“This is why we’re thrilled to evolve our relationship with Trimble and enhance our smart construction offering,” he adds. “Our ability to deliver the Trimble lineup allows us to better serve our customers with additional options, streamlined service and reduced implementation timelines that will ultimately maximize their technology ROI.”

Trimble machine control systems combine sensors with digital displays and indicate or automation features to give operators better insight into and control over their work. From positioning buckets and other implements to using equipment more efficiently, the technologies help improve accuracy and safety while reducing equipment wear-and-tear and fuel consumption. Trimble is an aftermarket solution that can be added to many makes and models of equipment and transferred between machines.

In their recent announcement, Trimble’s Ron Bisio, Senior Vice President, Field Systems said, “Our goal is to make it as easy as possible for contractors using all types of equipment to leverage Trimble technology to achieve smarter operations across their digital and physical domains. SMS Equipment’s geographic reach, commitment to excellence and collaborative approach make it perfectly poised to deliver Trimble solutions to Komatsu, BOMAG and Takeuchi customers in Western Canada.”
