Bell Equipment recently participated in Trimble Construction LIVE, a two-day event with live demonstrations showcasing CLM Positioning Solutions’ use of Trimble Machine Control Solutions.

The event was held near Muldersdrift and attended by decision-makers and leaders in the road and earthworks construction industry.

Being demonstrated in a simulated working environment were the latest Bomag BF 300P Paver, Bomag BW213D-40 Single Drum Roller, Bell 670G Grader and Bell 700J Dozer.  All these machines were fitted with state-of-the-art Trimble Machine Control equipment and demonstrations by experts from Trimble’s international operations, demonstrated how the equipment could contribute to increasing productivity and profitability.

Izak van Niekerk, Bell Equipment’s General Manager Bomag Marketing, had the following to say about the company’s participation:  “With all the pressures of a competitive working environment, it is critical for contractors to run their equipment as efficiently as possible and with Trimble Machine Controls fitted, this is indeed achievable.

“We as a company were pleased to be given the opportunity to showcase our market-leading equipment and our latest Bomag Paver, the Bomag BF300P fitted with the Trimble Sonic Averaging Beam, generated a lot of interest from contractors and plant managers alike.”
The Bomag BW213D-40 Single Drum Roller was fitted with Trimble Intelligent Compaction measuring equipment and the Bell 670G Grader and 700J Dozer, boasted Trimble Grade Control equipment, all linked to a Trimble base station.

On static display was the full range of Bomag Light Compaction equipment suitable for smaller work areas like pothole repairs as well as a Bomag MPH125 Recycler with foam bitumen, the largest of its kind, which will soon be shown in a series of live demonstrations on job sites across South Africa.
