FAQs about Construction Lasers & Equipment

How are lasers used in construction?

• A construction laser is useful for leveling or grading tasks that need two people when only one is available. The common tasks for levels are leveling worksites, grading terrain or leveling floors.

How does a laser level work?

• The level emits light in the form of a laser beam through electromagnetic radiation. The beam of light creates a horizontal line that the worker can then use as a reference to attach another object to a wall or flat surface while maintaining a 180-degree line and ensuring a straight or level fixture.

How do laser receivers work?

• Laser receivers — also known as laser detectors — can mount to a laser rod and detect the laser beam when you are working outside. Laser receivers are beneficial during daylight hours as the laser beam can be hard to see in the sunlight. The laser receiver typically emits a sound when you are close to being on level and again when you are on level.
