Now With Tilt Compensation

Construction surveyors can work faster and safer by capturing accurate points without leveling the pole.

Rugged, All-In-One Solution

  • Combines unprecedented strength and durability into a compact form that is easy to use and virtually indestructible
  • The most rugged receiver Trimble has ever built, so you won’t experience downtime with equipment that doesn’t work
  • Sensor onboard shows verticality on field controller screen; in the dark or hard to reach locations, work more efficiently and save time when you can’t easily see the rod bubble
  • Longer battery life in the field; keep working longer

Tilt Compensation

Using the Trimble SPS986 GNSS Smart Antenna with tilt compensation and Trimble Field Link, capture accurate points while standing, walking or driving the site in a vehicle, while the receiver is not level. From inside the vehicle, contractors can set the height of the antenna and quickly interrogate surface models using the real-time 3D surface display. Tilt compensation allows for faster data collection—create larger digital terrain models faster and with improved accuracy.

Advantages of Tilt Compensation
  • Easy to learn for beginners, saves time for experienced surveyors
  • Easily and safely survey hard to reach areas (corners, traffic lanes, utility flowlines)
  • From a moving vehicle, capture higher accuracy measurements on steeper slopes
  • Capture more accurate volume measurements to save time and money on material planning
  • Auto-measure antenna height
  • Faster measurements, more efficient stake-outs
  • No magnetic interference

Flexibility

  • Can be easily moved from carrying case to range pole, tripod, t-bar, or vehicle with a single click
  • Easier and faster to get going and allows for more flexibility of operation techniques

ProPoint Technology

Trimble ProPoint GNSS technology uses all available signals to provide survey-grade positioning in many areas where other GNSS systems either can’t provide a solution at all or produce unreliable error estimates.

“

We are heavily invested in Tekla. I’m talking hundreds and hundreds of licenses, and have a fantastic working relationship with Tekla, a Trimble owned company. We naturally then had an interest in the Trimble equipment for taking our models to the field. However, our interaction with certain members of the Trimble team has not been great. We feel like a customer to them, not a partner, which threatened our interests in pursuing the equipment, or any further use of Trimble’s portfolio of products. However, our interaction with the BuildingPoint team renewed that interest, because we really felt like they were genuine in their attention to our needs and did everything they could to work with us – and actually establish a relationship with us as a partner in this effort, not just a customer. Without BuildingPoint, I don’t know that we would be involved with the Trimble Equipment, nor recommending it to our builder network.
