Auto-levelling rotating lasers for site-levelling work. Three steps up the range – entry-level horizontal, premium grade laser, and dual-grade Digital Dial-a-Grade. All IP66, all read with a millimetre receiver on a staff. Solo, accurate, dependable.
If you’re after a site laser level in Australia – a rotating laser with a receiver and staff that lets one person check every height on site – this is the range. From plain site level to dual-axis digital grade.
Same electronic self levelling, same IP66 build – the step up is grade capability. Start at plain level with the BASIC614, add single-axis grade with the EL614GM, or go dual-axis digital with the DGL1010GM.
One-button electronic levelling, heavy-duty steel chassis, tilt/vibration and wind sensors, dual-sided receiver. Plain horizontal-only operation – no grade. The right pick if you only need site level and the price gap matters.
+/- 1.5mm @ 20m accuracy · 300m radius (600m diameter) with receiver · IP66 · 5 year warranty
Same one-button electronic levelling, plus single-axis grade and Auto Grade Match for 1-person grade setting. Manual slope remote dials the grade by hand; Auto Grade Match locks the laser plane to a target receiver position. Hard case, rechargeable batteries, mm receiver included.
+/- 1.5mm @ 20m accuracy · 400m radius (800m diameter) with receiver · IP66 · single-axis grade + Auto Grade Match · 5 year warranty
Top of the range. Dual-axis grade, digital dial-a-grade input, machine-control compatible. Set falls in two directions independently for compound grades on slabs, pads and channels – type the value in, the laser holds it. Up to 500m radius from one set-up.
+/- 1mm @ 20m accuracy · 500m radius (1000m diameter) with receiver · IP66 · dual-axis digital grade +/- 10.000% · 5 year warranty
Not sure which step you need? The how-to-choose section below matches the laser to the job, spec by spec.
How to set up a rotary laser and use the receiver, plus a closer look at the BASIC614, the EL614 range and the DGL1010GM digital grade laser.
Where a rotating site-levelling laser pays for itself – paddock-scale outdoor work, full sun, every height off a single set-up.
Set instrument height off the survey peg, walk the cut/fill points with the receiver on the staff. Every height marked off the same datum, no compounding error from re-measuring.
Set FFL across the slab, check footing depths, screed-level boxing. One person, every check off the same datum, faster than a dumpy.
Set the laser to a known fall (1-in-100, 1-in-200) and run the work to grade for the entire length. Single laser set-up, hundreds of metres covered.
Run a benchmark off the survey peg, set instrument height, transfer the datum to wherever you need it on the site. One laser plane, all the heights come off it.
Single laser set-up sets joist heights consistently across a long deck, post heights across a long pergola. Tilt for fall away from the house with a single-grade laser.
Pair the rotating laser with a machine receiver mounted on the blade – operator gets a heads-up height reading while trimming. Step up to a full automation system for hands-free trim work.
30 seconds on grades: which axis, which direction – the difference between a single and dual grade laser.
Tell us the work – plain level, single grade, dual grade – and the pick falls out. Match your week to a row, then check the table for the spec-by-spec differences.
The BASIC614. One-button electronic levelling in a heavy-duty steel chassis, plain horizontal-only operation – no grade. The right pick if you only need site level and the price gap matters.
The EL614GM. Single-axis grade via the slope remote, and Auto Grade Match locks the laser plane to the receiver for 1-person grade setting – driveways, drainage runs, decks falling away from the house.
The DGL1010GM. Digital dial-a-grade in two axes – type the value in, the laser holds it – up to a 500m radius from one set-up, machine-control compatible, and it also rotates vertically for alignment and site layout.

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 site-levelling, 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 hand-held and machine-mount receivers for level checks at distance and on the blade.

A site levelling laser is an auto-levelling rotating laser set up on a tripod. It spins a level reference plane across the whole site, and you read that plane with a receiver on a staff – so one person can check or transfer any height from a single set-up. Solo, accurate, dependable.
Yes – that is the point of the range. Set your instrument height off the survey peg, then walk the site with the receiver on the staff. Every height gets marked off the same datum, with no compounding error from re-measuring. The grade models go further: Auto Grade Match sets a grade to the receiver with one button, one person.
A site level runs a dead-flat plane – that is the BASIC614. A grade laser can also tilt that plane to a set fall: the EL614GM grades a single axis via its slope remote, and the DGL1010GM dials falls in two directions at once for compound grades. If falls and drainage are your bread and butter, start at the grade lasers page.
Set the laser to a known fall (1-in-100, 1-in-200) and run the work to grade for the entire length – single laser set-up, hundreds of metres covered. For falls in one direction, the EL614GM single-grade laser does it via the slope remote. For falls in two directions at once – compound grades on slabs, pads and channels – step up to the DGL1010GM: type the value in, the laser holds it.
The laser sits on a tripod and the receiver rides on a staff. The 240HDF bundle covers most site work – heavy duty aluminium tripod with a 5/8 inch survey thread and a 2.4m three-section telescopic staff. For earthmoving and bigger height deviations, the 5M5SHDET bundle steps up to an elevating tripod that winds to 3m and a 5m staff.
All three models are sealed to IP66 against dust and water, with the laser built inside a heavy duty steel chassis. They also run a Vibration & Wind Sensor (VWS) mode for harsh conditions and a TILT mode for error mitigation if the unit gets knocked.
Yes. Pair the laser with a machine receiver like the MR706 magnetic-mount receiver on the blade – the operator gets a heads-up height reading while trimming. Step up to a full automation system for hands-free trim work.
For one-person site work, yes. With a rotating laser you set the instrument height once and walk the site with the receiver on the staff – every check comes off the same datum, faster than a dumpy, and nobody has to stand at the instrument reading the staff for you.

excellent service and delivery time was fast aswell

GGerry Rohde2 weeks agoAwesome customer experience from the out of hours messaging to the speedy delivery 😀 👍
KKevin J.3 weeks agoA phone call to confirm that the 10 year old battery needed replacing made getting back to work easy
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.
