Key Features
Fast, automatic setup Self-levels in under 20 seconds and holds a leveling accuracy of .1 mm/m, so you are not burning time tweaking it every time you move stations. Jobsite-ready housing IP 65 dustproof and waterproof design with shock-absorbing casing helps the laser survive weather, mud, and the occasional knock or drop. Ready-to-run set Comes with the receiver, tripod, and grade rod so you can start layout and grading work without chasing accessories.
Overview
The Stabila 04500TR LAR 160 G Rotation Laser Set With Tripod and Grade Rod (Model Number: 04500TR) is a rotary laser level set designed for leveling, plumb, and square layout work on interior and exterior jobsites. This is the kind of setup you buy when you need repeatable accuracy for site layout, concrete forms, and grade work and you want a kit that is ready to deploy.
The LAR 160 G is fully automatic and motor-driven. It self-levels in under 20 seconds and delivers a leveling accuracy of .1 millimeters per meter (also listed as .125 inches at 100 feet). In real terms, that means you can set it up, get on the rod, and trust what you are seeing without babysitting the tool all day.
Visibility is handled with STABILA GREENBEAM technology. Green is easier to pick up than red in a lot of real jobsite conditions, and this laser is built to be used with the included REC 160 RG receiver when you are working at distance. With the receiver, the working area reaches up to 600 meters in diameter (up to 2,000 feet in diameter), which is the range you need for larger slabs and site layout.
You get four laser functions: horizontal rotation, vertical rotation, plumb-line, and right angle (square) in vertical operation. That covers the common layout tasks from setting level lines and elevations to squaring walls and checking plumb without switching tools.
STABILA built this one for jobsite abuse. It carries an IP 65 rating for dustproof and waterproof protection, and the shock-absorbing casing is there to help protect the optics and internals from impacts. Controls are straightforward with a three-button setup (on/off, tilt mode, manual mode), so it is not a menu-diving exercise to run it.
Mounting is standard and flexible with two integrated 5/8 inch threads (5/8 inch by 11), supporting horizontal and vertical applications on tripods or mounts. The kit includes a construction tripod and a Hi-Lo elevation rod, so it is a solid fit for contractors doing grading, form work, and general construction layout who want one case that covers the whole setup.
See it and run it in real conditions
If your laser lives in the back of the truck and works in dust and weather, the housing matters as much as the accuracy. The LAR 160 G is built to keep going when conditions are not clean.
- IP 65 dustproof and waterproof protection class
- Shock-absorbing casing designed to protect internal components and optics
Cover a full site with the receiver
For outdoor layout and grading, you are typically working to the receiver, not staring at the beam. This kit pairs the laser with the REC 160 RG digital receiver for long-range work.
- Working area up to 600 meters in diameter (up to 2,000 feet in diameter) with the REC 160 RG receiver
- Includes construction tripod and Hi-Lo elevation rod for elevation and grade checks
Simple controls, versatile layout
You should not need a manual every time you set a laser up. The three-button control layout keeps operation quick, and the functions cover the work most crews actually do.
- Three-button control system: on/off, tilt mode, manual mode
- Laser functions: horizontal, vertical, plumb-line, and right angle (square)
