Description

Dual-Slope Capability for Complex Grading Applications

The SETUP GL1425C is a professional dual grade rotating laser level engineered for contractors who need precision on demanding jobsites. With independent X-axis and Y-axis slope control, the GL1425C eliminates the need for multiple instrument setups or manual compound slope calculations—saving time, reducing errors, and keeping crews moving efficiently from start to finish. Whether you're grading a parking lot, establishing drainage fall across a building pad, or finishing a crowned road surface, this laser delivers the control and reliability professionals demand.

Jobsite Overview & Applications

The GL1425C is built for outdoor construction environments where accuracy and durability are non-negotiable. Its robust housing withstands dust, moisture, and the vibration of active worksites. The self-leveling system gets the instrument operational quickly, and the wide grade range supports everything from near-flat slab work to aggressive drainage slopes. Contractors working in civil construction, site development, agricultural grading, and commercial concrete will find the GL1425C a versatile and dependable tool for daily use.

Job Applications

Parking Lot & Pavement Grading: Set precise cross-fall and longitudinal grades in a single instrument setup, ensuring proper stormwater drainage across large paved surfaces without time-consuming repositioning.

Building Pad & Foundation Prep: Establish a perfectly graded building pad with controlled slope to direct water away from foundations—critical for both commercial and residential site work.

Agricultural Land Leveling: The wide grade range and long working distance make the GL1425C ideal for field leveling, irrigation channel grading, and drainage ditch layout on large agricultural properties.

Road Construction & Crowned Surfaces: Apply independent X and Y slopes simultaneously to achieve crowned road profiles and proper shoulder fall without multiple laser setups or manual grade checks.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the GL1425C set two different slopes at the same time?: Yes. The GL1425C features true dual-grade functionality, allowing you to set independent slopes on both the X-axis and Y-axis simultaneously. This makes it ideal for cross-fall, crowned surfaces, and complex drainage layouts that would otherwise require multiple setups.
What detector is recommended for use with the GL1425C?: SETUP offers compatible outdoor laser detectors designed to work with the GL1425C's red beam. For maximum working range and bright-light performance, use a SETUP grade detector mounted to a rod clamp. See the Compatible Accessories section above for options.
Is the GL1425C suitable for machine control applications?: The GL1425C is compatible with machine control receivers designed for grade laser input. This allows the laser signal to interface with blade control systems on graders and dozers for automated grading operations. Verify receiver compatibility with your machine control system before purchase.
What is the working range of the GL1425C?: With a compatible laser detector, the GL1425C delivers a working range of up to 800 meters in diameter—suitable for large site grading, agricultural leveling, and long-range layout work. Unaided visible range in low-light conditions is significantly shorter.
