Trimble has been manufacturing the industry’s leading robotic total stations for over a decade. You can depend on the Trimble S5 Total Station to keep you productive in the field no matter what you encounter.

Trimble Technology
The Trimble S5 Total Station is built upon proven Trimble technologies like SurePoint, MagDrive and our DR Plus EDM, helping you work more efficiently while maintaining the highest accuracy possible. Smooth and silent, Trimble MagDrive electro-magnetic technology means fewer moving parts, which reduces servicing requirements. Trimble SurePoint ensures accurate pointing and measurements by actively correcting for unwanted movements like wind, handling, and sinkage. The Trimble DR Plus EDM allows you to measure with fewer instrument set-ups and enhance your direct reflex performance.

Manage Your Assets 24/7
Know where your total stations are 24 hours a day with Trimble Locate2Protect technology. See where your equipment is at any given time and get alerts if your instrument leaves a jobsite or experiences unexpected equipment shock or abuse. Trimble InSphere™ Equipment Manager system lets you view usage and keep up-to-date on firmware, software and maintenance requirements. With Trimble Locate2Protect and InSphere Equipment Manager, you can rest assured knowing your equipment is up-to-date and where it should be.

Robotic and Autolock
The Trimble S5 Total Stations are available in robotic or Autolock-only versions. The Trimble S5 robotic and Autolock versions have an optional TCU data collector with Trimble Access field software for convenient, simple operation in any environment.

Integrated Surveying
The Trimble S5 Total Station provides the foundation for Trimble’s Integrated Surveying solutions. With Integrated Surveying, you can seamlessly integrate complementary technologies on the job site, such as Trimble GNSS receivers and optical measurements.

Powerful Field and Office Software
Choose from a variety of Trimble controllers operating the feature rich, intuitive Trimble Access field software. Streamlined workflows guide crews through common project types, helping to get the job done faster with less distractions. Trimble Access workflows can also be customized to fit your needs.

Back in the office, trust Trimble Business Center software to help you check, process and adjust your optical, leveling, and GNSS data in one software solution. No matter what Trimble instruments you use in the field, you can trust that Trimble Business Center office software will help you generate industry-leading deliverables
