The improved Earthworks GO! package from Trimble optimise working for compact machines

Trimble is adding additional upgrades to its new Earthworks GO! package, which is designed for use on compact machines.

The package offers 2D grade control and can be used with grading attachments on compact machines. The company claims that the package means contractors can boost grading accuracy when using skid steer loaders or compact loaders fitted with grading attachments. The system can connect wirelessly to a smartphone, offering contractors a sophisticated earthmoving tool.

The package is designed for use by contractors in applications such as general construction, site preparation and utility work. Its applications include uses for grading flat and simple slopes.

Laser guidance allows users to grade or cut profiles quickly and accurately. The firm claims that the package is easy to learn and use. Productivity can be increased by up to 20% and the package includes software that provides tools showing how best to install, commission and utilise the system. The package allows users to save a machine profile in the system, so that settings can be retained. This means that the package can be switched from one machine to another, without having to replicate set-up procedures each time.
