control
System for Bobcat Grader Attachments allows small contractors to
work faster and more effectively on complex projects that require
digital designs and 3D machine control. Large contractors can also
benefit by using 3D machine control to complete the finish phase of
projects more affordably and accurately with their Bobcat
machines.
"Bobcat leadership in compact equipment combined with Trimble
expertise in 3D grade control gives contractors a trusted, reliable
solution," said Ryan Kunisch,

"With the first 3D solution for Bobcat equipment, compact machine
owners can now take advantage of the significant efficiency gains
provided by Trimble 3D machine control."
Using digital 3D models prepared in Trimble's Business Center –
HCE office software, the Trimble GCS900 system is ideal for
footpaths, parking lots and sidewalks. Part of the portfolio of
Trimble Connected Site® solutions, the system includes
the ability to wirelessly sync files to the machine, track assets
and site productivity, and receive remote support or training. The
Trimble GCS900 3D system is available as an upgrade from the 2D
laser-guided and sonic/slope systems already offered by Bobcat, so
customers can easily leverage their initial investment in grade
control.
