Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System
Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System: 3D Automatic Control
One of the most revolutionary changes in the way earthworks are performed has been the introduction of 3D systems originally by Trimble in 1995. The Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System represents the next-generation 3D system from the company that invented 3D grade control.

The GCS900 Grade Control System is a cutting-edge earthmoving grade control system that puts design surfaces, grades and alignments inside the cab. The system uses GPS, GPS and laser, or advanced total station technology to accurately position the blade or bucket in real time, significantly reducing material overages and dramatically improving the contractor’s productivity and profitability.

The Trimble GCS900 is extremely flexible and can be used on excavators, dozers, motor graders and scrapers. You may purchase the GSC900 outright or as an upgrade from a Trimble GCS300 through GCS600 Grade Control System. And with its CAN-based design, the GCS900 can be easily moved from machine to machine, as needed.



GCS900: How Does it Do That?
The positioning sensors are used to compute exact position of the blade or bucket many times per second. The on-board computer uses this position information, and compares it to the design elevation to compute cut or fill to grade. This information displays on the SV170 screen— in plan, profile, cross-section view, or text. The cut/fill data is also used to drive the valves for automatic blade control.
Additionally, the cut/fill data is passed to the GCS900 lightbars, providing additional visual guidance to the operator for up/down to grade and right/left to a defined alignment. The light bars are separate from the display so that the operator can focus on safely operating the machine by having the light bar in the field of view.

The Smart Antenna, the SR300 laser receiver and the ATS Construction Total Station all connect to the same cable harness. This allows the contractor to easily switch between sensors; the contractor has the flexibility to use their system for all phases of earthmoving---from mass excavation through to finished grading.





 Caterpillar MS992 Smart Antenna GNSS Receiver
The Trimble® MS992 GNSS Smart Antenna is "smart" because it contains an integrated GNSS receiver, antenna, an isolation system in a single, ruggedized housing that can withstand even the toughest construction site environments. It is also the only commercially available GNSS antenna that offers the performance enhancements of a new Trimble RTK engine and supports the newest GNSS signals. All that means increased machine productivity and utilization in areas that were previously difficult to use GPS machine control - including under tree canopy and in urban canyons.

Designed for rugged operation on Trimble GCS900 Grade Control Systems and CCS900 Compaction Control Systems, the MS992 is available in single or dual configurations on the following machine types:

  • Dozers
  • Graders
  • Excavators
  • Scrapers
  • Pull-type Scrapers
  • Soil Compactors
  • Asphalt Compactors

Why Dual GNSS Antennas?
The patented dual MS992 antenna configuration is a unique advantage of the Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System. Using two GNSS antennas, the exact position of the bucket, blade or drum is calculated along with very accurate cross slope and heading. Dual GNSS configuration is especially advantageous for operations with dozers with angle blades, graders, and on complex design surfaces such as super elevations.
