Professional Rotary Laser Kit Built for Site Work
The Bosch GRL900-20HVK Revolve900 Rotary Laser Kit gives contractors a complete, field-ready solution for horizontal and vertical grade work right out of the box. Designed for moderate-scale grading, site layout, and elevation control, this kit pairs the reliable GRL900-20HV laser unit with all the accessories you need to get to work immediately — including the LR10 laser receiver, RC1 remote control, a heavy-duty tripod, and an inches grade rod. Whether you're establishing finish grade on a commercial pad or setting forms for a residential pour, the Revolve900 delivers the accuracy and dependability your crew expects.
Overview & Jobsite Applications
The GRL900-20HVK is an entry-level rotary laser system purpose-built for contractors who need consistent, accurate elevation control without the complexity of high-end survey instruments. Operating at 600 RPM with a self-leveling range of ±5°, it automatically compensates for minor out-of-level conditions so setup time stays short and productivity stays high. The working range extends up to 1,000 feet in diameter when used with the included LR10 receiver, making it well-suited for open grading sites, drainage work, and building layout applications. The RC1 remote lets one operator control the laser from anywhere on the jobsite, eliminating the need for a second crew member at the instrument.
