Doosan Excavators in the US now feature Trimble factory-installed Machine Controls
Trimble and Doosan Infracore North America announced today that Doosan will offer the Trimbleยฎ Earthworks Grade Control Platform for Excavators as an optional factory-installed machine control solution for the North American market. Trimble Earthworks is a grade control solution designed to make grading more accurate, faster and easier in a range of applications, including residential and commercial sites, trenches, embankments, ditches and finished slope work.
Doosan will offer a 2D machine control factory-installed option that includes a 10-inch Android™ tablet display running the Trimble Earthworks software application. This option includes rugged Trimble hardware, designed and tested for the harsh conditions found on construction sites.
โWeโre excited to partner with Trimble because it will help expand our Doosan excavator technology offerings and boost our customersโ productivity,โ said Jaeuk Kim, Doosanโs director of Product Management. โDoosan crawler excavator customers can enhance their trenching accuracy with the increased technology, contributing to an improved ROI. And our dealers can now offer this directly from the factory to our customers.โ
โTrimble and Doosan are working together to make it easier for contractors to benefit from construction technology,โ said Tom Austin, OEM business development manager for Trimble Civil Construction. โOur mutual customers will benefit from the collaboration between Doosan and Trimble with improved productivity, less down time and faster ROI.โย
Excavator Automatics
Withย Trimble Earthworks, contractors can now take advantage of integrated 2D gradeย control with automatics for excavators, allowing operators to create smooth,ย flat orย sloped surfaces more easily.
When the excavator is placed in Autosย mode, the operator controls the stick, and Trimble Earthworks controls the boomย and bucket to stay onย grade, reducing overcut and increasing production.
Byย automating excavator operation, Trimble Earthworks allows operators to achieveย grade consistently, with high accuracyย and in less time. Customers should checkย with their local Doosan equipment dealer and confirm if this option isย available for their preferred model.
Upgrade to 3D
Contractorsย can work with their Doosan dealer to upgrade their 2D system to 3D through aย local SITECHยฎย dealer.
SITECH is Trimble’s global distributionย network and localย Doosan dealer technology partner, providing installationย services, personalized training and local technical support for Trimbleย construction technology.
Availability
Factory-installedย Trimble machine control for Doosan crawler excavators is now available to orderย in North America from the Doosan dealer network.
