Elevating Excavation with Trimble's Cutting-Edge Technology

In a significant leap for construction technology, Trimble® has unveiled its latest offering—the Trimble Siteworks Machine Guidance Module tailored for tilt bucket attachments. This innovative product, announced on April 7, 2025, is designed to integrate the complete range of motion of a tilt bucket into the Siteworks machine guidance software, facilitating precision in grading, leveling, ditch cleaning, and various other complex tasks in construction.

Enhancing Workflow Efficiency

Construction projects are often hindered by inefficiencies and costly errors, particularly in the grading and leveling phases. With Trimble's Siteworks Module, field operators gain the ability to manage their tasks with new levels of precision. The system not only aids in creating well-contoured landscapes but also enhances operations in confined spaces—an invaluable trait in today's urban environments.

Comprehensive Functionality

The true strength of the Siteworks Machine Guidance system lies in its multifunctionality. This system is designed for seamless transitions, allowing operators to utilize a single solution for both surveying and machine control tasks. The installation process is straightforward thanks to a simple-to-install machine kit. Once installed, operators can transition between different jobsites and machinery with exceptional ease, thereby maximizing productivity.

Elwyn McLachlan, Vice President of Civil Solutions at Trimble, emphasizes the comprehensive nature of this solution: "Siteworks Machine Guidance is all-in-one for layout and excavation. It provides full 3D guidance, enabling operators to maintain a clear understanding of their bucket's position relative to the 3D model throughout the work process."

A User-Friendly Approach

One of the system's most appealing aspects is its user-friendly design. Operators can create actual designs in the field using Siteworks as a GNSS rover, allowing them to measure points directly and place this information on the machinery. This process is not only efficient but also designed for individual completion, reducing the need for multiple crew members for various tasks.

The integration of the Trimble R780 GNSS Smart Antenna with tilt compensation dials in high-accuracy positioning, marking a substantial upgrade in the excavation field. This antenna utilizes the Trimble ProPoint® positioning engine to ensure that operators have precise data at their fingertips, contributing to improved productivity in the field.

Increased Collaboration and Mobility

Collaboration and real-time problem solving are critical in any construction project. The Trimble WorksManager Software enhances this by allowing contractors to share designs easily, access remote support, and keep projects advancing without delays. The incorporation of Trimble's real-time correction services, such as the Trimble CenterPoint® RTX, enables high-accuracy positioning globally, even in remote areas, which is a significant advantage for contractors working in less accessible locations.

Global Availability

The Trimble Siteworks Machine Guidance Module for tilt buckets is expected to reach worldwide availability through the SITECH® distribution network and select authorized resellers by the second quarter of 2025. Construction professionals eager to learn more about this groundbreaking technology can find Trimble at bauma 2025 in Munich, Hall A2, stand 437.
