SitePro 11-SCR25-C 25-Foot Fiberglass Grade Rod — Inch Graduations
The SitePro 11-SCR25-C is a professional-grade 25-foot fiberglass leveling rod built for demanding construction and surveying environments. Featuring clear inch graduations and a four-section telescoping design, this rod delivers the accuracy and durability that surveyors, grade checkers, and site foremen need on active jobsites. Whether you're shooting grades for utility trenching, road subbase, or building foundations, the SCR25-C gives your crew a reliable tool that performs shift after shift.
Product Overview & Jobsite Applications
The SCR25-C is engineered for contractors and survey crews who need a full 25-foot read range without lugging heavy aluminum rods. Its fiberglass construction keeps the rod lightweight and completely non-conductive, making it the safe choice when working near overhead lines, electrical utilities, or underground power corridors. The CR-type construction means graduated scales are printed on a tough, wear-resistant surface that holds up to rough handling in dirt, mud, and wet conditions. Four telescoping sections collapse the rod to a compact carry length for easy transport in crew trucks and equipment trailers.
Key Specifications
- Model: SitePro 11-SCR25-C
- Extended Length: 25 feet
- Graduation Type: Inches (CR-type scale)
- Material: Fiberglass — non-conductive and corrosion-resistant
- Sections: 4 telescoping sections
- Collapsed Length: Approximately 7 feet for transport
- Scale Visibility: High-contrast graduations readable at typical instrument distances
- Weight: Lightweight design for reduced crew fatigue
Key Features
- Non-Conductive Fiberglass: Safe for use near energized lines and electrical infrastructure — no metal components to create shock hazards
- Four Telescoping Sections: Extends to full 25-foot height with secure section locks; collapses for one-person carry and storage in most truck beds
- Rounded Back Corners: Ergonomic profile reduces hand fatigue during extended measuring sessions when the rod is held overhead or at arm's length
- Stand-Off Ribs: Protect the graduated face from contact with rough surfaces, preserving scale legibility over the life of the rod
- CR-Type Graduations: Inch markings printed on a durable substrate designed to resist fading, chipping, and abrasion from field use
- Corrosion-Resistant Construction: Performs reliably in wet, coastal, or chemically active environments where aluminum rods may corrode or pit
Job Applications
Utility & Municipal Work: Check trench bottom grades and pipe invert elevations in water, sewer, and stormwater projects. The non-conductive fiberglass body is mandatory safety equipment when operating near energized infrastructure.
Road & Site Grading: Verify subbase and subgrade elevations across large pads and road sections. The 25-foot range gives crews the read height needed for deep cut sections and tall embankment slopes.
Building Foundation Layout: Shoot floor and footing elevations with optical levels or digital levels. Inch graduations work seamlessly with builders levels and automatic levels calibrated in feet and inches.
Topographic Surveying: Use with total stations or digital levels for elevation data collection across sites where wide elevation changes demand a longer rod than standard 13-foot models provide.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What does CR-type construction mean on a grade rod?
- CR-type refers to the style of graduation scale used on the rod. CR-type rods use a direct-reading format where numbers increase from bottom to top, making them compatible with standard optical and automatic levels used in construction and surveying. This format allows the instrument operator to read measurements directly without conversion calculations.
- Is the SitePro 11-SCR25-C safe to use near power lines?
- Yes. The rod is constructed entirely from fiberglass, which is a non-conductive material. This makes it significantly safer than aluminum rods in environments where contact with or proximity to energized electrical lines is a risk. Always follow your company's safety protocols and OSHA guidelines when working near overhead or underground utilities regardless of rod material.
- How compact does the SCR25-C become when collapsed?
- The four-section telescoping design collapses the rod to approximately 7 feet, which fits in most full-size truck beds and many equipment trailers. The collapsed length makes it manageable for a single crew member to transport between setup points on large sites.
- Can this rod be used with a digital level or total station?
- Yes. The SCR25-C with inch graduations is compatible with optical automatic levels, builders levels, and laser levels calibrated for feet-and-inches readings. For use with total stations or digital levels that require bar-code rods, verify that your instrument model supports standard graduated rods, as some digital levels require proprietary bar-code staffs for electronic readout.
