First in Australia. 🇦🇺

This machine is the first in the country running Trimble's newly released Dynamic Swing Boom Sensor.

Here's what that means on site: the operator keeps full bucket-tip accuracy wherever the swing boom is positioned. Tight corners, offset digs, awkward angles. The machine can be set up however the job needs it, and the grade stays right.

It works through Trimble's new rotary position sensor, which tracks the swing boom's position in real time so the machine control system always knows exactly where the bucket tip is.

For our clients, that means less rework, fewer setbacks for checks, and cleaner finished levels the first time.

Modra currently has the only, ready for hire machine in Australia with this piece of technology

Thanks to the Trimble team for having us out to see it in action.
