Top 100: Steep-Slope Capability

Sept. 28, 2010

Trimble's Spectra Precision GL742—the premier laser in the series—is designed for accurate steep-slope grading of environmental or waste-dump sites, parking garages and other extreme slope settings. With remote control, operators can change the grade up to a 230-meter radius range from within the cab. Grade-match mode will automatically match and display the grade. Automatic axis alignment means the operator can align either side of any grade axis to the desired remote point. Operating range is up to 500 feet from the transmitter. Estimated list price: $7,595
