Key Features of the Trimble R780

Tilt Compensation for Enhanced Precision

The Tilt Compensation feature allows you to capture accurate measurements with the Trimble R580 even when the receiver isn’t level, improving both speed and safety on-site. This feature makes it easier to work in areas where it’s difficult to level the pole, such as steep slopes or hard-to-reach locations.

  • Faster, safer data collection on any terrain
  • No need to constantly adjust the receiver for accuracy
  • Perfect for working in difficult or dangerous locations

Rugged and Durable Design

The Trimble R780 is built to withstand harsh environments. Its shockproof, weather-resistant design minimises downtime by reducing the need for frequent repairs, ensuring consistent, reliable performance across diverse construction and survey conditions.

Trimble Technologies: Driving Performance and Precision with the R780

ProPoint for Unmatched Accuracy

The Trimble ProPoint GNSS technology delivers superior positioning accuracy, even in challenging environments such as urban canyons or under tree cover. By processing all available GNSS signals, ProPoint minimises rework and enhances overall efficiency on job sites.

xFill for Continuous Operation

With Trimble xFill, productivity continues even when GNSS corrections are interrupted or unavailable, such as in obstructed environments. This technology bridges the gap, allowing crews to keep working without disruptions and maximising site efficiency.

CenterPoint RTX for Global Precision

Included with the R780 for the first 12 months, Trimble CenterPoint RTX provides RTK-level accuracy globally, without requiring a base station. This satellite and internet-based correction service is ideal for quick, cost-effective, and precise measurements in both small and large projects.

AutoBase for Quick SetUp

The Trimble AutoBase feature simplifies the setup of the base station, automatically establishing RTK connections. This saves time and reduces configuration hassle, allowing crews to spend more time on productive tasks, especially in large or complex job sites.

Applications of the Trimble R780 GNSS Smart Antenna

Use with Trimble Siteworks: Precision Positioning Made Easy

When paired with the Trimble Siteworks Positioning System, the Trimble R780 provides real-time, highly accurate data collection. It allows for fast and safe capture of accurate points, even in challenging environments, using its Tilt Compensation feature. From site measurement to quality control, the R780 ensures reliable results every time.

Rover Mode: Versatility for On-Site Operations

In rover mode, the Trimble R780 supports a range of site measurement tasks, such as pole-mounted grade checking, ATV-mounted progress monitoring, and vehicle-mounted supervision. With CenterPoint RTX, it offers RTK-level accuracy without a base station, ideal for initial reconnaissance. For higher precision, RTK corrections can be received via integrated Wi-Fi or dual-band radio.
