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 in North America. This new offering, launched as KOBELCO’s certified Trimble Earthworks 2D grade control program, is now available at KOBELCO dealers across North America, enhancing machine productivity and jobsite precision.
While KOBELCO has offered a Trimble Ready® option from the factory on multiple machine models since 2017, todayâs announcement makes it easy for customers to acquire excavators pre-equipped with Trimble Earthworks and receive training, service and support directly from their KOBELCO dealer.
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.
âWe are committed to providing our customers with the tools they need to succeed on modern jobsites,â said Dan Collins, director of product development & marketing at KOBELCO USA. âThis collaboration allows KOBELCO dealers to offer proven technology that enhances productivity, reduces overcut and shortens project timelines.â
âWe are committed to making Trimble technology as easy as possible for all customers to purchase, regardless of equipment type,â said Scott Crozier, vice president, civil construction field systems at Trimble. âWe expect todayâs announcement will make it easier for KOBELCO customers to take advantage of seamless integration into the Trimble technology ecosystem.â
