no nothing like that, just a mag mounted pole onto which it bolts so you can move it to any machine no wiring etc, the cab remote is bluetooth or something no wires anyway. Never leave it on the machine as it would be gone!

keep them out of site when you go home i left mine in the cab not on not only going to cost me a new receiver but a door window at £100.00 my old man use to say learning bought is better that learning taught i wont be doing that again

Hi Mark,
I’m after one that does a 90 degrees on the ground and one horizontal. Self levelling and some degree of water protection as it’ll be used outside. Only needs a 10m range tops.
Cheers, Charlie

Hello Charlie,

Thanks for your message.

I will give you two options and then you can decide in terms of budget...

Option 1

Orient LP618:
https://www.laser-level.co.uk/products/laser-cross-line/lp618-multi-line-laser-with-detector.html

4 vertical beams and one horizontal. The four vertical beams are all set at 90° to give vertical squaring all-round. Plumb dot down and the intersection point of the four verticals gives a plumb point on the ceiling. It is also on a rotate base allowing you to rotate the laser on a central point allowing the horizontal datum to be moved around the room/site to essentially give a 360deg datum if required or simply to track round one of the verticals onto a datum allowing the second vertical to be set at 90deg.

It is IP43 (Protected from water spray less than 60 degrees from vertical) and has an accuracy of ±2mm @ 10m

It has an indoor range of depending on ambient lighting of (Naked Eye) of 10m or using the included detector can work up to 40m outdoors.

Option 2

Spectra LT-56 but would need configuring at point of order to have the HR220 Detector:
https://www.laser-level.co.uk/products/laser-cross-line/spectra-precision-lt56.html

This laser has more beams than you require but it also has the highest IP rating of line lasers we sell at IP54 which is one of your main requirements.

A 360° horizontal beam intersecting four vertical beams set at 90° to give vertical squaring all-round. Plumb dot down and the intersection point of the four verticals gives a plumb point on the ceiling.

It is IP54 (Protected against dust / Protected against splashing water from any direction) and has an accuracy of ±2mm @ 10m

It has an indoor range depending on ambient lighting of (Naked Eye) of 25m or using the optional detector can work up to 65m outdoors.

Please remember that if you choose the LT-56 you would need to tick the box "Include Optional Detector" in order to work outside.

Full pricing for each product is available via the links above. All prices are plus vat and available with free DPD delivery.

I hope this helps.

Best regards

Hi Mark

I am not in the market for a laser at the moment but will be soon i should think as my sister is looking at a new house to buy with lots of work needing to be done to it. I have looked at a level like the orient lp618 before on ebay so that is the sort of one i would be after. Are these a long term stock item or just something you have in now and again? I would think it would be later this year if not early next year by the time all the paperwork goes though and her ideas are made more realistic and do able

Hi Andy,

Thanks for your message.

As a company, we rarely buy in products as "special buys" which are only available for a short time, limited availability etc.. We like to have specific models for specific roles and to match customer's budgets. They tend to be in stock all year round unless we have a run on a particular model but then it would be re-ordered. So when the sale goes through and you start work let us know

Best regards

Hi Mark

Thanks for the reply

That is good to hear as i like i said i have looked at levels before but when i have gone for it they are out of stock so end up borrowing one from the survey division at work for a weekend or 2 but this would be as and when over a few months so makes sense to buy one. Will be in touch when i am ready with the jobs she has in mind so i can get your advice on what would be best for the jobs we have coming up

Hi Mark,
Many thanks for the speedy delivery and the additional present, just unpacked the laser and had a play in the office. WOW this little beauty is going to make a million jobs so easy. It was intended for one job but I can see this being used all the time and wished I'd got one years ago.
Cheers,
Charlie

No worries Charlie, really pleased you like it

Don't forget that when you are trying to pick up the vertical lines - to turn the detector on its side (like you do with an iPhone going from portrait to landscape mode) and the detector will then give you left and right indicators allowing you to pinpoint the exact vertical datum. Be it at floor level or 8ft in the air etc...

