The Spectra Precision CR700 combination laser receiver delivers dual-purpose functionality that reduces equipment investment and site complexity for contractors managing multiple grading applications. The CR700 operates as a machine-mounted display for small grading equipment while also functioning as a traditional hand-held grade rod receiver—true versatility in a single rugged platform.
Machine-mounted configuration utilizes the CR700's bright LED arrow display and Light Bar technology, providing operators with clear grade guidance from the cab or machine platform. The magnetic clamp securely attaches to compact grading equipment, small dozers, or motor graders where larger receivers would interfere with operations. Multiple accuracy deadbands allow operators to establish dead zones around on-grade, reducing correction cycles and improving efficiency on fine-grade applications.
The same unit quickly converts to rod-mounted use for traditional grade verification work, eliminating the need to purchase separate grade rod receivers. Hand-held operation uses identical controls and LED feedback, ensuring crews transition between machine-mounted and rod-mounted applications without retraining. This flexibility significantly reduces total equipment investment across a construction company's fleet.
Digital elevation readout provides precise height information independent of the laser grade system, enabling contractors to verify absolute elevations and establish benchmarks. The rugged waterproof construction withstands mud immersion, water spray, and concrete dust without performance loss. Polycarbonate housing absorbs impacts common in field environments while maintaining internal component protection.
For contractors managing multiple machine types or mixing machine grading with hand-finish work, the CR700 eliminates the cost and complexity of maintaining separate receiver inventories. One device covers both applications, reducing storage needs, simplifying crew training, and ensuring consistent feedback across different grading operations.
The CR700 is the practical solution for contractors who demand versatility without sacrificing accuracy or durability. The 3-year warranty provides long-term protection on this multi-application investment.
