CTCT Division

The CTCT division (a joint venture between Trimble and Caterpillar) creates world leading grade control and automation products for customers in the paving, construction, landfill, and mining industries.

Our products make operators of heavy equipment more productive, whether they’re working on a landscaping job in someone’s backyard, levelling a section for a house, building a subdivision or highway, or operating an 800-tonne excavator on a mine site.

Central to our success is accurate positioning. We utilise the latest in technology from our inhouse developed positioning technologies utilising IMU, GNSS, Laser, Optical and Sonic sensors, and some tech we can’t even talk about yet, to empower machine operators with clear and accurate guidance.

In many cases we automate functions of the machine, so the operator can concentrate on other tasks.
