Grade Control for Scrapers
Grade control systems ensure that scraping equipment maintains a consistent and accurate grade or slope while moving and spreading materials like soil or gravel. Trimble’s grade control technology uses positioning systems and machine sensors to help equipment operators achieve the desired grade, allowing for precise earthmoving and leveling operations. These capabilities make it easier to produce accurate, uniform surfaces with reduced material waste while preventing over-excavation or under-compaction.
Grade control technology from Trimble enhances the scraper operator’s ability to work effectively, resulting in smoother workflows and more precise construction results. Construction companies that utilize these advanced control systems can improve efficiency, accuracy and productivity in earthmoving tasks, leading to better-quality outcomes and increased cost savings.
As the exclusive dealer for Trimble products and systems across California’s Northern Central Valley, SITECH West is proud to offer one of the area’s top selections of grade control solutions. We also provide a comprehensive range of value-added support services, from consulting and product training to repairs and equipment rentals.

Trimble’s GCS900 3D Grade Control System
The GCS900 3D grade control system on your scraper helps move dirt faster and more precisely without stakes, improving safety and cutting costs. This control system is ideal for mass excavation applications, including dam and reservoir construction, reclamation projects, landfills, new infrastructure projects and waste deposits.
With the GCS900 3D grade control system for scrapers, you can track global positioning system (GPS), global network satellite system (GNSS) and Galileo signals while excavating in a safe environment. Intuitive graphic displays provide design information and live cut-fill indications while helping operators monitor avoidance zones in real time. Additionally, you can collect as-built data for your project as the scraper achieves the grade.
The GCS900 3D grade control system has two configuration options. Single GNSS allows you to measure the blade’s slope and position, comparing the information to the design data for mass excavation and rough grading. The Dual GNSS configuration enables you to calculate the blade’s exact positioning, heading and cross slope for scraping on complex design surfaces, including steep slopes.
For towed scraping equipment, running a single laser provides control and guidance of the bowl for sloped or flat work.
