Bosch Surveying Level Tripod BT170HD 65 Inch Aluminum Quick Clamp Platform (5/8-11 Thread Double Banded Legs Rotary Laser Grade Layout Stand)

Bosch BT170HD 65" Heavy-Duty Aluminum Quick-Clamp Surveying & Laser Tripod

The Bosch BT170HD heavy-duty aluminum tripod provides a vibration-dampened 65-inch elevation platform to stabilize rotary lasers, optical automatic levels, and 3-plane line lasers across active jobsites. Built with heavy-gauge tubular aluminum and double-banded leg struts, this 12-lb survey-grade instrument stand utilizes positive-locking quick clamps and screw-fastened hinges to maintain rigid elevation without leg slippage under heavy winds or nearby equipment vibrations. Equipped with an industry-standard 5/8"-11 flat mounting head, metal ground-piercing foot points, and a poly webbing shoulder strap, it delivers fast setup, precise grade transfer, and dependable benchmark accuracy for site prep, concrete framing, and structural elevation leveling.

Best Used For:

• Site-Wide Grade and Elevation Staking: Supporting long-range rotary laser transmitters such as the Bosch REVOLVE2000 series across outdoor grading, excavation, and drainage layouts.
• Foundation and Formwork Optical Surveying: Providing an unyielding, vibration-free platform for automatic optical levels like the Bosch GOL series during benchmark referencing.
• Interior Commercial Layout and Framing: Elevating 360-degree 3-plane laser levels such as the Bosch GLL3-300 to align suspended ceiling grids, mechanical runs, and interior partition walls.

Key Performance & Safety Features

• Double-Banded Aluminum Leg Design: Heavy-gauge reinforced strut geometry adds structural stiffness to resist rotational torsion, wind load, and jobsite vibration.
• Positive-Locking Quick Clamps: Fast-action cam levers lock leg extensions instantly into place to eliminate slippage and accelerate grade setup times.
• Heavy-Duty Screw-Attached Hinges: Fully serviceable screw-and-nut hinge fasteners ensure long-term joint tension and easy field adjustments compared to standard riveted joints.
• Universal 5/8"-11 Instrument Mount: Flat-top mounting head accepts all standard commercial laser receivers, rotary levels, theodolites, and optical sighting equipment.
• Sharp Steel Ground Spikes: Pointed foot spikes penetrate dirt, gravel, and asphalt fissures to prevent base shifting on uneven outdoor terrain.
• Collapsible Frame with Transport Strap: Folds down to a 42-inch compact profile and includes a heavy-duty shoulder strap for effortless transport between benchmark stations.

Technical Specifications

Pro-Tip: Use the integrated foot step-tabs on each tripod leg to drive the steel ground points firmly into soil or turf before tightening the 5/8"-11 mounting stud; seating the spikes into solid ground eliminates thermal expansion and wind shifts during all-day leveling shots.
