Features

Smart Technology That Saves Time

Smart Spot Finder Technology

Automatically aligns the beam to the target
Calculates grade for second-day checks
Verifies previous work accuracy

Line Set/Check

Raises beam up to 100% above the trench
Perfect for steep slopes & pipe jacking
Eliminates waiting for trench clearance

Line Alert

Warns if the laser is bumped
Prevents costly grade errors and rework

Cross-Axis Compensation

No manual leveling required
Faster, more consistent setups

Extended Range & Remote Control

The DG813 covers longer runs with fewer setups:

Beam Range: up to 150m / 500ft
Radio Remote Range: up to 130m / 430ft (over the top)

IP68 Rated (dustproof & waterproof)
Handles vibration, mud, and standing water
Patented upward-bending target lens makes beam visible from above — no awkward bending

Power Options for Long Job Runs

NiMH Rechargeable: up to 40 hrs runtime
Alkaline Compatibility: up to 50 hrs runtime
Optional Car Charger for remote job sites
No external battery pack required
