Professional Dual Slope Laser for Site Grading, Drainage, and Foundation Work
The Topcon RL-200 2S (SKU: 314920762) is a dual slope rotating laser level engineered for contractors who need precision grade control across complex jobsite applications. With independent slope capability in two opposing axes — up to 25% in each direction — this machine handles everything from parking lot drainage and building pad layout to agricultural land grading and highway construction. Paired with the LS-80X laser receiver, the RL-200 2S delivers reliable performance at ranges up to 2,600 feet in diameter, making it one of the most versatile grade lasers in its class.
Overview and Jobsite Applications
Whether you're a grading contractor working on commercial site development or a builder establishing precise foundation elevations, the Topcon RL-200 2S gives you the dual slope flexibility that single-slope machines simply can't match. Its self-leveling system compensates for minor setup variations automatically, so your crew spends less time adjusting and more time moving dirt. The rechargeable battery system keeps the unit running through a full shift without interruption.

Job Applications
Parking Lot and Site Drainage: The dual-axis slope capability lets you establish precise two-directional fall across large paved surfaces, ensuring water drains to planned collection points without ponding.
Building Pad and Foundation Layout: Set consistent grade across slab areas and footings with sub-10mm accuracy, reducing the risk of costly elevation errors before concrete is poured.
Agricultural Land Grading: Cover large field areas with a single setup using the 2,600 ft working diameter. Establish efficient irrigation slopes quickly and accurately with minimal machine repositioning.
Road and Highway Construction: Control cross-slope and longitudinal grade simultaneously on road subbase and base course layers, meeting DOT grade tolerances with confidence.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Can the RL-200 2S set slope in both X and Y directions at the same time?
- Yes. The RL-200 2S supports simultaneous dual-axis slope, meaning you can set independent grade percentages on both the X and Y axes at the same time — up to 25% on each axis. This is the key advantage over single-slope rotating lasers.
- What is the working range of the RL-200 2S with the LS-80X receiver?
- The RL-200 2S has a working diameter of 2,600 feet (approximately 800 meters) when used with a compatible laser receiver like the included LS-80X. This makes it well-suited for large site grading, agricultural, and road construction applications.
- Is the RL-200 2S compatible with machine control systems?
- The RL-200 2S can be used with some aftermarket laser-based machine control systems that accept rotating laser input. For full machine control integration, verify compatibility with your specific system. Contact Express Tools for guidance on compatible setups.
- How long does the battery last on the RL-200 2S?
- The included rechargeable NiMH battery pack provides over 50 hours of continuous operation at standard rotation speed. A full recharge takes approximately 8 hours using the included AC wall charger.
