Trimble M3 Mechanical Total Station

One of Your Toughest and Most Reliable Crew Members
When you arrive on the job site, just pull the Trimble® M3 Total Station out of its ruggedized case and get to work. This rugged and reliable instrument delivers whatever the conditions.

The Trimble M3 combines tough construction with practical hardware and software functionality:

  • Rugged aluminum housing ensures IPX6 water resistance
  • Long battery life provides 7 hours of continual measurement or one full day of typical measurement activities without needing to recharge
  • A large internal memory stores up to 10,000 data lines in the field ... several days’ worth of data collection.
  • The onboard software supports multiple jobs so you can work on different jobs or projects without downloading in-between. 
  • DR (direct reflex) technology lets you measure safely to hard-to-reach places without a prism. This feature also enables one-person surveying, freeing up the time of other crew members. 

The Trimble M3 Total Station is also extremely easy to use. Its intuitive software and workflow mean your crew won’t lose time and productivity on a steep learning curve.


The Accuracy You Need Every Time
No matter what the conditions, you can rely on the Trimble M3 to consistently deliver the accuracy you need for every job. To ensure accuracy, the Trimble M3 offers the following features:

  • An internal optical plummet expedites setup and ensures high accuracy stationing. 
  • Proven Nikon optics ensure clear, quality and precise aiming.
  • 3 mm + 2 ppm EDM provides fast, accurate and reliable measurements.

Focusing DR technology provides complete measurement confidence. You always know that what you see is what you’re measuring.
