Trimble has developed a cost-effective machine control package aimed at use by firms looking to use this technology, without spending heavily. This system uses the firm’s BX992 receiver and is designed to be used with excavators only.
The BX992 receiver can be fitted to the machine and costs considerably less than other systems on the market. As the unit is fixed to the excavator it is for use with that unit only.
With the BX992 cab-mount receiver and the small and lightweight Trimble Zephyr 3 Rugged antennas, designed to withstand high shock and vibration environments, this configuration costs less than the Trimble Earthworks Grade Control Platform systems on the market today, without compromising functionality.
