The SitePRO 01-TFG2 Tripod Stabilizer Floor Guide is purpose-built for contractors and surveyors who need a rock-solid instrument setup on polished concrete, sealed asphalt, tile, or any surface where standard tripod legs tend to creep and shift. By locking all three legs at a fixed spread, the 01-TFG2 eliminates lateral drift that can throw off sensitive measurements mid-job — keeping your theodolite, automatic level, or laser receiver exactly where you planted it.
Overview & Jobsite Applications
Whether you're shooting grades inside a warehouse with freshly sealed floors, setting control points on a concrete pour deck, or running elevations through a finished commercial interior, the SitePRO 01-TFG2 provides the leg restraint and over-point accuracy that demanding fieldwork requires. The dual-spread configuration adapts the guide to open floor conditions or tight corridor setups, making it equally useful on expansive slab pours and confined mechanical room installations.
Key Specifications
- Model: SitePRO 01-TFG2
- Full Spread Diameter: 25¾ inches
- Compact Spread Diameter: 14 inches
- Construction: Heavy-duty aluminum
- Compatible With: Standard surveying tripods for theodolites, automatic levels, and laser receivers
- Setup Style: Over-point floor guide with fast-position leg capture
Key Features
- Dual-Distance Leg Spread: Configures to full 25¾-inch spread for maximum stability on open floors or collapses to a 14-inch footprint for hallways and confined spaces
- Aluminum Construction: Lightweight yet rigid frame resists flex under instrument load without adding carry weight to your kit
- Prevents Leg Creep: Positive leg capture keeps all three tripod legs locked in place on slick or low-friction surfaces throughout the observation session
- Fast Over-Point Setup: Designed for quick centering over control marks — drop it, set the tripod legs in the guide, and plumb without fighting a shifting setup
- Broad Instrument Compatibility: Works with most contractor and surveying tripods used with total stations, optical levels, and rotating laser receivers
- Durable Jobsite Design: Built to handle the abuse of daily field use on active construction sites
Job Applications
Concrete Slab & Pour Decks: Control marks on smooth concrete are notoriously hard to set over cleanly. The 01-TFG2 locks the tripod spread the moment legs are positioned, letting you focus on plumbing rather than chasing leg slip.
Commercial Interior Finish Work: Polished tile and sealed epoxy floors create near-frictionless conditions for tripod legs. The floor guide eliminates the need for sandbags or tape workarounds when running interior elevations or layout control.
Warehouse & Industrial Facility Surveys: Large open floor areas with smooth sealed surfaces demand a stable setup across long observation distances. The full 25¾-inch spread provides the wide base needed for confident long-range shots.
Confined Mechanical & Utility Spaces: The 14-inch compact configuration fits the guide into tight mechanical rooms, elevator shafts, and corridor intersections where a full-spread guide would obstruct traffic or simply not fit.

Frequently Asked Questions
- What tripod types are compatible with the SitePRO 01-TFG2?
- The 01-TFG2 is designed to work with standard contractor and surveying tripods used with theodolites, automatic levels, total stations, and laser receivers. Check that your tripod leg diameter and spread angle fall within the guide's capture range before purchasing.
- Can the 01-TFG2 be used outdoors on asphalt or pavement?
- Yes. While it excels on polished interior concrete and tile, the floor guide is equally effective on sealed asphalt, smooth pavement, and any low-friction outdoor surface where leg creep is a concern.
- How quickly can the floor guide be deployed on site?
- The 01-TFG2 is built for fast over-point setup. Place the guide over your control mark, set each tripod leg into the capture points, and proceed with plumbing and leveling — no tools required for deployment.
- Does the 01-TFG2 work in both spread configurations without additional hardware?
- Yes. The guide switches between the full 25¾-inch spread and the compact 14-inch configuration without any additional hardware or adapters, making field reconfiguration quick and tool-free.
