MUNICH, April 12, 2016 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble
(NASDAQ:TRMB) and Doosan Infracore announced today that customers
in Europe and North America will have the option to order a
Trimble Ready® Doosan
DX225LC-5 excavator from the factory. This new Trimble Ready excavator enables a faster and
simplified installation of Trimble® GCS900 2D or 3D
Grade Control System components with no welding, re-painting,
drilling or disassembly required.
The announcement was made at bauma 2016, the world's leading
trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines,
mining machines, construction vehicles and construction
equipment.
"Doosan Infracore is excited to announce that later this year
our customers in Europe and
North America will be able to
order a DX225LC-5 Trimble Ready
excavator that reduces machine downtime during installation of a
Trimble GCS900 system," said Wooyong
Jung, general manager for Doosan Infracore R&D
Division.
"The introduction of a Trimble
Ready option for a Doosan excavator further reinforces our
commitment to serve equipment manufacturers and their customers
with innovative construction technology," said Jim Green, business area director for Trimble
OEM Solutions, Civil Engineering and Construction Division. "Now
it's less expensive and faster to install Trimble technology, so
Doosan customers can realize an even quicker return on their
technology investment."
The Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System is a machine control
system for earthworks that makes design surfaces, grades and
alignments accessible to the operator on a display inside the cab.
The system uses GNSS, GPS, laser, sonic or total station technology
to accurately position the blade or bucket in real-time,
significantly reducing material overages and improving the
contractor's productivity and efficiency.
Availability
The Trimble Ready Doosan Infracore DX225LC-5 excavator is
expected to be available in the second half of 2016 through
Doosan's extensive distribution network in Europe and North
America.
