The Leica 848138 is a purpose-engineered carrying case designed exclusively for the LMR240 machine-mounted grade control receiver. If your crew is running LMR240 receivers on excavators, dozers, or motor graders, you already know how much that technology is worth—protecting it during transport and storage between jobs is non-negotiable. The 848138 case gives you a clean, secure, form-fitted solution that Leica built to match the receiver it's meant to carry.
Overview and Jobsite Applications
The LMR240 receiver is a high-value component in Leica's iCON and Leica Geosystems grade control ecosystem. Whether it's moving from a warehouse to a remote excavation site, riding in a service truck between projects, or sitting in storage over the winter, the 848138 case keeps it protected from impacts, dust, and moisture ingress that can degrade sensitive electronics over time. Contractors who operate fleets with multiple machines rely on organized, labeled cases like this one to maintain chain-of-custody over expensive machine receivers across multiple crews and jobsites.

Job Applications
Fleet Rotation Between Sites: Earthmoving contractors rotating LMR240 receivers between multiple machines and jobsites need a reliable case for every move. The 848138 eliminates loose transport that leads to cracked housings and connector damage.
Winter Storage: Machine receivers that sit through an off-season need protection from dust accumulation and incidental impacts in storage facilities. A dedicated case keeps the LMR240 ready to deploy when the season opens.
Service and Calibration Runs: When sending the LMR240 in for dealer service or factory calibration, a proper OEM case ensures the unit arrives without additional damage and signals professional handling to the service team.
Multi-Crew Operations: On large grading or site development projects with multiple operators sharing machine control components, a labeled carrying case creates accountability and reduces the risk of receivers being left unsecured on machines or in cabs.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Will the Leica 848138 fit any other receivers besides the LMR240?
- The 848138 is engineered specifically for the LMR240 machine receiver. While it may physically accommodate similarly sized devices, Leica designed the interior molding to match the LMR240's exact footprint. For other receivers, check for the appropriate OEM case to ensure proper fit and protection.
- Is this case waterproof or water-resistant?
- The 848138 is designed to protect against dust and incidental moisture exposure during transport and storage, but it is not rated as a fully submersible or IP-rated waterproof case. For extended outdoor exposure, store the case in a dry, covered location.
- Does the case include foam inserts or padding for accessories?
- The 848138 is purpose-molded for the LMR240 receiver itself. If you need to store additional cables or accessories alongside the receiver, verify available internal clearance before packing additional items to avoid pressure on the receiver housing.
- Is the Leica 848138 covered under a warranty?
- As an OEM Leica accessory sold through Express Tools, an authorized Leica dealer, the 848138 is covered under Leica's standard accessory warranty policy. Contact Express Tools with your proof of purchase for any warranty inquiries.
