The RTS 773 is a Trimble Vision Total Station engineered for concrete crews, MEP trades and general contractors who need long-range, accurate layout on jobsites. Delivering speed, precision and visual verification, the RTS 773 helps your team execute design intent reliably while maximizing productivity and efficiency.
With integrated camera technology and advanced measurement systems, the Trimble RTS 773 sets the standard for modern construction layout solutions and provides a flexible, user-friendly platform. Whether you’re buying or seeking a RTS 773 rental for an upcoming project, BuildingPoint SouthEast will work with you to provide a solution that best fits your needs.
Why Choose the RTS 773 for Layout?
The RTS 773 combines industry-proven robotic total station performance with visual tools that enhance control over layout tasks on concrete slabs, foundation work, mechanical runs and structural layout. Designed for one-operator efficiency, it helps reduce crew size while increasing output, an advantage when tight schedules or limited manpower are a concern.
Key performance highlights include:
- Trimble VISION video-assisted control: View what the instrument sees on your Trimble Field Tablet. You can see and stake points directly from the RTS perspective without constant trips to the tripod.
- Visual verification: Overlay design points and linework on real images to confirm placement before marking to improve layout accuracy and documentation.
- Laser Layout: Capable of 1/16” horizontal and vertical accuracy and robotic range up to 2,625’.
These performance features make the RTS 773 an ideal choice for layout tasks like slab control, anchors and embeds, hangers and sleeves, excavation lines, and as-built checks.
Typical Use Cases
You can use the RTS 773 for the following tasks.
Concrete Layout
From control points and curb elevations to anchor bolt placement, the RTS 773 delivers accuracy that concrete crews can trust, reducing mistakes and rework.
MEP and Utility Layout
Mechanical, electrical and plumbing trades benefit from precise hanger, sleeve and line layout, especially in congested areas where tolerances are tight and pace is fast.
Structural and General Contracting
Set control points, property lines and excavation limits with confidence, knowing that points are placed exactly where the model dictates.
Because of its combination of range and accuracy, the RTS 773 supports both interior detail layout and exterior positioning work, which is ideal for mixed scopes.
