A grade rod is often used by a land surveyor, construction worker, or any other person who needs to make accurate measurements of grade elevation, especially as it relates to the differences between two points. Plumbers, concrete professionals, and farmers can also use this tool to measure elevation differences of almost any surface. This survey rod can come in a variety of models — each with their own specific applications. The tape mechanism can be moved up or down, so the elevation of a specific point can be measured. A laser can also be attached for more accurate readings.
We carry all types of measuring rods, including the following:
- Grade rods
- Level rods
- Direct elevation rods
- Sight rods
- Lenker rods
- Specialty smart rods
Like a leveling rod, this tool is essential for any building contractor, paving company, excavation company, concrete professional, or plumber. You can buy an aluminum grade rod, but a fiberglass model will last longer if you take care of it properly.
