Kobelco Construction Machinery U.S.A. and Trimble announced an expanded collaboration that makes the Trimble Earthworks grade control platform 2D guidance and control systems available directly through select Kobelco dealers. This new offering, launched as Kobelco’s certified Trimble Earthworks 2D grade control program, is now available at Kobelco dealers across North America.
While Kobelco has offered a Trimble Ready option from the factory on multiple machine models since 2017, this program enables certified Kobelco dealers to offer and install Trimble 2D machine guidance and control systems and offers customers a pathway to all the benefits of grade control technology, including 3D grade control. Kobelco provides solutions to meet evolving contractor needs, whether customers are seeking consistent grade accuracy with full manual control or semi-autonomous excavation with automated boom and bucket movement.
“We are committed to making Trimble technology as easy as possible for all customers to purchase, regardless of equipment type,” says Scott Crozier, vice president, civil construction field systems at Trimble. “We expect today’s announcement will make it easier for Kobelco customers to take advantage of seamless integration into the Trimble technology ecosystem.”
