Trimble Payload Management Features

Combining payload management and machine control into a single platform increases the versatility of your trucks and excavators by maximizing hauls and enabling operators to grade with precision. Operations can use this solution to track how much weight is in each bucket and how much material they use across an entire job. Users can install the software platform on any machine or vehicle already using Trimble Earthworks, regardless of make or model.

Primary features include: 

• Enhanced compatibility: The platform features a 10-inch Android touch-screen on the intuitive Trimble TD540 display. The software is mixed-fleet compatible and has an optimized interface for ease of use.
• Comprehensive reporting: Operators can send data to the web-based reporting portal showing material location, available machines and productivity levels. Crew members can also print copies of payload information and weigh operations in real time to create permanent records and maintain an audit trail for compliance.

Payload Management for Trimble Earthworks Benefits

As part of Trimble Earthworks, the payload management platform for grade control allows operations to experience benefits like:

• Improved efficiency: Easy-to-use software helps increase productivity for operators of all skill levels. The advanced functionality monitors and tracks truck loading, unloading and tons transported.
• Increased savings: Precise weighing helps crews maximize tons per gallon while minimizing truck and excavator fuel usage. Increased accuracy prevents underloading and overloading that can lead to unnecessary fuel consumption, wear and tear on equipment, and inefficient material use. 
• Maximum versatility: The Earthworks display can monitor truck hauling progress and bucket-by-bucket payload for various machine attachments. Innovative sensor technology allows crew members to view payload information without using a separate weighing system.

Payload Management for Grade Control Applications

With payload management and machine control integrated into one streamlined interface, Trimble’s grade control platform works well for applications like:

• Tracking the amount of material you move.
• Maximizing each truck haul.
• Preventing overloading and overloading.
• Increasing versatility with mixed-fleet compatibility.