I'm another one who is wondering I coped before investing in more advanced laser levelling kit.

Started with a magnetic machine mountable Spectra precision CR600. My initial concerns that it wouldn't stay put, hard to see in bright sunshine or be unheard on noisy jobs were unfounded. Even on really rough digging jobs it doesn't shift, never needed the display on the highest setting and the audible bleeps have to kept down in volume or people complain ! . Setting it up is really easy too.

I was so impressed with my buy and the service that I was back buying within the month, this time for a HV302 level supplied with the optional HL760U receiver and RC402N remote control. It is truly mind blowing just how much of a game changer this was. It is really quick and easy to set a drain grade between two manholes and dig without a second person.

I keep finding it useful on jobs that I wouldn't have thought I needed it for either, concrete surrounds on sewage treatment plants are no where near so stressful with the reassuring green light of the CR600 telling me that it is not moving. Straight lines on windy days are easy. Blending levels using the level to track the HL760U and picking it up with the machine receiver is a joy.

Laser-levels-online even phoned a few days later to check that I was getting on with it and if I needed any help, goes without saying I've recommended them to friends. One of the few companies that I've been totally happy with

Many thanks for the fantastic write up on the Spectra products you purchased from us. Really pleased you are happy with the kit and the service you received. We really do appreciate the follow-up!

If anyone is interested, the kit Canal Navvy is referring to is the Spectra HV302: https://www.laser-level.co.uk/spectra-hv302-auto-rotary-laser-level.html but configured to have the upgraded Spectra HL760U Detector.

The magnetic machine mountable Spectra precision CR600 referenced is also shown here: https://www.laser-level.co.uk/spectra-precision-cr600-magnetic-detector.html

Again if anyone has any questions or needs and advice I am happy to advise.

Is the cr600 the best option for a cheap magnetic receiver?

Is the cr600 the best option for a cheap magnetic receiver?

By far, had one for about 12 years with no issues

Is the cr600 the best option for a cheap magnetic receiver?

Hi Brendan,

Yes, the Spectra CR600 or the new Spectra CR700 magnetic detectors are in our opinion, the best value for money before you start climbing into the £1000+ models. But I wouldn't recommend buying anything cheaper than this.

I tend to say to customers that although you can often save some money opting for a mid-range laser over a premium brand it is not a good idea to buy really cheap magnetic detectors. The reason for this is that essentially the laser remains pretty isolated on its tripod in the middle of the site (so doesn't necessarily need to be an amazing specification),whereas the magnetic detector, depending on the age of the plant, has to take enormous vibrations. Many many years ago we did use to sell other brands of magnetic detector but now we only sell Spectra as they are so reliable.

One customer, in particular, bought a cheap detector somewhere else and on its first outing lost it in a gravel pit. He is now very happy with his Spectra model

For anyone who is not familiar with these models...

The beauty of the CR series is that they come with both a magnet pack (for use with plant) and a traditional measuring staff clamp. This then gives you the best of both worlds.

The Spectra CR700 expands upon the capabilities of the CR600 and adds an elevation / direct read facility found in many detectors now to show the mm / inch scale. e.g. 10mm- 8mm- 6mm - 4mm- 1mm - LEVEL etc...
You wouldn't use this when magnetised to the plant (just the ultra-bright up / down and level LED's) but is very useful when mounted to the staff.

Is there a green laser equivalent available/in the pipeline by any chance?

 

[Laser Levels Online]

Is there a green laser equivalent available/in the pipeline by any chance?

Hi,

No, sadly not.

When we are advising customers on new lasers we always check to see if they have any plans to work with plant equipment. If they do, then we always go down the red laser route. Green lasers are great for a mix of indoor or outdoor projects but not when you are involving plant. There are no options for magnetic machine mountable detectors which work with green beams.

Sorry, not perhaps the answer you wanted to hear
