Three product groups for one trade. Rotating lasers for site-wide level and grade. Machine receivers for heads-up height reading from the cab. Full laser automation systems for hands-free blade control. Build a kit that matches the size of your earthworks.
Every construction laser level on this page is receiver-read for outdoor range and IP66 sealed against site dust and weather – from a builders laser level for a single pad through to full machine control.
All three work off the same rotating laser plane – pick by who reads the laser. The operator on a staff, the operator in the cab, or the blade itself.
The reference plane on a tripod. Sets datum and slope across site-wide distances. Read with a millimetre receiver on a staff for setting out, checking RL, marking batters and channel grades. Single-axis grade for falls, dual-axis for compound grades.
Mounts to the bucket or blade. Operator gets a heads-up LED display in the cab – green for on-grade, red arrows for cut/fill. No staff person, no second operator. Faster trim work because the operator stays in the seat.
The receiver bolts to the blade hydraulics through a control box. Operator sets the cut, the system drives the blade to the laser plane automatically. Trim quality on every pass for finished pads, channels and roads.
Six rotating laser levels – entry-level horizontal-only through to flagship Digital Dial-a-Grade. All IP66 rated for site conditions, every model pairs with a millimetre receiver on a staff. Single-axis grade for falls, dual-axis for compound grades on roads and pads.
These construction lasers are part of the full rotating laser range – and the grade models are covered in depth on the grade lasers page.
Mounts on the bucket or blade, magnetic or bracket-mount, water and dust sealed. The operator reads the LEDs from the cab – green for on-grade, red arrows for cut or fill. Compatible with grade lasers for setting falls, the standout productivity boost for any civil earthmoving fleet.
Single-ram (MCR900) for skid-steer blades and land planes; dual-ram (MCR910) for blades with two independent rams. Pair with one of the grade lasers above and the receiver drives the blade hydraulics to match the laser plane automatically. Trim quality on every pass.

Custom installs are common – we tailor systems for tractors, skid-steers, posi-tracks, loaders and land planes. See the full Machine Automation page for setup detail and FAQs.
Machine receivers on excavators, earthmoving laser packages, automation systems and grade setting – short walkthroughs from the RedBack channel.
Where a laser, machine receiver or automation system earns its keep on civil work – site-wide jobs that move a lot of dirt and need to hold a known grade.
Set the laser to the design crossfall, run the blade with a single-ram automation system, hold trim quality on every pass. Compound grades on a dual-axis flagship laser for the full road profile.
Set the laser to a known fall (1-in-1000, 1-in-2000) and run the channel to grade for the entire length. Receiver in the cab or on the staff, every metre of channel holds the design fall.
Trim the pad to FFL minus the design depth with a machine receiver on the bucket. Operator stays in the cab, no staff person, finished surface ready for boxing or compaction.
Run a benchmark off the survey peg, set instrument height, transfer the datum site-wide. One laser plane, all the heights on the site come off it – set-out, cut/fill, trim heights.
Hand-held mm receiver on a staff for the labourer, machine receiver on the bucket for the operator. Same laser plane, both reading off the same datum, no double-handling.
Set wall height and batter slope, hold the floor to design RL with the laser plane. Receiver on the staff confirms grade at every point in the cut.
Match the laser to the job in front of you. These are the picks we give over the phone – if it moves dirt to a design level, there’s a spot in the range for it.
The BASIC614 keeps it simple with a dual-sided graduated receiver, or step up to the EL614 for a millimetre receiver that reads down to 0.5mm. Both are horizontal-only rotary lasers with 1-button electronic levelling.
The EL614S sets a single grade via slope remote – one person, no ladder work at the tripod. Read the fall on the staff with its 0.5mm receiver.
The EL614GM adds Auto Grade Match – stand the receiver at the height you want and the laser grades itself to it, up to ~50m away.
The EGL624GM runs dual grades via slope remote and auto-levels in both horizontal and vertical – one laser for levelling, grades, alignment and set-out.
The flagship DGL1010GM dials grades digitally to +/-10.000% in both axes, holds +/-1mm @ 20m and covers a 500m radius on its Class 3 red beam.
Anyone can sell a laser. Few back it properly.
We sell laser levels and measurement tools – that’s it. Every laser on this page is one we’ve used and chosen because it works for civil construction, not because it fills a catalogue page.
Solid construction, built for the long term. RedBack provides in-house repair and calibration services for all RedBack lasers and most other laser brands.
Call us and you’ll speak to someone who knows the products. No scripts, no call centre, no runaround – just straight answers from people who’ve worked with these tools for 25 years.
Tripod and 5m staff for setting up the rotating laser, plus a hand-held mm receiver for ground checks where the operator can’t see the LEDs in the cab.

