The Spectra Precision Laser LR20 receiver offers users of compact equipment the same accuracy and productivity enhancements as they get with larger machines, according to manufacturer Trimble.

The Spectra Precision Laser LR20 is a standalone display receiver for mini excavators, backhoes, scrapers, skid steer attachments, box blades, and small dozers. It is powered by NiMH rechargeable batteries or direct machine power.

The unit is mounted on compact machines for both elevation and depth grade control. According to Trimble, it provides better grading accuracy and more accurate material use on the construction site.

The LR20 laser receiver allows smaller construction equipment to achieve tighter tolerances without the need for a grade checker, Trimble says. From simple ditches to sloping trenches, a small- or medium-sized contractor can broaden the scope of job applications and easily move the laser receivers across their fleet of compact machines, offering a good return on investment.

Typical site preparation applications include landscaping, building pads, sports fields, curb and gutter, concrete flatwork, tennis courts, as well as footers, storm drains, utility, and sewage. It can be moved from machine to machine with features and setup options for multiple applications and specifications.

Trimble products are distributedin the UK by Liverpool-based Korac Group.
