HANDHELD LASER RECEIVER
Dual Sides
The Spectra Precision Laser HR500 laser receiver is for general, concrete and site prep contractors. It provides accurate measurement of elevations across the construction site, the maker says. The HR500 can be used as either a handheld or rod-mounted receiver for a wide range of applications. The tool features a 15-channel linear display. When moving outside of the receiver pickup area, a lost beam direction indication allows contractors to quickly recover the on-grade position. TRIMBLE; 408/481-7808; www.trimble.com
