Laser Grader Blade for skid steer hire

Laser Grader Blade

A grading blade uses laser receivers to reference the level or slope set by a laser transmitter. The blade, carrier and control system work together to spread and trim suitable material.

When to choose it

  • Preparing building pads and slab bases
  • Grading yards and hardstand areas
  • Trimming level or consistent-slope surfaces in a compact work area

When it’s not the right call

  • Obstructed laser signal. Receivers need a clear reference signal. Buildings, plant and stockpiles can interrupt it.
  • Complex 3D surfaces. A plane laser is not a full digital terrain model. A different control setup may be needed.
  • Unprepared base. Soft material, poor compaction or incorrect calibration can affect the finish.

Sizes we work with

The size depends on your machine and the job. Share the carrier make and model, material and dimensions so we can check the setup.

The Right Setup Starts Here

Tell us what you need to get done. A few key details about your job help us specify, configure and commission the right attachment for your machine, application and site requirements.

  • Design levels: Benchmark, plane or fall, required tolerance and independent level checks.
  • Site layout: Area, signal obstructions and possible transmitter locations.
  • Survey equipment: Laser, receivers and control equipment already available, plus setup responsibilities.
  • Your machine: Make, model, mounting plate, rated operating capacity and relevant hydraulic or electrical controls.

Common questions

What is a laser grader blade used for?

A laser grader blade grades building pads, slab bases and hardstands to a level or slope set by a laser transmitter.

Do I need a laser transmitter for a laser blade?

Yes, the blade's receivers need a compatible reference laser with a clear signal. Tell us what survey equipment is on site.

Laser blade or GPS blade?

A laser sets a plane or single slope. GPS or UTS guidance suits complex 3D design surfaces.

Can a skid steer grade a house pad accurately?

With a laser-controlled blade and suitable material, it is well suited to compact pad and slab-base preparation.

Will a laser grader blade fit my skid steer or track loader?

Send us the machine make and model, mounting plate details and hydraulic flow and pressure. The laser grader blade's weight, the loader's rated operating capacity and any electrical controls also need to match. We check the combination before it mobilises so it arrives ready to work.
