Machine Control

Millimeter precision accuracy on our fleet of excavators, compactors, dozers & graders.

At TKR Plant Hire, we are committed to staying at the cutting edge of earthmoving and civil construction technology, making investments in GPS and machine control solutions to enhance survey accuracy and operational precision.

We offer machine control options across our fleet, with a focus on Topcon and Trimble systems. Many of our excavators, as well as all of our graders, compactors and dozers, are pre-fitted with machine control capabilities. We provide a range of options, including UTS, GPS, 2D sonar, millimeter-level high-accuracy, and 3D GPS solutions, ensuring precision for any project.

Our operators are well-versed in operating machines equipped with Topcon and Trimble machine control technology. With most of our larger machines prepped for these systems, we can quickly integrate the right unit to meet your needs—whether for excavators, compactors, graders, or dozers. If your project requires specific technology, reach out to us, and we’ll work to ensure our machines meet your exact specifications.
