General Construction Lasers : Using infrared beams, GC lasers are short to medium range (500' to 1000' radius) lasers used for exterior applications. Setting concrete forms, checking grade on flat pads, checking depth of footers and trenches, and even providing elevation indication for laser receivers mounted on excavators, backhoes, and the like are common applications for these lasers. Because the beams are invisible, these lasers use a receiver mounted on a grade rod to detect the beam. |

Slope Lasers : Perhaps the most advanced of all rotating construction lasers, Slope/Machine Control lasers use high power infrared or barely visible beam lasers that "broadcast" over long distances (1500' to 2500' or more) at extremely exacting slopes. Land leveling applications in the farming industry is a prime example. Extremely gentle slopes are required across long distances to promote irrigation water coverage while preventing soil erosion |

Interior Lasers : Using visible beams, Interior Lasers are used to hang ceiling grids, align and mount floor and ceiling brackets for walls, align studs, level and hang cabinets, and a host of other applications unique to the Interior construction industry. Interior lasers with slope capabilities can be used to "rake-in" or match angles in situations where settling or non-90° angles occur. Their visible beams replace the need for cumbersome bubble vials, ceiling string, and chalk lines that can get require time consuming setups. |

Pipe Lasers : One of the earliest application of lasers in the construction industry occurred in the pipe laying market. Unlike the lasers in the previous categories, Pipe Lasers emit a stationary beam of circular, visible laser light. Underground alignment is accomplished by placing the pipe laser in the manhole with the beam "broadcasting" at the designated line and slope down the trench. A target is placed inside of the pipe section being placed and is positioned so the beam strikes the center of the target. |
