MUNICH, April 8, 2019 /PRNewswire/ -- Trimble (NASDAQ: TRMB) and Liebherr announced today the introduction of a Trimble Ready® factory option for new Liebherr PR736 Generation 8 bulldozers. PR736 Generation 8 bulldozers that ship direct from the Liebherr factory are now ready for the installation of the Trimble® Earthworks Grade Control Platform, which can significantly reduce the cost and complexity of the installation for the contractor.
The announcement was made at bauma 2019 , the world's leading trade fair for construction machinery, building material machines, mining machines, construction vehicles and construction equipment.
