“We have completed successful tests together with Trimble and are now able to connect the Rototilt positioning solution with the Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System,” says Per Väppling, vice president of marketing and sales, Rototilt Group.
“This allows the operator to integrate the Rototilt tiltrotator with a Trimble Grade Control System to achieve significantly better precision and productivity.”
Using the Rototilt positioning solution together with the Trimble GCS900 Grade Control System, operators know the attachment’s precise position relative to the excavation in progress. This new technology allows the operator to plot both the height and rotation line, which makes the attachment more effective in construction jobs such as precision grading, excavation in confined areas or moving large volumes of earth.
“Our heavy equipment customers have been seeking a solution that allows excavator operators to leverage guidance for excavation but also control tilt rotator attachments,” says Ryan Kunisch, marketing director for Trimble’s Civil Engineering and Construction Division.
Control of the attachment’s tilt and rotation angles by the Rototilt positioning solution combined with precise positioning from Trimble can mean time and fuel savings for contractors.
