Trimble announced horizontal steering control functionality on the Earthworks Grade Control Platform for soil compactors, an automatic steering control solution for soil compactors — and the next step towards Trimble’s autonomous vision.
Horizontal steering control helps operators achieve higher quality surfaces and consistent compaction. Compatibility with all soil compactor makes and models enables contractors with mixed fleets to achieve a faster return on investment.
Trimble Earthwork’s horizontal steering control automatically steers a soil compactor using a 3D model or compaction pass line. This helps to improve compaction productivity and quality for operators of all skill levels by precisely controlling overlap between passes.
Auto steering helps reduce operator fatigue while also minimizing overand under-compaction, providing a more consistent sub surface for a higher quality, longer lasting finished product, according to the manufacturer.
Trimble Automatic
Steering Technology
Trimble Earthworks uses the NavController III steering technology from the Trimble agriculture division, leveraging the company’s 20 years of steering technology and applying it to civil construction applications. In 2020, Trimble also introduced horizontal steering control as part of the Trimble Earthworks Grade Control Platform for dozers.
Horizontal steering control for dozers automatically controls the machine to follow any horizontal alignment such as the back of a curb, breakline, roadway centerline or bottom of slope without operator assistance.

quality for operators of all skill levels by precisely controlling overlap between passes. Trimble Earthworks Grade Control Platform for soil compactors with horizontal steering control is available now globally through the worldwide SITECH distribution channel.
