Trimble TRMB has made advancements to the Trimble Earthworks Grade Control Platform for Soil Compactors with the Horizontal Steering Control capability.

The recent functionality has the ability to automatically steer a soil compactor using a 3D model or compaction pass line. This helps operators achieve high-quality surfaces and consistent compaction by maintaining machine performance and safety.

Previously, Trimble introduced the Horizontal Steering Control functionality for Dozers for automatically controlling the machine to follow any horizontal alignment without operator assistance.

With the recent Horizontal Steering Control capability for Soil Compactors, Trimble is likely to expand its reach to operators.

Further, the latest move is expected to contribute well to its Buildings and Infrastructure segment.
