TELFS, Austria and WESTMINSTER, CO, Apr 9, 2025 – Trimble and Liebherr announced the introduction of a Trimble Ready factory option for the new line of Liebherr PR 776 Generation 8 bulldozers, the newest model from Liebherr’s competitive dozer lineup to feature this advanced technology. This option allows bulldozers shipped from the Liebherr factory to be pre-equipped with a Trimble Ready kit, streamlining onsite installation of the Trimble Earthworks grade control platform. By reducing both cost and complexity, this factory-installed option enhances efficiency for operators.

The Trimble Earthworks-ready base kit includes mounting hardware, brackets, and an integrated wiring harness, ensuring streamlined and efficient installation of Trimble Earthworks.

“By offering a Trimble Ready option, we’re providing customers with a solution that enables quick and easy installation of Trimble Earthworks,” said Nico Schuchter, product manager for Liebherr. “As operators increasingly adopt construction technology on the jobsite, this new option delivers a more integrated and cost-effective installation process for our mutual customers.”

“A new Trimble Ready option for Liebherr PR 776 Generation 8 bulldozers is another way Trimble is enabling customers of all machine types to seamlessly connect their digital and physical worlds,” said Scott Crozier, vice president, civil construction field systems at Trimble. “Our technology can now be more deeply integrated on-machine to simplify installation and maximize productivity for Liebherr customers, helping them accelerate their return on investment.”
