The Construction Layout Total Station for any Job Site
Equipped with everything from Trimble Direct Reflex (DR) Plus electronic distance measurement (EDM) solutions to MagDrive technology for maximum speed, the Trimble RTS573 is powerful enough for even the most demanding job sites. Designed specifically for concrete, steel, mechanical, electrical, and plumbing (MEP), and general contractors, the Trimble Robotic Total Station Series offers construction-specific functionality and one-person operation, allowing you to perform all layout and measurement tasks with maximum flexibility and cost savings.
Trimble RTS573: The Right Total Station for Your Crew
The Trimble RTS573 is for contractors who need to significantly improve layout accuracy and efficiency. This tool helps reduce costly reworks from manual errors, saves time with single-person operations, and improves layout speed.
If you're looking to invest in superior project accuracy, we have the RTS573 for sale to meet your needs. However, if you're not ready to make a purchase, we also offer rentals. An RTS573 rental allows you to see the tool in action on your site with the added benefit of managing project-by-project expenses.
A Tool Built for the Modern Job Site
The Trimble RTS573 offers many advantages, including:
- Extended range and flexibility. This tool features the unique Trimble DR Plus EDM technology. You can use the Trimble RTS573 to capture long-range measurements accurately without a prism. The RTS573 also uses direct reflexes to measure distances of up to 1,300 meters, allowing you to capture shots on large worksites efficiently.
- Unmatched speed and precision. With the MagDrive Servo technology, you can complete your layout tasks faster. This Trimble technology delivers ultra responsive control, enabling faster prism tracking and locking, which helps reduce wait times between points. The silent motor allows for quiet operation, minimizing disruptions on already noisy job sites.
- One-person robotic operation. The RTS573 transforms a two-person job into a one-person job, allowing you to redirect your crew members to other tasks.
Trimble RTS573: Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Trimble RTS573 Robotic Total Station?
The Trimble RTS573 is a robotic total station designed for precise measurements and efficient layout tasks in construction.
What is the accuracy of angle measurements with the Trimble RTS573?
The horizontal angle measurement accuracy is 3″, and the vertical angle measurement accuracy is 2″. (Note that these are arc seconds; not inches.)
How long can the Trimble RTS573 operate on a single battery charge?
With one internal battery, it operates for approximately 6.5 hours.
What environmental conditions can the Trimble RTS573 withstand?
The Trimble RTS573 can operate in temperatures ranging from -20°C to +50°C (-4°F to +122°F) and has IP55 dust and waterproofing protection.
How difficult is it to learn to use the Trimble RTS573?
The RTS573 is engineered to be user-friendly. It has an intuitive layout that makes operations hassle-free. However, if you want your team to fully leverage the capabilities of Trimble technology, we're here to support you. You can schedule a training session for your entire crew with our industry experts.
What software is compatible with the RTS573?
The Trimble RTS573 is compatible with several software offerings from Trimble. Our favorite is Trimble FieldLink. This software enables seamless office-to-field communication. With its data collection capabilities, you will have a single source of truth for the entire team.
What is the typical return on investment (ROI) for a construction layout total station?
The actual timeline and figure amount differ from project to project. However, with one-person operations, you may see lower labor costs. You can also count on fewer costly errors and streamlined workflows. On a medium to large project, The RTS573 can pay for itself in time and labor savings in 7 to 9 floors for an MEP contractor.
