 Get a Competitive Edge with Grade Control Technology
Boost your productivity 20 percent and more with a GPS grade-control system for excavator equipment. Move dirt right the first time, eliminate costly rework, increase your profits, and add a competitive edge to your business.
Considering a new excavator or a customized system fitted to your new or existing machine? Select the level of control and investment right for your application. No matter what you need, the Ziegler Cat® team can customize an excavator system for your business.
Automate Measuring: 2D Machine Control Systems
With Trimble®, a leader in GPS and grade-control technology, you can determine all work-area measurements using a laser system. Connect your machine's hudraulics to laser-based positioning equipment for faster and more accurate digging and grading. Perform jobs that require frequent checking — like grading, drainage, vertical work, or laying out a footer — quickly and easily with just one person.
Designed specifically for excavators, the Trimble GCS600 Grade Control System gives you a highly flexible, cost-effective entry-level product for excavation, trenching, grading, and profile work. The system is easy to install, set up, and use on excavators with standard buckets or tilt buckets. The GCS600 system performs ideally on both tracked and wheeled hydraulic excavators.

GCS600 Grade Control System for Excavators
Laser-Guided Machine Control |
- Measures the relationship between the body, boom, stick, and bucket to determine where the cutting edge is and should be
- Easily and quickly goes from depth control to depth and slope to more complex excavating jobs with the same machine
- Control and carry out depth and slope without a grade checker or laborer in the ditch
- Takes guesswork out of bucket location
- Upgradeable to GPS GCS900 grade control system
- Pitch and roll sensor compensates for machine footing attitude
- Dual LED depth and slope indicators adjust for ambient lighting
- Built-in beeper gives grade guidance or warnings
- Push-button benching provides fast daily set-ups
- Selectable accuracies adjust for best productivity on jobs with different accuracy specifications
- Control elevation offset at the push of a button
- Move from one elevation to the next level without resetting the laser transmitter

3D Grade Control Streamlines Jobs
Combine grading, surveying, and design into one process and replace stakes and string lines with digital data. Three-dimensional grade control compares the coordinates of the machine blade to a preloaded digital terrain model, calculates elevation and cross-slope, and automatically moves the bucket to the correct cut or fill position. You can see real-time grade and slope information along with bucket position on the cab display.

| GCS900 Grade Control System with Dual GPS Control |
- Two GPS receivers and solid-state angle sensors measure the precise 3D position of the tip of the bucket
- Faster excavation without stakes
- Accurate 3D positioning of the bucket guides the operator to quickly perform complex tasks
- Compares actual position to design elevation
- Light bar display shows movement required to reach grade
- Simplifies finishing slopes
- Excavators with tilt buckets easily shape V-ditches
- Improved accuracy for digging a slope not perpendicular to the boom
- Improves your productivity and profitability
- Ideal for mass excavation projects, rough grading of roads and ponds, landfills, commercial site prep with complex designs, underground utilities, dredging, and break water construction
