When rock is in the way, most jobsites start thinking bigger iron, more passes, and more cost.
But what if the answer was smarter iron?
We recently helped a customer deliver a Vermeer Corporation SM55 Surface Miner equipped with Trimble Inc. Earthworks 3D functionality, and we are excited to help more customers explore what this kind of technology can do in the field.
With Trimble on the SM55, teams can cut to plan, control depth, and work through tough material with more accuracy.
That means:
• Fewer machines needed for certain applications
• Less drilling and blasting
• More consistent material sizing
• Better grade control
• Less rework
• A safer setup with remote operation
For quarry, mining, aggregates, and rocky civil construction work, this is where machine control gets interesting.
Big rock. Smart cut. Better outcome.
SITECH South can help you understand where technology like this fits, what it can replace, and how to put it to work on your jobsite.
