Machine Automation and Technology

Faster.  Better.  More Efficient.

Pick all three.  Machine technology available from Foley Equipment doesn’t limit you to just two.  Equipment automation solutions allow you to do the job more accurately…the first time through…which ultimately increases your profitability.  Fewer passes means less checking, less rework and a better job all the way around.

Foley is an authorized Trimble® dealer offering a full complement of solutions integrating the back office with jobsite execution…from planning and design to site positioning, machine control and asset management information throughout the construction lifecycle.

Machine Control

Compact Machines.  The Spectra Precision® and GCSFlex solutions are designed for compact to mid-sized equipment including backhoes, mini-excavators to mid-sized excavators.  Designed for the cost-conscious contractor, the GCSFlex, DDS300, LR20 and LR 50 are the outstanding solutions for a wide range of excavation work on building construction jobsites, including basement and footers excavation as well as trenching for sewage and utility installation.

Grade control systems “in a box” are ideal for contractors and owner operators with multiple machines needing flexibility in their excavating solutions.  From simple depth and slope display to elevation control, you can broaden the scope of job applications and very easily move the laser receivers across your fleet of compact and mid-sized machines.

Large Machines.  The GCS900, Grade Control System, is a flexible, upgradeable solution for larger earthmoving machines; dozers, compactors, motor graders, scrapers and excavators.  It utilizes CAN (Controller Area Network), the industry-standard system that makes for plug-and-play sensor and software upgrades for specific machine and application requirements.

Paving Solutions.  Trimble applies the same advanced positioning technology used in earthmoving to all phases of heavy and highway construction.  The result is higher productivity and precision whether you’re building new roads or resurfacing existing roads.

Leveraging design surfaces, grades and alignments on the machine, operators can mill and pave more accurately including removal of longitudinal roadwaves and high and low spots, reduce material usage and overages and significantly improve productivity.  3D technology improves surface smoothness because the machine is automatically implementing the design.  Inaccuracies due to incorrectly placed or damaged stringlines is eliminated because the stringlines are eliminated.

Site Positioning

Connecting everyone.  Site positioning systems from Trimble give contractors the right tools for everyone on…or off…the jobsite.  Work at every stage is performed faster with fewer errors and less material cost.  Site positioning systems provide the ability to accurately measure, stake, check, manage and inspect all by way of a flawless data flow between the office, machines and site personnel.

The four main components of the system…field software, receivers, field stations and office software…are developed with contractors in mind.  Simply select the best solution for each role or job function on the jobsite and the rest is easy.  It’s all connected, scalable and cost-effective.

Business Center

Ultimate data management.  Trimble software solutions bring everyone together in an on-line, web-based community.  Trimble has combined Terramodel, Paydirt and Sitevision office software into one, all-inclusive, industry-leading software package.  Business Center combines powerful back office estimating and data preparation and links it to the field for flawless, efficient execution by everyone, every machine in the field.

Foley can also connect you to your machines.  Through ProductLink and the associated software VisionLink, your machines can “talk” to you, communicating data about utilization, fuel use, mechanical status and fault codes.  This communication provides an early warning of problems, minimizing your maintenance costs by catching small problems before they turn into big ones and maximizing machine availability and productivity.

People make it work.  All the technology in the world is useless without the people to help you make the right choice for the job, install, train and support that technology.  Foley Equipment’s commitment to customer service is unmatched.  Wherever you are, we are there with the people and the know-how.
