GPS/UTS Grader Blade
A grading blade works with GNSS/GPS or a universal total station to reference a digital design. The chosen system depends on satellite reception, survey control and the available working space.
When to choose it
- Trimming pads and pavements to a digital design
- Grading in work areas too confined for a conventional grader
- Using total-station guidance where satellite reception is obstructed
When it’s not the right call
- Poor satellite reception. A GNSS/GPS configuration needs suitable satellite reception and corrections.
- Blocked optical tracking. UTS needs line of sight between a correctly established total station and the machine target.
- Unconfirmed design reference. Wrong coordinates, datum or calibration can produce wrong levels. Survey checks remain necessary.
Sizes we work with
The size depends on your machine and the job. Share the carrier make and model, material and dimensions so we can check the setup.

The Right Setup Starts Here
Tell us what you need to get done. A few key details about your job help us specify, configure and commission the right attachment for your machine, application and site requirements.
- Design: Approved digital surface, coordinate system, datum and required tolerance.
- Survey control: Benchmarks, corrections or total-station setup and responsibility for verification.
- Working space: Sky view, optical obstructions, access and material condition.
- Your machine: Make, model, mounting plate, rated operating capacity and relevant hydraulic or electrical controls.

Common questions
What is a GPS grader blade for a skid steer?
A grading blade that works with GNSS/GPS or a universal total station to trim to a digital design surface.
Can machine control work where GPS is unavailable?
UTS guidance can be considered where satellite reception is poor, including covered or underground work, with suitable survey control and line of sight.
What design files do you need for machine control?
The digital surface, coordinate system, survey control and required tolerance. The site survey team confirms the reference before work starts.
Can a compact loader replace a grader in tight areas?
With machine control, a compact loader can trim pads and pavements in areas too confined for a conventional grader.
Will a gps/uts grader blade fit my skid steer or track loader?
Send us the machine make and model, mounting plate details and hydraulic flow and pressure. The gps/uts grader blade's weight, the loader's rated operating capacity and any electrical controls also need to match. We check the combination before it mobilises so it arrives ready to work.