It depends who reads the laser. For an operator on a staff: a rotating laser with a millimetre receiver – the EL614S for single-grade falls, or the DGL1010GM for digital dual-axis grades on roads and pads. For an operator in the cab: add a machine receiver to the bucket or blade. For hands-free trim work: a laser automation system drives the blade to the laser plane automatically.
A machine receiver shows the operator heights – green for on-grade, red arrows for cut or fill – and the operator moves the blade or bucket. A laser automation system closes the loop: the receiver connects to the blade hydraulics through a control box and the system drives the blade to the laser plane automatically. Receivers suit excavators and mixed fleets; automation suits blade implements like land planes and skid-steer blades.
The machine receiver range reads any red beam rotating laser, Class 2 or Class 3 – it doesn’t have to be a RedBack. Accuracy settings switch between fine (3-5mm) and coarse (5-25mm) so you can trade precision for speed depending on whether you’re trimming or bulk shifting.
Set the laser to the design fall and the whole rotating plane tilts to match – every metre of the run then holds that grade. The EL614S sets a single grade via slope remote, the EGL624GM sets dual grades, and the DGL1010GM dials the exact percentage digitally to +/-10.000% in both axes. Read the fall on a staff with a millimetre receiver, or from the cab with a machine receiver.
The rotating lasers on this page hold +/-1.5mm @ 20m, and the flagship DGL1010GM tightens that to +/-1mm @ 20m. On the ground you read them with a 0.5mm millimetre receiver. Machine receivers switch between fine (3-5mm) and coarse (5-25mm) settings to suit trim or bulk work.
Outdoors the beam is read by a receiver, not by eye – so red does the job, and that’s why the civil range is red beam. The machine receivers here are built for red beam rotating lasers, Class 2 or Class 3. Class 3 models like the DGL1010GM put out more power (under 5mW versus under 1mW for Class 2), which is what stretches its range to a 500m radius.

JJay Saunders4 months agoRedback lasers sent the product fast which saw me receive the product in no time. I also received a free upgrade to a lr730 which I was stoked about. The LR730 works a treat for getting heights set out precisely
KKaron Collier4 months agoAs I purchased it for my cousin to use and it has made the job so much easier with alot more jobs to do so it will be getting a workout But very happy with the product
BBradley Barber5 months agoWe just received our first rotating lasor level from RedBack and so far has been great Fast postage , easy ordering and arrived safe and works perfectly
BBearing Logistics6 months agoGreat customer service and open dialogue and follow up. 100% deserved the five stars. Well done
FFranz Franz6 months agoCustomer service was above and beyond. Product has met and beaten expectations. They were sold out of the package deal I wanted but contacted me directly when stock came in to offer it without waiting for it to go online. Had the laser over two weeks now and it's light beam is brighter than my mates DeWalt and the receiver works at a longer distance. Another cool feature is that the batteries have a USB C port on them for charging with USB C cable instead of needing another charger. Was dubious about them being cheaper than others on the market but I honestly can't fault it. Carry box also feels strong and sturdy.
