Sokkia LP30A Construction Laser Level Planer

The Stadium that was contracted to my company to be built was going to a huge project. The architects spent months on the design of the stadium and finally released the plans over to the contractors. I called my team together for a meeting to discuss and decide what tools we would need in order to complete the project. As we started listing the items, one of my co-workers announced that we need the Sokkia LP30A Construction Laser Level Planer.

I have never heard of the item and asked him what exactly the Sokkia LP30A Construction Laser Level Planer does and why we would need that specific item. So my colleague started to explain that the Sokkia LP30A was an electronically self leveling machine that can be used indoors or outdoors for a wide range of needs in construction, civil engineering and interior finishing.

What I learned was that the Sokkia LP30A employs a precision pendulum compensator to ensure horizontal accuracy. The compensator is activated by gravity and is unaffected by temperature variations. Accurate measurement is therefore possible in a variety of measuring environments. The air damping system ensures laser beam stability even in locations subject to vibration. The reliability and durability of the compensator system has been proven at jobs sites all over the world.

The Sokkia LP30A is also very easy to work. Simply place the LP30A on a tripod or level arm, and set it approximately level. The built-in compensator then automatically sets the horizontal plane and the laser rotor starts revolving immediately. If the unit is tilted or jarred beyond its self-leveling range, the rotation and laser beam stop automatically and a warning lamp flashes.

My colleague continued to clarify that the Sokkia LP30A is a highly water-resistant unit which is protected from splash water from any direction in compliance with IPX4. If caught in a sudden shower, just wipe off the water. The rotor assembly is fully enclosed in a reinforced glass housing protecting it from water and dust.

The Sokkia LP30A also has a variation of power packages. It can be powered by four D (R20) size batteries or a rechargeable Ni-Cd battery. Both models operate for 90 hours with alkaline batteries and 40 hours with Ni-Cd battery BDC39A. The optional AC adapter EDC79 (plus adapter EDC74) enabled use with AC power (1000V to 240V).

The Sokkia LP30A’s rugged design withstands the stresses of construction sites with reinforced glass to protect from water and dust. The instruments’ accuracy and extended battery life offers a higher standard for leveling tools. As my colleague finished listing all the details of the products, I found that I was impressed. I took a vote among the team that was assembled to see if we should purchase the Sokkia LP30A. The vote turned out to be unanimous.

Automatic Level Leica Runner

I was transporting my Automatic Level to a construction site that I was working at, when I hit a bump in the road. The Automatic Level fell off the seat and hit the floor of my truck. I immediately pulled over to the side of the road and picked up the level to see the damage. I wiped it down and quickly looked into the eyepiece. My heart dropped. My trusted level that I have had for several years was done for. There was no way that the damage could be fixed.
I turned my truck around and drove straight home. I could not finish my job on the construction sight without an Automatic Level.

As soon as I got home I turned on the computer and sat down to do some research on the internet. I was looking for a robust, sturdy and reliable Automatic Level. One level kept popping up on all the searches. It was the Leica Runner Automatic Level that comes in a 20X magnification and a 24X magnification.

The Leica Runner Automatic Level kept being described as rugged, tough and accurate. I looked further into it and found that it was designed to work hard on the jobsite, is quick to set up, easy to use and very reliable. The Leica Runner has an automatic compensator and fast, clear optics which speeds up measurements and increases the accuracy. A short drop onto the ground, rain or vibration from heavy machinery will not stop the Leica Runner from working. No time-consuming checking or readjustment required which reduces work downtime, which translates into higher productivity, resulting in higher reliability and accuracy.

The Leica Runner Automatic Level is an ideal tool for daily leveling tasks. The Leica Runner Automatic Level is the ideal Level for site foremen, architects, engineers, surveyors, landscape gardeners, carpenters, construction companies, and many more. The Leica Runner has superior performance at such a great price. That is why I have already ordered mine online and am waiting for the package to arrive.

Spectra Precision Green Beam Interior Construction Laser Horizontal Vertical

Part of my company’s warehouse floor slopes on an angle so that if you tried to put shelves up, they would tilt dangerously. I decided that I was going to level out that part of the warehouse floor. I gathered all the necessary instruments, equipment and supplies that I would need to do the task and started working. I found out quickly that I did not have the right Leveling Laser to do the job.

I was working with a Red Beam Laser and I couldn’t see the beam. The warehouse was too big and well lit for the red beam to shine brightly. Instead of leveling the floor I was making it worse because of the lack of direction from the machine.

Luckily, I work for a company that supplies construction lasers so I started browsing the inventory. One caught my eye. Spectra had just put out a new Green Bream Horizontal/Vertical Laser on the market called the HV301G. I was curious to see if this laser would be any better. I took it off the shelf and set it on the floor to begin working. I held my breath as I flipped the switch to turn the HV301G on. It was incredible! The HV301G green laser beam was easy to see and the superior visibility in such an extended and bright area helped me finish the job faster and more accurately.

The HV301G also has a laser transmitter that sends a continuous, self-leveled 360-degree laser reference over the entire work area. Various rotation speeds and scanning angles allow you to concentrate the laser beam in your work area for optimum visibility. A 90-degree reference beam is included for a wide variety of layout work and point transfer. A 360 degree remote control allows operation of key functions over the jobsite.

The HV301G is also automatically self-leveling in both horizontal and vertical modes which assure accuracy. A height of instrument alert turns the beam off when the elevation of the laser changes or is disturbed. The laser can also be used in the manual leveling mode for slope applications such as matching existing slopes.

The HV301G is rugged enough for the toughest jobsite. Highly durable construction enables the HV301G laser to survive a drop of up to 3 feet onto concrete. It is an incredible Laser!
