Why the Trimble RTS873?

Join us as we discuss the features and benefits of the Trimble RTS873, who it is best suited for, and why.

Features & Benefits

Built For The Jobsite

Rugged design, withstands tough jobsite conditions and minimizes downtime due to repair.

Highly Visible Laser

Visually mark points quickly, at greater range, with the Class 2 Laser Pointer and Automatic Servo Focus sets the optical focus for quick manual aiming when laying out points in DR mode.

Autofocusing Green Laser

Improve layout accuracy and speed of DR layout. The RTS873 autofocusing green beam optimizes visibility of layout points at all distances.

Trimble VISION

Trimble VISION gives you the power to see everything the instrument sees without a trip back to the tripod. Direct your layout with live video images on the Trimble Field Tablet. Now you are free to capture measurements, to prism or reflector-less surfaces, with point and click efficiency.

SurePoint Technology

Trimble SurePoint Technology ensures accurate measurements by automatically correcting for unwanted movement due to wind, sinkage, and other factors.

MultiTrack Technology

Trimble MultiTrack technology locks on and tracks passive prisms for control measurements and active targets for dynamic measurement, stakeout and grade control.

Connectivity

Accurate Layout

Take control of the Robotic Total Station receiver to precisely layout directly from the model or created lines.

Real-time Visualizations

Accurately and effectively collect points, lines and curves to create your own 3D project as-built or surface analysis.

In The Field

Who is the RTS873 best suited for and why?

The Trimble RTS873 is a robotic total station designed for general and specialty contractors who require quality, accuracy and optimum field performance.

The Trimble RTS873 includes a proprietary feature that is a Specialty Contractors game changer, a focused green beam laser. The focused green beam laser marks the exact location with a powerful and very visible laser spot. This in conjunction with Trimble’s Visual Layout to correct elevations on non-level floors ensures fast and precise layout. The RTS873 also has Trimble VISION, an integrated camera in the robotic total station that provides a “through the telescope view” remotely via the Trimble Tablet and Trimble Field Link.

The RTS873 is built for construction:

  • Optimal speed, accuracy and reliability through measurement solution technology.
  • Combine the Trimble DR HP Precision EDM with Trimble VISION and you have the flexibility to tackle the most demanding projects.
  • Automatic Servo Focus sets the optical focus for quick manual aiming when laying out points in DR mode.
  • Combined with Trimble Field Link software running on the Trimble Field Tablet, you are able to optimize your accuracy and productivity.

The RTS873 is best suited for these trades:

  • Carpenters
  • Concrete
  • Electrical
  • Fire Protection
  • GC/CM
  • Glass
  • Masonry
  • Mechanical
  • Plumbing
  • Specialty
  • Steel
