This update also expands the functionality of Trimble Siteworks software.
Trimble announced the availability of its Trimble Siteworks Machine Guidance module for tilt bucket attachments. By integrating the full range of motion of the tilt bucket’s cutting edge into the Siteworks machine guidance and layout software, field operators can now achieve precise grading and leveling, efficient ditch cleaning and shaping, accurate backfilling and complex slope work. This allows for construction of contoured landscapes and effective operation in confined spaces, saving time and preventing costly mistakes.
This enhancement also extends the capabilities of the Trimble Siteworks Software, allowing field operators to move seamlessly from surveying and layout to on-machine guidance and operator assistance for tilt buckets and tilt couplers.
Multiple workflows streamlined with one system
The Siteworks Machine Guidance system is designed for seamless transitions between tasks. Operators can utilize the same system for both surveying and machine control, moving it effortlessly between machines and jobsites. This is achieved with a simple-to-install machine kit and the Siteworks Machine Guidance software module, leveraging existing technology.
The system includes the Trimble R780 GNSS Smart Antenna with tilt compensation, powered by the Trimble ProPoint positioning engine, and a compatible bring-your-own-device or Trimble field tablet running Siteworks software.
Trimble WorksManager Software allows contractors to share designs, access remote support, and maintain project progress in the field. When paired with a real-time Trimble correction service like CenterPoint RTX, it enables high-accuracy positioning without the need for local base stations or VRS networks, supporting reliable operation via satellite or cellular/IP, including in remote locations.
Availability
Siteworks Machine Guidance for tilt bucket attachments is expected to be available worldwide through the SITECH distribution channel and select authorized resellers in the second quarter of 2025.
